Glenn Beck Saw ‘Noah’ Over the Weekend, and He’s Calling It the ‘Babylonian Chainsaw Massacre’
The Blaze ^ | 3/24/2014 | Erica Ritz

Glenn Beck was invited to see “Noah” by an executive vice president of Paramount Pictures over the weekend, who requested that the multimedia personality see the movie before taking a position on it with his audience.

“I felt like kind of a dirtball, basing my review on something that I hadn’t seen, on someone else’s review,” Beck said on radio Monday. “That’s what people do to me. They don’t listen or watch, then they review. It was wrong of me to do.”

Unfortunately — though Beck said everyone at Paramount was extremely gracious — he has only more words of warning for his audience after sitting through the entire epic.

“The review made it sound like this was a godless climate change movie,” Beck said. “I believe that it is not a godless climate change movie. It’s more take ‘Sinbad the Sailor’ meets ‘The Shining’ and ‘Friday the 13th,’ with a sprinkle of ‘Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.’”

Beck said strongly: “If you are looking for a biblical movie, this is definitely not it … It’s not the story of Noah that I was hoping for. If you are going for that, you will be horribly disappointed.”

Among the specific scenes Beck took issue with, he referenced the “giant rock people” that sprung up to help Noah with his tasks.

Rock People?
Are they related to the creepy Clay People we saw as kids in the Buck Rogers serials on Saturday matinees?

The clay people were in the Flash Gordon series, not Buck Rogers. You have the wrong Saturday matinee, methinks.

Re: She’s not quite Sussana Hoffs but WB!

Gadzooks, Impy! Who-- Or what... is a Sussana Hoffs?

Googled her and she... was is an American vocalist, guitarist and actress. She is best known as a member of The Bangles.

Gadzooks! Who--- Or what... are The Bangles?

Must be an 80s "Walk... Like an Egyptian" thing--

CHI: The Western Conference is stacked; that’s their biggest obstacle.

BOS: I’ll agree. Just hope they aren’t peaking too early.

Cabrera/MLB: 100% agree; these deals are albatrosses. The only one that I’d say came close to working out was Manny Ramirez, $160/8 years. Of course he took his “vitamins” and had a violent streak.

Islands: I’d be happy with a cabana on any of these islands.

Re: WB

Okay, okay-- What is... 'WB' and just what does it mean?

She’s 55 and looks great for her age. A lot better some much younger women who are aging rapidly due to excessive drinking/smoking/drug use/tanning.

I’ve dubbed her the anti-Lindsay Lohan.

WB = I would like know her, biblically. In a completely respectful manner, of course.
