I wonder how long it'll be until they make that Christian movie about an evil atheist Internet Critic. Didn't someone write about such a premise in this thread?

Yea Dove Association is like, in it's world, the biggest player so it's kinda hilarious they even were thin skinned enough to cry about it. It'd be like if Starbucks decided to run an ad saying "HEY TIM'S COFFEE ON MAIN IN PHOENIX ARIZONA? YO gently caress YOU TIM! YOUR COFFEE TASTES LIKE poo poo!" I'm into 'the devil is seen in a hell like environment' as something worth pointing out as a bad thing

So for the people like, say, Kevin Sorbo and Kirk Cameron and all who's bread and butter is Christian movies and media Dove's seal of approval is basically make or break for them because their fans absolutely 100% take those reviews seriously and are sitting there going 'thank you, Dove, for warning me that this movie has a yoga sign in it, now I can be ready for the devil's evil trick of...bending'.

sexpig by night posted:I'm into 'the devil is seen in a hell like environment' as something worth pointing out as a bad thing A loooooot of Evangelicals are super into the idea that if you show anything that even hints at Satan or Hell or whatever, you run the risk of... I don't know, some kind of demonic contamination or something. They don't express it that way, but it's very much evident in how they view the world in general and entertainment in particular-- it doesn't matter the context, it doesn't matter if it's fictional, simply showing a thing opens the possibility of giving that thing power. The only exception is in stuff that's explicitly Evangelical, hence the extreme types not even allowing any non-Evangelical entertainments. This of course ascribes a ridiculous amount of power to Satan and reduces God's power to almost nil, but it's very difficult to be the oppressed underdog when you truly believe that you're supported by an omnipotent entity.

Alaois posted:an Evangelical who is way into the Shin Megami Tensei franchise I'd really like to know that one works  . For those that don't know, a general theme of the SMT games is that Order is generally somewhat evil, because it's all about complete perfect and harmonious Order. Or else. Do as you are told, YHVH is great, and if you step out of line you will get crushed mercilessly. Chaos, on the other hand, is literally Lucifer telling you to stand up for yourself, and use your own strength to kick some loving rear end and show everyone who is boss (you)  . Strength is power, and if you are the biggest, baddest, motherfucker then you should rightfully be King of the Hill. The Neutral approach is generally just un-loving the world back to normal and getting the hell away from both sides.

This reminds me of a fascinating story I read over on the Christianity thread: quote:Monks do not only pray for the living and the dead but even for the most miserable creatures, the demons, who, unfortunately, even though thousands of years have passed, have become worse and have progressed in their evilness. Yeah, the Eastern Christian tradition differs a wee tiny bit from the evangelicals.

That sounds to me that they take "Speak of the Devil and he will appear" as a literal thing that could happen.

KKall has kicked off Shakespeare again with Shakespeare In Love. Bennett has a new Anime Abandon out looking at the next Armitage III show, replacing Elizabeth Berkley with Audrey from Christmas Vacation. She sounds even worse somehow.

Not sure if Bennett mentions it, but a fun quirk of most of the Armitage III dubs is Bryan Cranston himself voices Eddie.

By the way, KKall, I was rewatching your Revolver review, and at the end you hint at a video on Fiddler on the Roof. Is that going to happen or were you just recommending it for a film about Kabbalah? Because I'd love to see a video on it either way.

Speaking of KK... Positive feedback on recent vids: I really like that when you show a clip, you have the flyout on the bottom that says which movie it is. It's a little thing, but really helps the video because I'm not splitting my focus on trying to think "wait, what's the film on screen right now?"

Technically the YWVH in SMT isn't the actual Christian God, but the demiurge masquerading as Him. There is a capital G God in the setting that is benevolent but distant
