Should I subject myself to this?

[Q Classic]

So, after having read Ebert's dressing down of Ben Stein's **** anti-evolution screed, I downloaded that odious piece of tripe.

Should I actually watch it? I'm half-expecting it to be about as good as Ultraviolet.

[MrFun]

Do what the kitty in your avatar suggests.

[Q Classic]

Be really ****ing adorable while asleep?

[Q Classic]

Ben's not funny. And this movie's a bore. It's less compelling than Ultraviolet.

[Q Classic]

Stein misunderstands so much... It's not a bore, it's just sad.

[Q Classic]

I don't know if I can finish this.

[Q Classic]

Ben's as honest as Ben is here. He claims in the first half that there's no religious motivation in this film, but in the second half, it's all about how Evolution is anti-religion.

[Q Classic]

It's funny he highlights the Nazis speaking of the degeneration of modern times trying to illuminate "Darwinism", when it's the Christians Extremists who are decrying the degeneration of of modern times now...

Not the "Darwinists".

Hit me, baby, one more time.

Actually, I'd have to say that I felt more comfortable with having Ultraviolet on my HD than this piece of tripe. Both weren't worth the disk space they were on, but at least Ultraviolet wasn't based on lies.

Hey, I was vaguely amused by ultraviolet. I mean, it's pretty ****ing hard to get an 8% on rotten tomatoes ...

"Can I get a witness," cry the old spirituals. I had seen the usual negative screeds concerning this movie on the sites I frequent, but was unwilling to test it out personally. Thanks for taking the heat for all of us. MrFun may have been right, you'd have been better off with a nap.

Indeed. Those are 90 minutes I'm not getting back. What's worse is that it felt like 120.

What's depressing is that Creationists think Stein and those like him are actually making sound arguments. I guess that's why they're Creationists, though--it takes a high level of stupid to deny reality that much.

[Theben]

Strange that Ben Stein can be so intelligent in other areas but still loony wrt Creationism.
