I saw "Religulous" last night....and the scene with the Ex-Gay Ministries guy....

..... had me rolling up and down the aisle. I bursted out into laughter just typing this post.

Anyone else see it?

1. Haven't seen it yet but your comment makes me want to

run right out and see it!
I'm so curious: what transpired? what was said?

3. I don't want to ruin it for you.....but Bill Maher is interviewing the Ex-Gay guy.....

.... who asserts that no one is really gay, and so-called gay people are really very unhappy people who've started this life of perversion to escape their sadness. ..... The film then cuts to scenes of people dancing and having a good time at gay pride parades.
Then it cuts back to the interview, and Maher argues with him, telling him that some people are just born gay, pissing off the ex-Gay dude to the point where he wants to end the interview. Maher calms him down, then tells him that if he didn't know who he was, he would just assume he was gay, because of how neat and well-groomed he is, which elicits a blank stare from the ex-Gay dude.
Words don't do it justice.....you've got to see it.

10. And the "ex-gay" guy surely was stiff as my dead uncle

... a trmendous movie! I saw it last night, too. Maher just nailed the conclusion, too. The theatre was dead silent at the end. Haunting.
Oh, and to my sister-in-law: go fuck your jesus.

2. "An American Carol" vs "Religulous"

It will be interesting to see which comes away with the best draw, biggest gross and reviews.

5. Wow it's true

There are such comparisons between the two movie takes.

6. According to boxofficemojo.com......The estimated grosses thru Sat.

for Religulous was $1.12 million and An American Carol was $1.2 million

BUT

Religulous is only playing on 500 screens.....An American Carol is on 1,600, meaning it's a huge flop.

7. I won't be spun that way by the Lords and Baron's media.

8. Considering that most Wing things

Are in three groupings:

1) Those into theaters the first days to have their world View affirmation, with few repeat viewers.

2) Cheapskate Super-rich not bothering to venture into riffraff "movie houses" instead waiting for the DVD.

3) Naive normal people who regretted seeing the clunker and hastily and heartily spread the word it sucks.

Meaning, the first few days will be "Carol's." It may not get out of the single digit millions $ gross.

4. I saw a clip of the film. Maher is raggedly dressed on a street in London and yelling at the

crowd. He's telling them of the beliefs of Scientology and all of the people thinks he's nuts!!! It was hysterical and I can't wait to see it!!!

9. Makes me think of this...
