I looked for where Star Traveler posted to you, but I didn't find it.
Did someone else preach at you on a different thread? Do you have the right thread?
Yeah ... the very same ones that fawned over the Dan Brown books made into movies.
“The people who get their biblical views from the movie are the same people who get their news from late night comedy shows.”
Two thumbs up on your opinion.
Hand me a thousand dollars right now to go see that movie ... I would hand it right back at you! You actually couldn’t pay me to go see it. It would be like paying me to listen to Obama give a speech ... either in person or by video ... I wouldn’t do it!
Thus far I’ve NEVER ONCE listened to a single speech from Obama. Ask me what Obama is all about and I can tell you. I don’t have to listen to a single speech from him to do that ... and I’ll guarantee you, I never will.
The same thing applies to LIARS in the Hollywood movie industry who LIE TO THE PUBLIC to get them in there ... just to listen to their propaganda! No PROPAGANDA for me from Obama or from this LYING ATHEIST DIRECTOR who tries to tell me that an “atheist” can actually tell the truth about that account in the Bible.
Obama and that director are CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH!
Here’s what I said elsewhere ...
I don’t mind science fiction movies, as long as they’re not trying to tell me that this is actually what is going on ... LOL ...
Here’s what the producers of the movie were saying before it came out ...
“The pre-release advertising promoting the movie Noah made a point of stating that while the director took artistic license in the production it was still faithful to the biblical story.” [ ... ]
The producers tried to keep these details secret from the faith-based public in order to not have a backlash from negative reviews that would affect the all important opening weekend box office. I learned about some of these details last year from a French graphic novel (which I was shown in Germany) upon which the film’s script was based.
As far as I know this was not translated or released to the English-speaking market, presumably to prevent these fictional elements from getting out to the faith-based American audience. Now, the secret is out and it is hoped that informed audiences will, like Noah in the film, judge this parody of the biblical account, unworthy of cinematic salvation.

Oh and PS - Noah speaks with an English accent. Now how cool is that?
woops! truth is at least as strange as fiction.
Really? The first time I ever heard Noah he sounded just like Bill Cosby.
Oh and PS - Noah speaks with an English accent. Now how cool is that? Almost like Picard from Star Trek who grew up on a French vineyard farm speaking with an English accent.
Ya, heard that. Funniest thing ever!
I guess he doesn’t want me to post things he doesn’t like ... LOL ...
Oddly enough, I didn't see where he posted to you either.....
And if you wish to get anal about it, I can't seem to find where I posted to you either.........
You've been around here as long as I have so you know how threads and postings work.
If that's all you've got to say then chill out..........
I am more interested in pics of Helen Thomas in her undies than in seeing this movie.
If such pics of Ms Thomas exist, please do not post them.
mini-review-—
Aronofsky’s decision to include big special effects-laden battle scenes is curious at best and disastrous at worst. These sequences, presumably included to make the film more visually spectacular, lapse into lethargy because there’s no real sense of tension or danger. We know Noah is going to get the ark underway. We don’t care about any of the CGI characters involved. It’s just eye candy. This raises larger questions about the pacing. At 138 minutes, Noah is too long; there are stretches when it drags.
Russell Crowe provides a fascinating interpretation of the title character. Every other depiction I have encountered of Noah presents him as a humble, pious man. Crowe’s Noah is a warrior. He kills more than his share of the unrighteous. He is intractable in his belief that humanity has earned its fate. And, when the journey is over and the ark has come to rest in the purified world, he is overcome by despair. Irrespective of whether or not the character of Noah is being used as a commentary on modern-day religious zealots who believe they have a monopoly on “the truth,” it’s a fascinating and unconventional interpretation of an iconic individual.
Yep, been around long enough to know that sometimes folks accidentally jump threads or post to the wrong people.
So, does that mean that you think the guy posting the thread had somehow targeted YOU???
Although I've never seen it and probably never will, The Gospel According to St. Matthew, produced in 1964 by Pier Paolo Passolini, a Communist, might give Noah a run for its money.
They have spent millions in advertising the BS meter is needed.
Not at all......I thought I was responding to his initial comment.........where did I go wrong?
More importantly, where do you get off thinking I did????????
You're now going off on a tangent bro, one that's now wasting our time..........
Heck! I just thought he was off his meds. I wouldn’t want to get on a guy’s case who was off his meds ... it might send him “off the deep end” and then I would feel really bad ... :-) ...
"As far as I know..."
Ahhhhhh, the truth comes out! You now admit that you haven't even seen it.............
Don't even waste my time from here on out.........
Get on the “clue-train here ... don’t bother clicking on my links and you won’t have a problem.
Next time you click on my link ... I’ll know I’m dealing with an idiot.
