I haven't seen it but in all honesty it's the type of movie I'd rather wait till it came out on DVD first or something, I don't want to sound like a wimpy atheist (as I am one of those ones that gets into frequent arguments with friends and family about it all) but whenever I go to the movies (which is rare now) it's usually for a big blockbuster hit that will make my head explode or something, as much as I wanted to see Religulous I also had to realize that no one else wanted to go see it with me hahahaha.

I really wish it was playing in green bay at all.  I forget how red my state is sometimes. 

I'm probably one of the few atheists that didn't think it was that great of a movie.  The very begining and very end of the movie were great and I had kind of expected that the whole movie would have been similar to those two segments.

Whenever I view any video that is atheistic in nature I try to watch it from the theists point of view mostly as a thought experiment.  Try and see where they might object or where atheist get things just plain wrong (we aren't all perfect.)  I found this movie to be funny at many points but if I were a theist I would see this movie as a joke.  Maher just interviewed a bunch of crazy people and completely mangled the interviews in post-production.

I would much rather have seen a film where the interviews were taken serioulsy and he very easily dismantled every argument presented, while also showing how dangerous these beleifs can be.  It seemed that instead his plan was to just find as many crazy people as he could and make them look dumber than they already are and then make fun of them for it.  This movie could have been a lot better, I think Maher missed a great oppotunity to actually help the atheists cause.

I wouldn't be surprised if it showed at Cine', actually.  They're showing a Werner Herzog documentary about Antarctica this weekend.  Religulous should at least match the audience for something like that.  Hell, if they pick the Georgia/Florida game weekend to show it, they'll probably do excellent business, given how few of the kids are around.

Don't get me wrong, I'll be watching the game too.  Still, the town's damn near empty by about 6 PM on the Thursday before.  

It looks funny, like the kind of movie I'd see while relaxing and eating dinner. It doesn't look amazing or anything, but I'd see it for entertainment value.

I just got back from watching this movie, and it's a damn good thing I did enjoy it or it would have made for a horrendous afternoon. The movie itself I found quite entertaining. Not hilariously funny (although some parts are) but a well-made documentary in which Bill poses real questions and only asks for honest answers in return. I don't think there was too much in the movie that I hadn't heard before, but it's very entertaining to hear different religious folks discussing this stuff in their own terms - and never coming up with completely satisfactory answers. And at the end Bill has a nice overall statement to sum things up: it is us that will destroy ourselves if anything, and not some all-powerful god.

I drove for an hour to get to the theater - it's only playing in one location around here - and then waited nearly another full hour of sitting through technical difficulties with the projection equipment before they finally started the film. There were three others in the early afternoon matinee when I sat down, and by the time the film started everyone else had left, so I got the entire theatre to myself. The cinema manager made his apologies and gave me a free admission to another movie, and yes I was stubborn enough to sit through 45 minutes of technical difficulties to watch this movie. If I hadn't drove all the way across town an hour each way just to see this movie, I might not have been as stubborn.

I could have just as easily waited for this to come out on DVD. I probably get out to the big screen maybe once or twice a year at most, so all in all this was a memorable and enjoyable experience. All's well that ends well, so they say.

From the "Made for TV Movie"

Bob: come on, baby... I can get it up... keep trying... keep trying...

Shirley: I'm trying, honey, but why did you want me to cut my hair so short... you know I'm over the butch thing...

Bob: Um.... it...um.... looks ... um..... anyway, keep sucking baby... 

Shirley: Maybe if you just went down on me once in a while, I could have one too... and why do you only get it up for me when we do it doggystyle?

I just saw it. As a movie, eh...? My guess is he got the funding, put together the production crew, traveled to all the places he thought he would get some good matieral and it wasn't very good at all. So he pieced together the best of a bad lot of footage and added filler. He didn't get in any of the good one-liners that are his usual comedy shtick.

For the movie buff, you can play name the movie with all the 2-5 second clips he uses. I would also guess that has something to do with fair use. But if you don't try to guess a very few of them are the only laughs in the movie besides some footage from his old stand up routines. Perhaps my problems was expecting humor to be the venue of insights. It definitely was not.

The footage inside the Dome of the Rock was only the second I have seen. With all the believers saying there was a Jewish temple in the same place one would expect the ommission of mention of a rock inside the Jewish temple would be significant to them. But Maher didn't mention it.

I thought most of the movie was very well done. What I was disappointed in was where they tried to compare Jesus, to Osiris, and Mithra. To say Jesus wasn't really born on December 25th is not even a point since the gospels don't mention the exact date. Christians chose that date so they could have a celebration on the same day as the Winter Solstice. The pagan parallels are a bit overblown since many of them are not too strong. There are many badly researched books out there that have been condemned by credible scholars like Richard Carrier, and Bart Ehrman. I would like to have seen what would happen if Bill asked them to define what a god is. Most of the movie was very entertaining. Keep in mind, it is a comedy with social commentary thrown in.

It was a comical way of telling americans, and others, to start thinking about what they believe. the arguments maher presented weren't anything new, however hopefully it will encourage more critique of religious dogma.
