    Well, Bush was elected, so things do look worse for the world.
    Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

        Hey Markos why is it is so hard for your countrymen to come into terms with their gay history? I don't understand it...... ?

          Sin City. Good cross of splatterpunk and film noir. Dark, gruesome, and violent, with a really strong vigilante streak. The Crow hybridized with the Maltese Falcon and Scarface. My wife commented that our little girl will get to see it when she's thirty.

            Honestly, I expected that movie to be much more violent than it actually was- I was expecting to be shocked by the stuff in it, but none of it was shocking.

            5 Minutes of a good war movie beats it with gore.

              Oh, and I guess that you will keep that little girl in some dark cellar form she is 18 to 30 ?

              With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                    Wanna be shocked? Rent The Pillow Book by Peter Greenaway. Way too much full frontal male nudity. You even get to see Obi Wan's package

                      Maybe it's like the late sixties again. Look for ten years of unceasing cynicism. The movies will get worse, but the music will get better.

                          Pillow Book I love that movie. I own most of Greenaway's available catalogue. I had to dl Baby of Macon, since it's banned in the US.

                          A lot of Peter Greenaway's output is shocking. "The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover", "A Zed and Two Noughts", "They Baby of Macon" are probably the most shocking. The others have only brief moments of shock and most of them have lots of nudity.
                          "In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
