Well, if part of the argument against religion is that it can cause injustices or Bad Things, then pointing out that it it hardly unique in this regard seems to me to be a perfectly valid place to go. Humans do dumb shit all the time.

It must be said there are a lot of boring parts. But the KJV is filled with awesome language. I also think if you dislike religion then its a lot harder to accept even the good stuff as such.

I thought "The Apostle" was very good. Duval's character was both a sincere and compelling evangelist and a nasty sinner.

The Gulag? Pol Pot? United Fruit? Big Oil? Slavery? Lynching, Jim Crow, the Rape of Nanking? I can do this all day too. That dcotor who suggested physicians should wash their hands before delivering babies and who died crazy because his peers laughed at him? Canadians(Canadians!) rioting because their hockey team…

Better doesn't mean it's good.

Crescent Hawks Revenge. You'll need an emulator, though.

I firmly believe that the % of quality movies has not changed much over the decades. But in the old days, the lame shit was at least original*, if only because they lacked 75+ years of visual media to remake from.

@Scrawler, whoops, I didn't quite get that distinction.

And I was sixteen. So, yeah.

Scrawler, they did that with Nero Wolfe TV series. The characters who change from story to story were always played by the same set of actors.

Err, are we talking Blaxploitation or sexploitation here?

No love for Ben Hur? Ten Commandments?

As a guy who grew up in a small town and used to haunt the mall Waldenbooks whenever we would make the trek to the "city", the opening of a Borders near me in Houston (where I moved post college) was just about the most awesome thing ever.
