Sssssssssshhhhhhhhhh now child. Not only are you boring me, you’re wasting my time.
Now you’ve had your little cry, you’ve had your little temper tantrum. Now it’s time for a glass of warm milk and a lie down.

Phalanx 03-26-2008 06:55 PM

Etc..etc..etc
Just fuck off and leave again, hm?
Done here.

Words that sum up Wufongtan


Pussytard! bastcunt! Freakoser!


WOW! I never knew how fun it is to make up words. Take the best piece of advice you've been given and fuck off. You came here as a twat, left as a twat and everytime you come back you are still a twat! I think you're the insecure one in that you constantly feel the need to cause arguments and try to put others down. And I find it funny that you, a recuring noob doesn't seem to understand that when you piss off the regulars on a forum, you're not going to be let in. You must have experience in not being accepted so I thought you would have stopped trying. So in conclusion.




FUCK OFF!!!

I was disappointed, I thought this thread would be about something else.

ferretchucker 03-27-2008 09:06 AM

That's what i originally thought. But I was thinking along the lines of the rodent.

[rant]I'd make an anti-Christian movie but Bill C-10 might deem it innapropriate and sensor my movie before it's even made... and that's why I'm ready to give up on my religion. Charles McVety can go to hell.[/rant]

No institution has been safe from screenwriters, directors, even the actors themselves, to parody, mock, bash, harange, and utterly protest on the big screen and the glittery glamoury or the amazing silzer screen (distinguish made to represent small films and indie films -low budget v. major films and "blockbusters"- mega budget), except Christianity.

Why no action films where the US is run by militant Christians? Why no films set in the Inquisition about people getting out of a sticky situation? If you're going to degrade other religions (see that godawful Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom) let's put some smut about Christians.

Why is this a topic never breached in the film industry unless "the Church(s)" (Catholic or Prostant) maintains good guy status?

So. I'm a little drunk and couldn't be bothered with actually catching up with the rest of the thread (which, coincidentally seriously pisses me off when people do the same).

I actually think that this is a good topic. I am an outspoken Atheist from my earliest childhood (born and raised by Atheists) and it's something that I have always vehemently believed in (feeling alienated in my youth by the Catholics surrounding me).

In regards to anti-Christian element in the film industry:

a. I feel as though a lot of horror movies and scifi movies in and of themselves are incredibly Nihilistic in every sense of the word (there is Nothing, No God, no Other, No Hope). When you look at iconic films like Psycho, Halloween there is clearly an absence of God: Innocent lives are taken at the decision of one strong, arguably Godless person. Lives are taken without any concern or consequence with consideration to the afterlife: There is nothing but violence and suffering. Blankness.

b. Sci-fi movies are inherently Nihilistic. All participants in outer space are literally "above the Earth," whereby God is more figuratively "above Earth." When you're in space, you are absolutely devoid of rules, God and Society, the epitome of Nihilism.

c. In a more microcosmic and direct level, in recent memory, the film that I can think that directly underminded the Catholic church was most definitely the original Wicker Man: This was at a time where the 60s and Free Love were starting to rapidly fade and was an iconic attempt for that era to reclaim their status and dominate culture. The movie ends with the freelove culture massacring the straight-laced Christian man. It's freelove 60s literally killing Christianity. Pretty provocative for the time, if you think about it.

Nice analysis Chronogirl but Christianity and the Catholic Church are two totally separate entities which I'm sure you know. I just wanted to clear that up a bit since you seem to use them in your post almost as if they're interchangeable.

Well, let's chalk that up to the drunkenness.

I referred to the "church" once in item C. Search and replace with "Christianity."

Ok, but only this time, next time you will be skinned and boiled, or boiled and skinned... depends on the mood I'm in.

The STE 03-28-2008 04:43 PM

Haunted, it might be helpful if you offered up some examples of films that have given other religions the treatment that you're looking for with Christianity.

I'm not sure how direct and blatant you want your Christianity bashing, but if you don't mind it being in a surrealist context, you can do no better than Luis Bunuel films. The guy is merciless.

The_Return 04-12-2008 08:27 AM

Dogma, anyone?

The STE 04-12-2008 08:30 AM

I don't think Dogma fits. It'd be like saying Last Temptation of Christ. The Catholic Church didn't like it because they have their heads up their asses.

The Passion of the Christ. 90 minutes of Jesus getting the shit kicked out of him by Pagans and Jews.

Despare 04-12-2008 10:43 AM

Altered States, I just watched it again and I'd say it fits pretty well.

Yeah the passion was great. I wish they would make a sequel. Where Jesus came back and kicked their arses, over the next 2 thousand years.:D
