[NecronLord]

From the LOTR review

There are inevitable comparisons being drawn between Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring by the secular worldview and the Christian faith. Comparisons are not being drawn between the two movies under any other "religion" I am aware of, not the Muslim or Tao or Jewish faiths or any other faith, just the Christian faith which is under more attack than any other faith. Maybe the Christian faith is under more attack [by the adversary through the unbelievers] than any other faith because it is the "right one": the one faith that poses the greatest and maybe the only real threat to the adversary.

Not only is he a complete idiot who deliberately mis-interperates and reads evil meanings into movies, he's also a paranoid freak who thinks they're all out to destroy Christianity. Right, so if your faith is under more attack than any other it must be because it's the chosen one. By that logic I could say homosexuality is the chosen way because it's more hated and less accepted than heterosexual relations.

Don't forget. Lots of people hated Hitler. Therefore he is right and everyone should want to kill Jews.

You forget that the fundies do want all jews to be annihalated on the Day of Judgement (TM)

scary really.

These people are beyond sad. Fortunately, with all the attention from sites like Fark, it takes a lot of money to run the site. More than they can possibly get.

http://www.capalert.com/

13 days and they've only got $700, out of the $75,000 they 'need.'

Hmm too non-geeky for Slashdot... any other nice places to spam *AHEM* plug the link?

None that I go to, but I'm sure if we looked we could find some.

[Stormbringer]

Look at the site, they selectively interpet the movies. Ones whose message he doesn't like he comes down much harder on. Look at his reviews of LotR or Dogma. He bashes them for things which really make no sense. A biased, stupid, and pompous idiot.

[Peregrin Toker]

If its a guide for parents and grandparents, why are R rated movies included??

Good question.

By the way, this site illustrates another good reason not to be Christian - it apparently makes you unable to watch virtually any movie.

These people are PC fundies. They don't understand that there is killing, death, and abuse in the world. They also refuse to accept that secularism is everywhere, and we're so much better off with it. Movies are supposed to entertain, and sometimes, such "evil" plot elemets are needed to se the mood. Movies are supposed to entertain, not mindlessly worship God.

[fundie]Heathen! How dare you suggest that people shouldn't mindlessly worship God? You'll burn in Hell for this![/fundie]

Seriously though, it's a sad thing when people are so out of touch that they think violence and killing is bad except when God does it.

[Warspite]

The worst of it all, is that they think they can protect the children of concerned parents by alerting said parents to the non-entertaining, distorted and satanic values of the movie industry. I don't know with whom I'm more concerned, the idiot parents or the kids, either one will end up having a distorted view of reality... But, then we all know that's how fundies breed.

[Silver Jedi]

My favorite page is the one about how you should go searching through your childrens stuff looking for symbols that, weather they know it or not, are satanic and leading them away from God, like swastikas (understandable I guess), stars of david, the eye pryamid from the back of a 1 dollar bill , the word "abracadabra", yin yangs, and, my personal favorite, the peace sign . Yes, you read that right, the peace sign is a symbol used by hippies and "freeks" to let everyone know "they were promoting the main doctrine of the church of Satan"

[Enforcer Talen]

satan = peace?

Didn't you know, Satan is the hero of the Bible. Look at all the crap God did. What did Satan do that was comparably evil.

Exactly, the best line from Devil Advocate:

John Milton: Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man INSTINCTS! He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do, I swear for His own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste! Taste, don't swallow. Ahaha! And when you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, fuckin' ass off. He's a tight-ass! He's a sadist! He's an absentee landlord. Worship THAT? NEVER!

It's right. God, if he is the biblical God, is a sadist, sick fuck.

[Lord_Xerxes]

Sorry, I'm late to this thread but, doesn't anyone find it ironic that in the review for the South Park movie, at the bottom they list lots of violence against/on children, and are offended by it. But yet, they're igorning all of the OT!?

adult hate talk to a child

Then take a look at the quote from the OT in my sig.

I especially like it when they say the Yin-Yang has the number 69 hidden in it. First of all, I believe it's a Taoist symbol representing balance between two conflicting forces, and second of all, sex is only condemned by the Bible. Some polytheistic religions had entire gods devoted to sexuality. Of course, only fundies can "be fruitful and multiply", because God needs more minions. After all, God only made man so he'd have people kissing his ass, and so he could test them, play favoriates, get jealous, and kill people. God's like an omnipotent 5 year-old

[Enforcer Talen]

which is why my religious views have changed. I worship God out of resignation, not out of love. swore to follow him as soon as I knew the concept, and I'm not going to (perhaps unable to?) change that when it's not as nice as I thought it was.

[Bug-Eyed Earl]

They even disapproved of SIGNS, a movie about a man rediscovering his faith in God!

As usual, in their marks against the movie, they counted against the movie the kids arguing and disagreeing with their father.

