People know. They don't admit it to themselves quite yet, but there is a groundswell in this country, and people sense that something is wrong. And it's not just the US. It's the EU and it's Russia and China too. Everywhere.
For the record: I think it's all much, much worse than anyone can imagine, and I think the superstructure of society will inevitably collapse. I see massive debt default, the end of the nation state, and the rise of small, weak governments in all corners of the globe. In many respects, it will be a Dark Age. But there will be some possibility that the chaos will allow a rebirth of freedom.
I'm actually expecting all of that to be forestalled by the Second Coming, but no man can predict that hour, so in the absence of the return of Jesus, I say we're in for a bumpy ride.
Saw Noah. No mention of God punishing man for sin. ‘The Creator’ punished man for misusing the earth. The film had rock transformers throwing lightning bolts. I think Al Gore wrote the screenplay. It is a laughable film.
Watching “Turn” on AMC now. So far so good.
Gotta love the resistance.
I don’t see a big problem here. Generally, when Hollywood takes on a Bible story, there’s going to be a lot of “made-up stuff” to fill in 90 or 120 minutes of film. And it’s not going to be good.
I’d rather see Capt. America, a known fantasy, than Noah which would be borderline blasphemy.
how that commie scumbag redford got in the movie is beyond me...I hope to see it next weekend with my son, who will be coming home from Marines boot camp.
Another frigging superhero movie huh?
I HATE FRIGGING SUPERHERO MOVIES!
ARGH!!!!!
Since there were so many threads about “Noah” last week, here is some follow-up info: its box office take fell between 61 and 64 % compared to its opening weekend last weekend.
That drop marks “Noah” as an official box office flop. It will play for a few more weeks, but it needs to make $350 million to show a profit. This weekend’s returns say that number is out of reach.
Some Industry types will say it’s not a flop, only a “disappointment,” meaning it’s not going to lose as much money as last year’s “Lone Ranger.” That’s arguable, but the bottom line is everyone lost money on “Noah,” and there won’t be a Noah 2 in the works.
I was shocked to see the “government” adopting 20 million people to ensure power. (ala Obama’s weather underground radicals)
Damn good flick and my kids loved it.The message is right on too.
I guess it just goes to show that people prefer a fantasy that makes them feel good, not one about eco rage.
Noah will sink from here on out.
Good! I hope “Noah” tanks from here on out.
I am looking forward to Captain America. We will take our boys with us for a family “date”. :^)
