Few authorities on Christianity believe that the Bible is the 'True 100% Undeniable Word of God'. Only fundie nutters and atheists seems to think that stuff like Genesis is meant to be factual.

Oh, the 'so-called' comment was a clunky way of differentiating those who make faith films from other film-makers, no aspersions cast on anyone's level of belief.

Thing is that films with religious themes can still work because empathy and morality are such broad and universal themes. The issue is that so-called Christian film-makers (and I differentiate them from film-makers who happen to be Christian) are usually the kind of folks to have reactionary views and prefer the…

That was a deliberate paraphrasing, yup.

It's pretty weird how Hollywood went decades making films that had strong Christian themes and were really well made and moving even to a secular audience, but now Christian films are all about alienating those who don't share your beliefs and hokey stories that would have seemed played out in a TV movie decades ago.

An anaesthetised, lounge singer version of Jimmy Somerville?

Oh yeah, that's mid-point at the very latest, if I remember correctly.

I thought the climax was where they try to get revenge on him for what happened in the game of chicken and kill the wrong guy?

I think 'sociopath' is considered to be a defunct term and generally synonymous with 'psychopath'. I think the favouring of 'sociopath' to describe people has only become popular because of the extremely negative connotations that 'psychopath' entails.

I honestly feel like there isn't a huge amount of republican sentiment at the moment because Liz II is a generally decent person and doesn't write stupid editorials or stick her nose in. Also she's been around forever so not many people remember a time without her (even fewer if you count the fact she was a visible…

Innocence isn't really something you want and I'm sure kids probably don't know they have it. In fact that is what puts them in a state of innocence, really. In retrospect your desire to be grown up probably seems innocent in and of itself.

True, there is something wonderful in the simplicity of the Dylan version and it is a brilliant closing track.

I'd say Them's version is the best cover. In fact, I kind of prefer it to Dylan's version.

That's a very sad way of looking at the world, Bleurgh.

I think Huisman is great and his Daario is actually a good character, but Skrein definitely had the douchey surf-bro vibe of the book Daario down…

Well, we can imagine because Eminem exists…

It's almost like braggadocio has been a part of R 'n' B for like over 60 years…

Oh good Lord, there isn't classism in calling out 'nice guys'. It's not a case of being someone who's 'respectful' but hasn't got any money, it's a case of guys expecting reward for exhibiting the merest sign of human decency. There's no superficiality in wanting someone to treat you like a human being and not a…

It's the obvious Mountain Goats one for sure, but, man, hearing 'This Year' for the first time…

Well… that would mean technically Hank Snow was.
