Jack Gladney posted:I'm still a little sad that King of the Hill didn't last long enough to do an episode about it. I can just see it now: Hank and Peggy meet a nice couple at church and become friends. Then they get invited over for bible study after the husband misunderstands Hank's enthusiasm for "discipline" (he of course means the protestant work ethic necessary to repair his riding lawnmower), and right at the first act break they walk into the living room, see the couple decked out in Christian bondage gear and cut to commercial right as Hank lets out the first "bwaugh!" This made me laugh out loud because I could totally visualize the entire thing, right up to Hank's quivering lip at the end.

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Domestic Discipline (DD) marriage is one in which one partner is given authority over the other, and has the means to back up that authority, usually by spanking. The application and practise of DD in each marriage is as unique as the individuals who make up that marriage. There is no "One Ring of Power" in the Domestic Discipline world, to which all DD couples must bow; no singular path to "true DD enlightenment". What works well for one DD couple may not be a good fit for another marriage. Therefore, you may see many different suggestions espoused on this site and elsewhere. The gender-neutral language in this description is priceless, as if any male participant in this scheme would let a woman hold power over him.

I vaguely remember a shootout at a drug store? The Fonz goes back to Chicago a reformed man, starts a new gang there. They even made a sequel that completely ripped off The Goonies. That was one of the most amazing collections of scenes I've ever seen. It was like the best combination of MST3k movie from 1962, low budget gay romance and Kids in the Hall sketch. I feel more than a little tempted to get a group of friends and watch the whole thing. Grendels Dad posted:... You're about 40 years too late - now it's all about the evil seductive [male] bisexuals. Also, this whole thread is making me wonder - are there any really terrible Jewish or Muslim films? Is making crap movies exclusively Christian or can all Abrahamic religions do it? What about non-abrahamic religions? (I suppose the fact that religions like Judaism and Buddhism aren't quite so focussed on conversion and "spreading the good news" means they don't have quite the same impetus to make films specifically about the benefits of evangelising or whatever else.)

So Brad Jones (an Internet Critic who reviews terrible schlock films mostly from the 70s and 80s as "the Cinema Snob" and also does vlog reviews (out of character) for new releases) went to see Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas and his reaction is that it is one of the most  movies of the year.

That movie actually managed to piss me off because of the fact that I know there are several dumb idiots/hicks who think that this something that really happens. I mean I'm Catholic so I don't have that whole "hate science and colleges" thing going on with my denomination (of course not saying that Catholicism is perfect mind you), but seriously watching that movie made my blood boil at everything about this movie, not even the whole Kevin Sorbo plot, no what really was loving terrible was the Muslim girl who converts secretly subplot and then gets throttled and disowned by her evil father because Muslims are evil moon worshipers. What sucks even more is trying to explain to people I know how bad this movie is and not getting shutdown with the "well you got respect people's opinions and maybe you should be looking for a job instead of watching lovely movies"

I went and saw Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas with a couple of friends yesterday morning, and it was worth every penny (of a matinee price, at least). The movie actually has a certain charm in its completely unselfconscious amateurishness. It opens with a long and confusing monologue from Cameron, in which he is sitting in a cozy chair in front of a fireplace and taking long pauses to sip hot cocoa. If you didn't know anything about Kirk Cameron, you would think it was a parody of Christmas specials. There are so many things done wrong. The "cinematographer" is way too in love with shallow focus to the point where there were a few times when nothing was in focus. Whoever did the editing really likes slow motion and long sequences of people looking at each other (so much looking!). The acting alternates between attempts to be "real" and dramatic and over the top, embarrassingly unfunny "comedic" monologues. It literally feels like Kirk Cameron just gathered together some people from his church to make this movie, which again, is kind of charming. One of the best parts is his explanation of why Santa Claus is a true Christian. Apparently, part of the St. Nicholas story is that he once slapped a heretic during the Counsel of Nicea. Kirk Cameron essentially tells us that the real story would be too boring, so he reimagines it to be more exciting. In this version, St. Nicholas hears that this heretic is in town spreading heresy at the local tavern. St. Nicholas treks through the snow to the tavern, sits down next to the guy, quotes the bible at him, and then proceeds, wholly unprovoked, to beat the poo poo out him with his staff. This proves that he was a true defender of the faith. Don't forget to stick around for the "bloopers" during the credits, which are literally the most mundane mistakes imaginable. Oh, and there is an improvised rap after the credits that will make you embarrassed for everyone involved. Malaleb fucked around with this message at 20:44 on Nov 29, 2014 |

On Thursday there were a few ads for Ridley Scott's Exodus. It's also on the latest X-Men DVD, so I guess it's important. I think it's obvious that the film won't put any kind of emphasis on Jewish OR Christian theologies, but it's interesting to see more Biblical epics in AD 2014/15. Speaking of AD, that (mini?)series is by the same folks behind The Bible, but I don't have high hopes for it. It appears to take place immediately after the resurrection, of which time there's little/nothing written.

