Kingsman's trailer made it look like a PG-13 YA spy movie, not an R-rated graphic novel inspired violence fest that killed our first black president as a joke. Still pretty entertaining, but I bet some people were quite surprised around the time someone got cut in half.

It's definitely a movie that works better when your expectations have been managed. I thought there would be very little monster action because of all the "ONLY 11 MINUTES OF GODZILLA WTF" posts, but the Mutos were trashing quite a few cities on their own, so it wasn't boring.
I think it all depends on what your kids are scared of. I remember Megamind implied that the main character had reduced the hero to a skeleton, but that didn't bother my nephews half as much as the witch in Brave.

They threw in a 'shit' in there just to get it rated PG, I think.
Don't worry, he's just in a coma kids!
Words are cheaper?
I feel like he already played Shkreli when he did the Hobgoblin in the Spiderman movies.
Ah, so Hitch 2 is finally getting made then?
If you're ever more curious, Misquoting Jesus by Bart Ehrman really tears into Gospel authorship in a very interesting way, and provides an apt way to disillusion Christians that don't get that explained to them in church.
It's pretty amazing. Especially since it's not the normal way these things happen… normally you cover these things after the internet spreads it around a lot, rather than present it to the world as a new thing.
Practically, what really happened was that there were two branches of early Christians, the Jewish-Christians converts lead by John and Peter that kept the old laws, and the Gentile Christian converts lead by Paul who didn't. Paul came up with a variety of justifications to appeal to Gentile converts, and that's the…
