Darwin film may have found a US distributor
It is only in the United States that there has been resistance to the movie by the religious right.

1. We need to organize huge watch parties like there were for that Mel
Gibson movie, sorry I can't remember the name. That would be cool.

4. The movie doesn't sound very good.
It's basically a story contrived from an illusory conflict between Darwin and his wife set against the backdrop of his daughter's ghost convincing Darwin to write Origin

2. This looks excellent!
I want to see this film.

I hope it is distributed widely in the US.

My kitty who died last March was named Darwin,
to honor the father of evolution.

Somehow many cats in my family end up with
very noble names.( Kepler, Galileo,etc)

7. It just happened that way.
Thanks!

My stepfather, a physicist, started naming
our cats with names from famous scientists/
explorers when I was younger and it stuck!

It's now a family tradition.

6. I'm sorry, but this whole thing was a publicity stunt.