I guess he should have stoned his children to death for that, just like the OT says?

That was one quote that always stuck with me

[SAMAS]

Ah, yes. CAPAlert has been a long-standing object of ridicule at SB.com. If we had known you didn't know about it, we'd have told you sooner.

But you have gotta see their review of The Iron Giant:

In addition, the movie portrayed the soldiers as foul-mouthed. As usual, in not one case was the foul language necessary -- the program was not improved by them. Granted, one is not likely to monitor his language while immersed in life-threatening battle, but there is absolutely no need to teach kids that soldiers talk that way whether they do or not.

On a related note, they said something similar in Saving Private Ryan:

Violence, especially warfare aggression was a little graphic at times. And focusing so much attention on nuclear holocaust and nuclear warfare was not necessary. Why must the producers bring such reality to such a young audience unless they are trying the "You'll thank me when you're older" tease [Matt 25:40]?

Apparently, when trying to teach that War is not glamourous, but rather violent and horrible, you can't actually show them.

• a storm at sea with a shipwreck and bear drowning
• child climbing on to roof to fix antenna
• child wandering into the woods late at night by himself
• a cartoon of nuclear holocaust in an elementary school
• bloody nose
• playing in a junkyard
• warfare violence
  strong focus on nuclear warfare and the nihilistic desperation of it

This is all uner "Wanton Violence/Crime.

Oh, and I love this one:

Wanton Violence/Crime (W):

mysterious disappearances
school bus bombing with bodies under blankets
framing the innocent
multiple firearm threats, many, once to face
long gun battle with injury and deaths
bullets hitting and passing through a man with no effect, repeated in replay
attempted gunfire murder causing injury
dead body
jailhouse brutality
orders to kill, repeatedly
firearms as control tool
talk of murdering a child
self injury for show
beating of a woman with injuries and blood
animal cruelty
cruelty
beating
guillotine threat - placed in it, lever pulled, decapitation not seen
gunfire as threat
attempted murder by gunfire
attempted murder by incineration, multiple
death by incineration

Impudence/Hate (I)(1):

extreme misrepresentation of fatherly love - father turning son in to aggressors, doing it for the son's "own good"
a single use of the three/four letter word vocabulary
lies

Sex/Homosexuality (S):

innuendo re: marital sex
threat of sexual invasion of adolescent girl
sex comments/suggestions, two

Drugs/Alcohol (D):

smoking

Offense to God (O)(2):

unholy power to walk through wall
mysterious escape from handcuffs still closed
lies about God, many
Satanic possession
rejection of God because of mother's death, God didn't save her
"There is no God", repeatedly
smooth talk and fine sounding arguments against God, repeatedly
unholy power to change voice
four uses of God's name in vain but all without the four letter expletive
Satanic ritual
unholy restoration of infirmity, twice
selling soul to Satan and taking the mark, twice
calling Jesus a deceiver

Murder/Suicide (M)(3):

gunfire murder, four

All this, from a movie about the Book of Revelation. It scored a RED on the Stoplight meter.

O.M.G. The review for "End of Days" is SOOOO GOOD.

I'll quote some parts, and through in my comments.

If you watch *End of Days*, my best suggestion is to not believe anything you hear -- anything! Just trust that which is said in the Bible in your hands AND the way in which it is said AND to whom AND by whom.

Cover your ears! See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil!

*End of Days* -- a fantasy about the coming of the antiChrist by Satan impregnating a human woman. Many attempts were made to stop this from happening, including attempting to murder the one chosen to be the mother of the antiChrist. At the beginning of the movie a newborn girl was taken from her mother immediately after birth to a darkened room of the hospital. There, the baby was chanted over and fed snake blood (remember the snake in the Garden of Eden?) to make her the betrothed of Satan and the mother of the antiChrist. I know of nowhere in the Bible that it tells us Satan will sire the antiChrist with a human woman -- a mockery of the human yet immaculate birth of baby Jesus? The snake in the movie was a rattlesnake. Having witnessed a rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas I can tell you rattlesnakes do not bleed like the one in this movie.

Wow, a fundie with a penchant for knowing things about snakes! Why am I not surprised. This may be a leap in logic, but if you were supposed to be just "rounding up" the snakes, why were they bleeding? Way to injury/kill animals. Probably to get the blood for one of your ridiculous snake rituals *sarcasm*

Twenty years later, suicidal Jericho Cane (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a New York City ex-cop turned security professional left the NYPD for "personal reasons" -- some criminals murdered his wife and daughter in their home for which Cane blamed himself. Cane became the unsuspecting hero to do battle with the adversary from the sulphurous pit. Christine York (Robin Tunney), the baby from 20 years ago, was the woman "chosen" to bear the 'son of Satan' -- the antiChrist. No one knew the name of the mother of the antiChrist until her name was revealed by "Christ in york" carvings into the skin of the belly of a priest crucified on the ceiling of a New York City hospital room. Christ-in-york --> Christine York. How clever!

