Well it wasn't a very good book so I doubt that it would be a very good movie. This is suppose to be big summer blockbuster??? Xmen3 will kick its butt.

Yes..Ian has had a bit of fun these past few days.
I notice he doesn't poke fun at Islam in a similar fashion. The muslims are harder on homosexuality than christians are.
I wonder why he isn't making snide remarks about Islam? Hmmm.....I wonder.

I have 2 guesses

1. He is afraid he would get blown up.

2. Satan is more intrested in attacking Christianity. The Devil is a big fan of Islam.

"I haven't read the book, but I just thought there was a ridiculous amount of exposition,"

I'm trying to read the book- currently about 70% finished - and the book has a ridiculous amount of exposition as well. Pages of plodding dialogue discussing the Holy Grail, Mary Magdalene etc. All very tedious. Normally I wouldn't read such a dull book but I thought I should know what everyone was talking about. Turns out not much.

"1. He is afraid he would get blown up. "

hee hee! yes - exactly.
So while these "brave" actors feel so self important in exercising their free speech to bash christianity -they seem strangely cowardly when it comes to Islam don't they?

They know Christians will not drive a UHaul truck full of bombs into the Popcorn stand.

"There's no question that the film is likely to be upsetting to some people. My advice is ... to not go and see the movie if you think you're going to be upset."

If it's anything like the book it will be upsetting to those people who enjoy a good story, with interesting characters, speaking believable dialogue and involved in suspenseful situations. It's a thriller without thrills.

I wonder how long I'll have to wait for Opie to make a film about the beautiful love story between Muhammed and his 9 yr. old wife?

I think Sir Miss Ian is a disgusting old queen, but he was awesome as Gandalf, IMO.

LOL..old queen.

Yeah, I dunno. I didn't like him so "sloppy" for want of a better word. Hair in his face, dirty, ragged. There was something too human about him...Gandalf being very otherwordly to my reading. But that's just IMHO. :)

Wait a week and then look at the numbers.

It should do well enough at the opening weekend. It really doesn't have much competition in the new releases. MI III will still be selling some tickets.

Memorial Day is a couple of weeks away. If it really is as clunky as some critics are saying there should be a sharp drop off after the opening weekend.

The Fox reviewer loved it.

Yes. One of my colleagues at work emailed it to me, I had to look. What a sycophant.
