I was thinking about seeing Religious this weekend, but it was panned pretty much everywhere I looked... Now I'm wondering if I should have done my part as a Godless elite.

I just glanced at the cast list for American Carol.

Gary Coleman as Slave

Really. This film is certain to be some kind of cinematic masterpiece.

Both movies are preaching to the choir. While I don't know anyone who say American Carol, I had a few friends go and see Religulous, and each of them is already an atheist. Jesus.

My theory is that the god-hating liberal latte-sippers actually paid more than the listed ticket price. It's an effete, big-city elitist practice known as "tipping."

@2--actually Coleman is listed as "Bacon Stains Malone"....better, no?

I enjoyed Religulous this weekend. I kept hoping Bill would talk to "normal" people that had real answers to his questions...but he seemed to showcase only the freaks. If you mean to open dialogue with people you need to not make blatant fun of them. Made me laugh like hell, though.

Beverly Hills Chihuahua, for the win. I'm going to see it AGAIN next weekend.

@5. Without a doubt. I wonder if he plays a slave named Bacon Stains.... I smell Oscar!

Hollywood makes movies for 13 year old girls because 13 year old girls go to movies like that.

David Zucker must die. Seriously, The "Scary Movie" franchise, and now this?

Chihuahua was the only family friendly movie to come out since American Girl. Of course it made money, b/c parents love the 90 minute break.

'...Under my administration, I swear to you, that all slaves will be called Bacon Stains Malone!'

Remember when g cole was running for gov of California? Then selling his autographed george foreman grills on ebay? Then making years-too-late michael moore mockumentaries based on chuck dick stories costarring Kelsey Grammar and James Woods and Dennis Hopper which were released just in time to shake the last few undecided rednecks out of the voting tree?

I kinda want to see An American Carol, but I don't want to pay for it. What movie should I buy a ticket for so I can sneak in?

@9 Hollywood makes movies for 28 year old men with the maturity of 13 year old boys. Enough with the comic book movies already.

@14:

Well, for whatever it's worth, 28 year old men with the maturity of 13 year old boys are the ones out there buying a majority of movie tickets these days, so naturally Hollywood is going to cater to their tastes.

When more 35 year old married couples with the maturity of 35 year olds start showing up at the movie theatres in droves, maybe THEN Hollywood will begin catering to THEIR tastes, but until that time...

@10: Airplane is awesome enough to make up for a lot of his turds that have plopped onto movie screens. But yeah, if God had struck him down in 1981 I don't think the world would be any poorer for it.
