Don't care.
I'm going to see it anyway.

stargazer101		2007-04-05 03:24:40 PM

Insta green!

robsul82		2007-04-05 03:25:33 PM

Yes! My first green after my break from TF, only 20 minutes or so after coming back. Excellent.

CtrlAltDelete		2007-04-05 03:50:17 PM

So is that what the plague movie is called?

I forgot.

I saw trailers for it but it looked kind of dull.

muninsfire		2007-04-05 03:55:51 PM

CtrlAltDelete: So is that what the plague movie is called?

Yeah, apparently. There's some billboards around town, but it doesn't look that interesting.

corgic		2007-04-05 04:04:16 PM

I saw it on Monday. It was better than I'd have thought. It was creepy,and engaging for the first hour or so, but the last 15 minutes are quite possibly the worst in cinematic history

occrider		2007-04-05 04:05:06 PM

It's got a whopping 6% on rottentomatoes. It's rather funny to read through some of the other reviews:

-If Moses was in the theater, he'd stand up ... and demand, 'Let these people go.'

-The only way The Reaping could be worse would be if Swank put on a bear suit and ran through the woods.

-If you turn away from God and do not repent, God will kill you. You will die. The end.

robsul82		2007-04-05 04:07:05 PM

BEES! NO, NOT THE BEES! YOU BIATCHES! OHHHHHHHHH, MY LEGS! NO, NO BEES! PLEASE! OHHHHHHHH, MY EYES!

muninsfire		2007-04-05 04:09:20 PM

occrider: -If you turn away from God and do not repent, God will kill you. You will die. The end.

It's probably aimed at the same market as that "Left Behind" stuff. Which is a pretty good business decision if you want to make a fairly steady amount of money, but not if you're going for a blockbuster.

/Had an idea the other day: they have Christian Rock, right? So why not Christian Death Metal? Except stick some major chords at the end, and call it "Rebirth Metal"--betcha it'd sell like crazy to all the fundie kids who want to feel 'cool'.

Tastes Like Chicken		2007-04-05 04:26:36 PM

Hah! This movie looks terrible.

I came to this thread to see if anyone had posted that it was all a Liberal Hollywood Machine Conspiracy to marginalize Christians.

Come on folks, get ON that!

SmoothTex		2007-04-05 04:40:12 PM

I can't believe anyone hasn't said the obvious.

It was all a Liberal Hollywood Machine Conspiracy to marginalize Christians.

It's so obvious!

//puts on tinfoil hat.

gilgigamesh		2007-04-05 04:42:39 PM

This movie is like a self parody.

They should have called it "The Reapening" instead. Then I'd go see it.

Tastes Like Chicken		2007-04-05 04:42:48 PM

Thanks SmoothTex! I knew I could count on you.

Tastes Like Chicken		2007-04-05 04:43:40 PM

Hilary Swank's Esquire pictorial was stunning.

corgic		2007-04-05 04:59:26 PM

gilgigamesh: They should have called it "The Reapening" instead. Then I'd go see it.

That's what I call it whenever I'm describing it to people. A much more appropriate title to be sure.

nobozo		2007-04-05 06:32:00 PM

The Grim Reapening works too.

gilgigamesh		2007-04-05 06:40:08 PM

Don't fear the Reapener.

muninsfire		2007-04-05 06:42:58 PM

gilgigamesh: Don't fear the Reapener.

Well, seasons don't fear the Reapener--nor do the winds, the sun and the rain.

We could be like them.

/This movie needs more cowbell.

CravenMorehead		2007-04-05 07:04:13 PM

Probably needs more cowbell.

Oldiron_79		2007-04-05 07:04:52 PM

HA HA

robotvoodoopower		2007-04-05 07:07:43 PM

u gonna get reaped?

FeedTheCollapse		2007-04-05 07:07:59 PM

occrider: -The only way The Reaping could be worse would be if Swank put on a bear suit and ran through the woods.
Awesome!

Surely "The Core" was much worse than the Next Karate Kid.

/The Black Dahlia was awful too.

