Can I just say that a remake of this movie with Samuel L. Jackson as the voice in the burning bush would be awesome?

Random Quote
What has theology ever said that is of the smallest use to anybody? When has theology ever said anything that is demonstrably true and is not obvious? I have listened to theologians, read them, debated against them. I have never heard any of them ever say anything of the smallest use, anything that was not either platitudinously obvious or downright false. If all the achievements of scientists were wiped out tomorrow, there would be no doctors but witch doctors, no transport faster than horses, no computers, no printed books, no agriculture beyond subsistence peasant farming. If all the achievements of theologians were wiped out tomorrow, would anyone notice the smallest difference? Even the bad achievements of scientists, the bombs, and sonar-guided whaling vessels work! The achievements of theologians don't do anything, don't affect anything, don't mean anything. What makes anyone think that "theology" is a subject at all?
Richard Dawkins (Free Inquiry, Spring 1998 v18)

I watched Snakes on a Plane solely because Samuel L Jackson is in it. Bad mistake. That movie was baaad.

This is going to be a really bad joke, but I can't really resist it :)

So much more persuasive than the original.

Chris Clarke: ow, the funny, it burns! My husband is going to wander in here and ask why I'm laughing instead of working on this article I've been breaking my skull over; thanks for getting me in trouble.

I think most of the old testament would be so much more entertaining if S.L.J. took a go at it. Just think of his quoting scripture in "Pulp Fiction." We could even reunite him with Tarantino to see what Q.T. does with an ultra-violent source material.

I'd like to see them add a scene with the Top Ten Rejected Commandments. Any suggestions?

That made me laugh, but "Must Love Jaws" made me laugh harder.
This made me laugh harder still:
Really, I'm wiping tears from my eyes right now. That was too much funny for one day.

I like the one for The Shining ("Shining") best.

This is one of the first phoney movie trailers I saw on the web, and it's still one of the best ones (the one recasting Mary Poppins as a horror film is also good).

Aw, shucks, it didn't even use the very best part of the movie: Edward G Robinson in a dress. Bummer.

This is freaking hilarious. I wonder if they hired the actual movie trailer-voice guy.

Before the comedy, there was "Big Brother", starring everyday guys like Abraham and Noah.
The followup will be an easy game show, "Ten reasons gods blow and commandments sucks". The competitive element will be to avoid mentioning the many usual reasons.

What is so amusing about atheists, is that after telling me there is no God to tell me what to do...they start trying to tell me what to do!

God I hope the troll food has been contaminated with melamine.

What you talkin' 'bout, Darwin Youth?
Did you post in the wrong infidel thread?
Posted by: Dustin | April 29, 2007 3:41 AM
Hmmm... no response. Clearly, he is dead from melamine induced kidney failure. This was either an answer to my prayers, or the result of GW firing 1,200 food inspectors at the beginning of his
Presidencyvacation.Halleluja! I'm not sure whether I should ask God to bless hands-off ultracapitalism or himself. I'll just ask for a pony instead.

I don't watch many popular movies, but I'd see that.
