>>Just do something else with family and friends besides watching any recent or new movies. We attend the movies about every 2 years or so. Last movie we saw was "The Passion of the Christ", and, before that, it was "Black Hawk Down". We plan to see "Flight 93".
So go see Flight 93 THIS week if you plan to see it. Boost the box office of a competing film. That'll sink TDVC even lower in the relative rankings. Keep the films you support in the top 10. Doesn't mean you should go to see it several times but if you already plan to see it, go now. And if you like what you see, encourage your friends to go (word of mouth).

Nice headline, but it's taken out of context a bit. It does take faith to believe the bible, so on that he is right. (Everyone has faith in someone or something. The only difference between any of us is who or what is the object of our faith.)
Also, he's not saying the movie is true, so he's right on that as well.

Comments like this will result in a major

They wouldn't be conducting a series of interviews with the filmmakers and cast if they weren't pimping the film.Yup, I've never seen actors and directors with a movie coming out doing press on talk shows before. Must be a conspiracy.

Goebbles would be proud of such propaganda coming from the Hollyweird.Nonsense, Leni Reifenstahl (sp?) wouldn't have let these propaganda pikers anywhere near a lens--on either side. I do not agree with the content of "Triumph of the Will" but as propaganda, it is a benchmark these snobs fall far short of.

I have not read the book and probably won't see the movie, but my wife has read the book. We were discussing this claim about Jesus having married and having children. To me this would not, if true, detract from His divinity in the least, and would frankly go even further in showing His fully human side. Part of being human is knowing the joys, frustrations and sorrows of marriage and parenthood. I believe the scriptures say, "He was in every way tempted as we are, yet without sin." I am no Bible scholar (but I am trying), but at least some of the assertions made in the Code, if they were true, would not shatter my faith.Seriously, a lot a people seemed confused about Jesus' mission on earth. He did not come to earth "to see what it was like to be human". He would not have needed to go through the joys of marriage, parenthood, children, etc. Remember, Jesus (according to mainstream Christian belief) IS God. He would not have needed to live among His own creation to "see what it was like". He would not have been tempted by His own creation.
The reason He came to earth was to live a perfect life so as to be the Passover Lamb so He could die for the sins of His people. The temptations by Satan were not important in that Jesus was tempted, but that they revealed to Satan that Jesus was God.
He also did not live a perfect life "to show us it could be done". No one but Christ was capable of living such a life. It was necessary for Him to live a perfect life in order to be the perfect, sinless sacrificial lamb.
"God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might bcome the righteousness of God". (2 Corinthians 5:21.)

This from an over the hill faggot that thinks having a 19 year old boyfriend is normal?
If the bible needs a disclaimer, so does this piece of trash film.

"McKellen, an open homosexual, has also said he always physically removes the passages from Leviticus that offend him .... from this work of fiction that is often found in hotel rooms!"
Rev 18-19:
I warn everyone who hears the prophetic words in this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if anyone takes away from the words in this prophetic book, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city described in this book.
God does not like to be tested. This fella has chosen his path. I'll pray for his repentance.

Yep. He did look good as Gandalf. Be nice if he was as good as Gandalf. But actors are hollow shells in a way. One reason they make such lousy heros.
