Harry Potter and A Brief History of Time

[lord of the mark]

Watch the DVD for Prisoner of Azakaban.

Check out the scene where Harry, just off the Knights bus, enters the Leaky Cauldron. A wizard is sitting at a table reading a book. Check the book.


Yup, its A Brief History of Time, by Stephen Hawkings.

...

Wow, things just go from bad to worse with this franchise. First, it glamourizes and glorifies devil-worship with its focus on evil magic, and now it has its main character holding a book by a liberal, east-coast intellectual? One that has the gall to say that god is a sinful gambler and ridicules the Theory of Intelligent Falling?

Satanists.

[Dr Strangelove]

Stephen Hawkings is English, not an east coast American.

I was so hoping this was going to be a parody.

My dear doctor, it pains me to say this, but it's precisely because he's English that he's a sublime example of a liberal, namby-pamby East Coast intellectual. What is more East Coast than intellectual (New) Havens on the New World's East Cost? Why, those intellectuals in the old institutionalized havens of England, Germany, and France, which are, by all accounts, east of the East Coast.

And they wonder why Americans fail in geography.

At least you're wise enough not to contest how evil Hawking is for claiming that God is some lecherous, sinful, wicked gambler.

Bring back Jesus in the schools and educate our children in the Theories of Intelligent {Falling, Design}! We'll learn 'em good, and teach 'em to stomp out the devil-worshipping Harry Potter in their hearts!

BHoT is a ****ty book IMO (and Hawkings is an overrated physicist). For a more or less qualitative intro to cosmology, Wheeler's "Spacetime Physics" is much better.

I'm sure you mean to say that England is not the east coast of America...yet.

I saw that the first time I watched the movie. Quite amusing really.

Yeah, esp when you consider the trick by which the plot is tied up at the end
