To be honest I'm surprised they haven't been pumping this shit out for ages. There seems to be no shortage of credulous Christians waiting to lap up any bullshit that validates their beliefs.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

The 50's and 60's were filled with pious bullshit all over the screen. The jews who run Hollywood know how to suck money out of idiot xtians.

It's like the financial news, there are many attempts to identify trends and see the next one coming and to build some kind of story around it because in a 24/7 news cycle you have to have something to print every hour or so. A couple of summers ago it was probably "Why Comic Book Super Heroes Now Rule Hollywood" or something like that. Next summer it will be "Why Burning Buildings Now Rule Hollywood." Or even this fall. News cycles can't wait that long.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

This is true. I think a lot of people just enjoyed them because they were spectacular epics, though.

Hollywood goes through fads. We'll probably get a spate of Biblical/Christian movies for a while until people get tired of them. Something new (as in a genre not seen for a few years) will then start another fad.

I would have thought that Mel Gibson's odious The Passion of the Christ would have given Christians enough torture-porn spank material for years to come. Here's hoping that Hollywood pandering to them proves to be a short-lived fad.

Maybe we'll get one made which is faithful to the description of the bloodier atrocities?

Quote:32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.

33 And the Lord our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.

34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remainBig Grineut 2

or, even better,

Quote:3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.

1 Sam 15

That should make for some great cinema.