Actually for a movie, it is! Especially for an Arnold movie. *I love Arnold.*

Gabriel Byrne played the part of a banker who was first violently murdered by the spirit of the sulphurous pit-dweller then possessed by it, obsessed with finding York to impregnate her. Voila! The antiChrist. The movie portrayed the Catholic church as believing the coming of the antiChrist could be stopped if they could kill its mother before its birth, treating the Word of God as if it can be manipulated (I do NOT believe this is a doctrine of the Catholic church -- just a figment of the imagination of the movie writers)

Yes, you are correct. The Catholic Church would never have the time to come up with such an excellent plan. They're too busy raping altar boys. hahaha! And the word of god can and is manipulated, whenever an error needs to be fixed, or something is proven wrong!

*End of Days* presents some of the slickest counterfeitings of the Scriptures I have *ever* seen: some of the smoothest-sounding lies ever produced. I am amazed that an actor could actually say some of the things said in this movie. Probably every warning you've ever heard about how Satan prowls to seduce and to steal, kill and devour was "fulfilled" in *End of Days* [e.g., 1 Pet. 5:8; Mark 13:22]. Just a few examples of the "slickery" of this movie included "Where was God when they killed your family" (Satan to Cane), "You died for nothing" (Cane to Jesus), and "I'll give you back everything He took away" (Satan to Cane about Cane's wife and daughter).

But....It's true! Where was He when this happened?! Oh, that's right. He was letting terrorist plan to fly a 747 into a New York building and kill thousands. Almost forgot about that one. God is pardoned on his absenteeism that day.

Examples of counterfeiting of the Scriptures included man being able to stop the coming of the antiChrist by murdering its mother "in the name of Jesus"; logical-sounding arguments to make God the "bad guy";

Apparently, it's illegal to make logically sound arguements against god or the bible! We're all sinners for being logical and not morons.

portrayal that celestial alignment can predict the beginning of the antiChrist. God said that no man shall know the day nor even the hour which will mark the second coming of Christ [Matt. 24:36] which will precede the loosening of the beast and its antiChrist

But then how did the Church know that Judgement Day was supposedly supposed to happen at the turn of the century if no man could know! They can't. I guess that's why it didn't happen. Or maybe because the book is pure fiction.

Satan was portrayed as having the power to resurrect the dead, to ignore and be immune to the power given to Christians

aslkfkjdasjfklsdjfklajfjdasjfklfajlasdjklfjasdlfjasdfjasdjgfawysdofuasdjf!!!!

Power......of.......Christians! Brain.......exploded!!!

What POWER?! Holy water? What is this, a Dracula movie? What are they gonna do, hold up the bible? A crucifix! HE'S SATAN! You're fucked! Period.

Also present was the typical dumping of ignominy: foul language, nudity/sex, murder and contemplated suicide, human incineration, gore/blood/guts, and lots of gunfire to murder/kill and attempt to murder/kill.

HE'S SATAN!!!!! WTF!? Is he supposed to kill them by smiling? Tossing rainbows at them? He's the Lord of Darkness! Of course he's going to murder, kill, incinerate!

You know, when god was handing out brains, this guy was taking a shit. Too much White Castle...

In one case of gunfire, Schwartzenegger shot his sidekick in the arm to see if he was 'real' since earlier gunfire into Satan was miraculously healed immediately with no blood. The miraculous healing of Satan's traumatized tissue was, of course, shown as the traumatized flesh crawled back together. The gunshot injury of Schwartzenegger's sidekick, while severe enough at the time of the gunfire to need medical treatment, was never treated and was quietly, subtly ignored and eventually forgotten -- that is NOT the way gunshot trauma reduce in the real world.

IT'S AN ARNOLD MOVIE! EVEN MORE SO, IT'S A FUCKING MOVIE! THAT'S....GONNA....FUCKING....HAPPEN!!!!!!! Be more concerned if people even reload!

man walking through flames unharmed, at least twice

Apparently, Arnold no-selling in his own fashion goes against the Church.

"Satan Rules" on t-shirt of street punk

WTF?! That was one of the funniest parts! Satan kills one of his own for being a dick! The irony was completely lost on this guy...

"miraculous" healing on Satan

He's Satan. A Fallen Angel. But he's not allowed to have any powers! WTF.

[Sokar]

This one blew me away, they are talking about the costuming of "Last of the Mohicans" , one ov my favorite films.

Though not necessarily a sexual movie, there were many, many scenes of exposure of the flesh of the posterior of the Native Americans. Though this might have been the way of life of the Native American, some "truths" are best left untold. Even if the partial nudity was shown for the sake of "accuracy", the actors presenting their backsides for pay before 200 million viewers is sinful.

..........need I say more
