This is not satire, although it reads almost like something from Landover.

Didn't want to read through all that crap. Aren't those people the same jerks that give horrible reviews to pretty much every popular movie ever made, saying they're "blasphemous" and whatnot? Pricky bastards.

I've actually spent hours reading the CAPAlert reviews of movies. They're pretty hilarious. American Psycho is the only (I think) movie to have scored 0/100. Just one more reason that movie is awesome.
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'

Man that was STUPID!

As you browse through their, incredibly stupid, site please note how they continously try to sell you stuff (non-profit my ass). Is it just me or are fundies and creationists always selling something?

Well it makes sense to use fundies and creationist to sell stupid products, because no one else would be stupid enough to buy them. The non profit bit is just to avoid tax.

Read half of it and gave up, because it was just a load of nonsensical drivel.

Or "you're all going to burn in hell if you don't do exactly what we say," which doesn't sound quite as nice but is a completely accurate description of their attitude.

Hey, I use the capalert site to check out all movies I want to go see. The lower the rating, I figure the more entertaining the movie. :D

I remember that I read the review for The Fast and the Furious at a Christian review site. I just remember them being pretty racist and assuming that the villains were Chinese just because they were Asian. Despite, them not being played by Chinese actors, them not having Chinese names in the movie, and them not even really looking Chinese.

hey, good christians dont watch these kind of movie. how do they know that all that stuff happens in them. i guess there´s either one or more hypocrites or one or more of them sacrifice their soul to save the others. that would be noble.
would the soul of this sacrificed soul be something like the jesus among the souls?

Yes, they are quite funny. A an example of their idiocy, I'd reccomend this link:

http://www.capalert.com/capreports/bugslife98.htm

Also, check out these quotes from their "Ice Age" review:
An eye for an eye" as justification for revenge
story foundation in the theory of evolution
I'm sure they'd consider it too innapropriate if a couple was sleeping in different rooms.

Check out the review of Nemesis (and also the high-pitched nasal whine about Trek) on this page. Note that the highest-ranked film in terms of "acceptability to God" is Insurrection: I'm sure this says something.

Oh yeah, and when you're looking at American Psycho's score of 0, you should consider the other ones that are unscored because he walked out. Those include Belly, The Bird Cage, Bulletproof, Bulworth, Jacka: The Movie, The Last Days, Matilda, and Solaris (to be fair he says he dozed off during Solaris, not walked out.) You read that right: one of the films that was just too horrible for him to sit and watch all the way through (The Last Days) was a Holocaust documentarty. One of his reviews (I'm not going to go back and look up which, because my sanity is failing before the onslaught) even assigns a final score to a movie that by his own admission he only watched an hour of. Incidently, the other film with a 0 rating is Scary Movie. There's another on there somewhere that earned a 2.

Clearly the man has some voyeuristic attraction to watching films like American Psycho, and feels compelled by guilt to cover it up by sitting there proclaiming to the world what a horrible assault on his senses it was.

Funny that they failed to notice the destruction of an entire planet in Star Wars: A New Hope but listed the alien "monsters" in the cantina as "violence"...