Dinkbreath		2007-04-05 07:08:45 PM

do not want Reapairing
I want see that straight punch that broke her nose in Baby. Farking awesome scene. loved the expression on her face when that punch popped her. and how she backed up doing the Rat-face tryin to shake it off. Awesome

HotWingConspiracy		2007-04-05 07:08:57 PM

Gonna be huge in the south.

elminestrone		2007-04-05 07:10:42 PM

this movie needs more Reapinicity!

Jument		2007-04-05 07:11:17 PM

Movies like this are why cheap front projectors and Netflix exist.

Combat Medici		2007-04-05 07:11:34 PM

So, Yahweh is like Freddy Krueger now?

shawn82		2007-04-05 07:14:39 PM

Just imagine Elmer Fudd reaping Daffy Duck.

enkindle		2007-04-05 07:14:51 PM

I'm still going to see it. Reviews said 300 was brilliant. I don't trust them anymore.

Pink4Flower		2007-04-05 07:15:17 PM

You know, I actually thought it looked pretty good. But then again, I also thought the exorcism of emily rose looked good. That review was awesome though, I LOL'd

skinink		2007-04-05 07:15:38 PM

Maybe they can combine this movie with "Grindhouse" and call it a triple feature.

Hopefully I'll be seeing Grindhouse tommorow. Jordan Ladd, Rose McGowan and Carla Gugino in the same movie. I think I might make love to the movie screen...

Owangotang		2007-04-05 07:15:42 PM

Ya know with Easter right around the corner I think they should have gone with "The Peepening".

RadioactiveApe		2007-04-05 07:17:20 PM

kraut7		2007-04-05 07:17:43 PM

Who the fark cares, Grindhouse comes out tomorrow.

Bootysama		2007-04-05 07:17:50 PM

muninsfire: So why not Christian Death Metal?

Sorry buddy, there already is Christian Death Metal

chaddsfarkprefect		2007-04-05 07:20:03 PM

I just saw a commercial for "Are we there yet?" and to quote one of the greats on an SNL appearance, "Wowie wow wow wow."

muninsfire		2007-04-05 07:20:04 PM

Bootysama: Sorry buddy, there already is Christian Death Metal

Aw, shiat.

Alright, then: Christian Punk.

That should make for some pretty hardcore body piercings.

I think you mean Porky Pig and Elmer Fudd. Carlin: "Hey, why do you think they call him Porky, eh?"

And when I saw the movie posters, this was the first thing I thought of:

Owangotang: Ya know with Easter right around the corner I think they should have gone with "The Peepening".

Or maybe, based on the reviews, "The Weepening."

D-Liver		2007-04-05 07:20:53 PM

YOU GONNA GIT REAPED

Newbaca		2007-04-05 07:21:17 PM

Does it make me gay if I wanted to see this because it has Stringer Bell in it? He's like black Walken. Ahh damnit, it does look like crap.

dj_relish		2007-04-05 07:22:56 PM

There is Christian Death Metal. Check out Burial, Undeceived and Invocation. Not that I've heard any of these bands. Just heard of them.

Pickerel		2007-04-05 07:23:13 PM

gilgigamesh: Don't fear the Reapener.

/Bill and Ted approve

Trip Downward		2007-04-05 07:23:22 PM

Did you see the picture in the review? She looks like Dennis Quaid with a wig.

Operation Bacon		2007-04-05 07:23:42 PM

The Redeadining.

Baby Buttoneyes is coming to get you.

la la la la

You're a Mean Drunk R2D2		2007-04-05 07:24:07 PM

Then they could have a prequel called "The Sowening"

Son of Thunder		2007-04-05 07:24:25 PM

-If Moses was in the theater, he'd stand up ... and demand, 'Let these people go.'

That's gold, Jerry! Gold!

Yeah, I just heard. Christian Punk would be promising, though, what with the extreme body piercings...

caamando		2007-04-05 07:25:46 PM

she has a tendency to do one good movie then one shiatty one.
boys dont cry(where she won an award for portraying a transvestite), then the Core,
million dollar baby (for portraying a quadriplegic), then this shiat.
