You see hoss I am a Southerner born and bred. And the movie is doing quite well in the Bible Belt.

In North America, Noah played to Aronofsky’s fans and upscale moviegoers on the one hand, and on the other, to Christian audiences, particularly in southern states. Noah is also doing sizeable business among Catholic Hispanics, and African-Americans. In general, the movie drew an equal number of females and males, while skewing older (54 percent of ticket buyers were over the age of 25).
Well ... hoss ... it ain’t going well with the Southern Christians that I know. Perhaps you’re associating with those “Christians in name only” crowd.
There have always been these “Christians in name only” group in the South, because of the strength of Christianity in the South. That meant that those who didn’t truly believe, had to PRETEND TO BELIEVE or they would be ostracized.
You’re mixing with the wrong crowd - those who only give “lip-service” to God and His Word.
What I see is you argue like my Teamster/UAW/Progressive relatives. When confronted in an argument you try to deflect and misdirect. In the interest of full disclosure I'm the “Blacksheep” of the family. I joined the military to get out of liberal-ville and later became a Conservative Christian. I'm an embarrassment to the family; when friends ask about me they say ran off to Louisiana to play piano in a New Orleans bordello.
I believe this movie's initial success is due to misinformed, hopeful, high expectations. People expected a Bible-based movie and ended up with a “Golden Compass.”
You didn't tell me, how do I get a job shilling for movies on conservative webpages and how much does it pay?
Americans are a population ripe for another Caesar.
Bread and circuses.
They are too ignorant and stupid to even realize when they are being flim-flammed. And Hollyweird Flim Flams with nearly every picture they put out.