I'd be interested in this but it just looks like a remake of The Ten Commandments, rather than a more straight telling of the Exodus story. Will they have Moses find out in adulthood that he's really a Hebrew? I saw Noah a few nights ago, and enjoyed the first half, but thought it fell apart in the second when they started creating drama by having Tubal-Cain stow away in the ark and Noah threatening to kill Shem's babies if they're girls, and Ham's Quest for a Wife. I know it wasn't a "bible" movie and more of an epic myth movie, and there's not a whole lot of detail about the pre-flood times in Genesis, but the movie was over two hours long, could have cut that stuff and had a fine story. I liked the stuff about the Watchers and the nastiness of the antediluvian world. I'm still waiting for a good film that actually stays true to the bible story it's based on. Not that I'm a purist, I just feel the bible stories are so weird and interesting it would be better.

Yeah, okay, seen it before, like, four times at least. quote:I saw Noah a few nights ago, and enjoyed the first half, but thought it fell apart in the second when they started creating drama by having Tubal-Cain stow away in the ark and Noah threatening to kill Shem's babies if they're girls, and Ham's Quest for a Wife.

Not that I'm a purist, I just feel the bible stories are so weird and interesting it would be better. Cutting out all that climax stuff basically cuts out Noah’s entire arc as a character, though. Before that, he’s still basically generic fantasy movie kill guy. It’s when he becomes so zealous in his belief that humanity is fundamentally impure and must come to extinction that he ironically becomes like Tubal-Cain. Basically, the ending of Noah which is more true to the Bible is really depressing: Noah and his family survive the flood, God says, “Well, go ahead and start reaping the bounty of the Earth because I have appointed you dominion over creation,” and Noah curses one of his sons and his ancestors to be slaves for eternity. You could do it, but contrasting Aronofsky’s film to the original myth, the former is a really explicit rejection of the latter. The film even goes as far as to make Tubal-Cain and his people prehistoric industrialists with vast mining operations to make the analogy that our contemporary ecological practices are rooted in a false conception of God.

I did enjoy the whole Noah going mad thing, but when Tubal-Cain chopped his way though the side of the Ark with a hatchet, I just rolled my eyes. I wonder if it leaked the whole time? It makes sense characterwise but I just wasn't engaged like I had been the first hour.

raditts posted:The more I hear about that movie, the more I want to see it. Next time get in touch with your local church to see if they offer a field trip to the movies where they pay for the tickets because of some discount or whatever. My church in the area has been doing this for all kinds of religious movies this year like Son of God, God's Not Dead and Heaven is for Real. Hell, they're probably doing Exodus this Friday as well. I'm still waiting for that next religious epic blockbuster like Passion of the Christ that forces theaters to open earlier where concessions will sell orange juice, coffee and donuts (yes, this actually happened). Maybe that only happened because of the name Christ in the title. Please, filmmakers, start including Jesus and/or Christ in the title of your religious movies so I can get coffee and donuts at the movies. Here are some examples of how easy it is to improve your box office take. -Son of God Who is Jesus -Christ Tales: Noah -God's Not Dead, Jesus is Fine -Heaven Is For Real And So Was Jesus -Exodus: Gods and Kings and Jesus Makes Three

I'm referring to the fact that Son of God is literally a collection of clips and unused footage from Jesus parts of The Bible miniseries. It was edited together for a 2+ hour movie and pushed into theaters.

Infamous Sphere posted:Also, this whole thread is making me wonder - are there any really terrible Jewish or Muslim films? I'm living in Amman right now and while I'm not actually exposed to a huge amount of Middle Eastern cinema (because I don't speak Arabic and they obviously don't put English subtitles on TV when the programming is in Arabic), but yes there are plenty of movies with overt Muslim overtones. But it's not quite the same as Christian movies in the US: religious movies in the West deliberately stand against a lot of modern culture - they're moralizing and conservative in opposition to what they see as an immoral (or amoral), liberal Hollywood. Overtly religious movies in the Middle East, meanwhile, often aren't that different from ostensibly non-religious movies, since they're all generally pretty conservative anyway. So they don't necessarily make a big deal out of the religious message, it's just built into what the audience expects the story to be. I should say that these sorts of movies aren't actually that popular here, and there aren't many produced overall. Soap operas are big and you could argue they preach relatively conservative values, but they're also probably more scandalous with (unseen) sex and drugs than most American Christian movies. In terms of movies, though, theaters here are completely dominated by Hollywood movies. You don't see many European movies which are probably too sexual for people here.

Every month, my church's youth group does a movie night. Last night's pick was Mom's Night Out. Honestly, it wasn't that bad. The moral actually criticizes some aspects of church culture (regarding judgement of others and ourselves). It's predictable and some of the jokes are lame. It's a little awkward due to its need to conform to conservative values. There's a scene where the protagonist eats a bag of chocolate and acts drunk. Just give her a bottle. The only thing that made me truly uncomfortable was how they managed to still make the women come off worse than the men. The premise of the film is that overworked moms need a rest and yikes, the dads don't understand kids. But by the end of the movie, we see the dads parenting and ENJOYING it, with a nonparent actually being a great "dad", where the moms are judgmental harpies who have to get talked down by sensible men. It's very off-putting. It's a good one to turn your brain off with, though.

I really i ironically loved Sorbos performance. He's such a delightfully endearingly smarmy rear end in a top hat and in the end God proves himself to be every bit the creepy rear end in a top hat he hated him for being. Though I just say my current favorite Xian flick is a rapture picture from 1981 called Years of the Beast which has a pretty cool Red Dawn flavor of focussing on a small group of post-rapture survivors and is also basically the source most ripped off for the Left Behind stories as far as I can tell from my amateur interest in the history of Xian media with a focus in rapture fiction
