Plus, come on. The bible is a historical artifact, created over hundreds of years by lots of people. Jesus isn't. There are really no records of anything he did. MLK has film footage of him.

While that seems unlikely, on the other hand there are people here that seem to see *everything*.

I watched the first three Left Behind movies, and by the end I felt sorry for them, like watching a three-legged dog trying to climb stairs. They were so needy, so desperate to be liked, and utterly confused about their own dogma. They were convinced they were on the right side, but deep down didn't want anyone to be

You wouldn't have been in so much trouble had it been a Manwich.

Evidence doesn't either. If this review makes you a screaming paranoid, uh, it actually didn't.

I remember a class on evolution, where the teach started with that there are three coherent concepts of where life on earth came from: Created by a higher power, traveled from another place or from the ocean. His class was about the latter, and if you needed the answer to be a different one, you were in the wrong

Their Reagan is now a completely made-up person. Why not MLK?

Ugh, "pasta" that isn't semolina noodles. Making me feel old and grumpy.

But think of how many locals will hope you get to heaven if you get struck by lightning?

High school? They should have gone all the way to kindergarten, with angry atheist 5-year-olds being all mean and angry with their Christian school-mates. The adults would scream talking points they don't understand back and forth anyway, and none of the child actors would show the vaguest understanding about what is

The whole Purge concept is that deep down, we're all willing murderers and it's only fear of punishment that keeps us from doing so. It's a stupid premise. Now, if you put real work into it and imply that our society, though lack of opportunity, nepotism at the top and a slowly eroding environment and infrastructure

Huh; that's a good point.

Yeah, other than to piss the audience off, what was that for? To explain why there was no public space program in an economy that wouldn't gave given such any value?

Plus, do profilers actually go out alone into the field to profile? I assumed they sat in their cube and periodically spoke p in meetings saying things like "I'm confident we can rule out Luchadors, California longshoremen and gay gym rats. Pretty confident."

Yeah, the job I'm talking about I did because someone had to and I was the most recent hire. It wasn't organized, and we didn't have an 800 number in the first place so you had to put some work into finding us in the pre-Googe days at all. But if the role was bigger and standardized I'm sure there would have been

Hey, now. In the beginning they were just off-brand X-Men who argued and pouted a whole lot.

So like Funny or Die, but honest?

Wizards always seem like such assholes in executive summaries, never teaching kids what they want, looking down on non-wizards, always with the rivalries and infighting. You'd think they'd bee too bust studying to do anything dramatic.

Test audiences are good for "are these jokes landing" or "do people seem to be confused by this plot point" or "does the tacked-on romantic subplot make the lead more relatable"? Using it to actually change plot points, rather than massage them, seems like a great way to make a lot of bad, bad decisions.

Huh, I thought that was my point. But this script seems to think some profiler guy was the key, not Dave. Hell, Dave's story sounds like it would be a good one if done right. Knowing that if you don't give your brother up to the feds they're not going to stop him and people will die, but if you do they're so
