I agree with the feelings of fuck no, not again, but I like the director a lot and he make this more than it appears.

"And I never quite understood the "Its jut a movie" comment. Granted.. it is highly unlikely that any ONE movie is going to forever alter anyone's thinking. But what does that MEAN? If a movie was released tomorrow that powerfully, dangerously promoted racism, should we all yawn and say "Ah - its just a movie"? If a movie was released tomorrow that promoted abuse of women, or touted the glories of Nazi Germany, or which celebrated the notion of slavery, should we warn people not to criticize, or to keep their opinions to themselves? I don't think so. " ....and I don't understand why poeople who think a movie trashes their beliefs have to mobilize an army of criticism so they can feel confident about themselves and those beliefs. If I think a movie is going to promote racism or a nazi belief system or the abuse of women I just won't go see it. I won't try and instigate campaigns against other seeing it though. I'm not saying you personally would do these things but I'd like to think we're less of the sheep we behave like at times and can make up our own minds. Christian groups around the country were using the Narnia movie to bolster Christian beliefs in kids with special church screenings etc. I bet you didn't hear one shout from anybody about how dare they from non-Christians. After all it's only a movie and for this athiest one of my favorite childhood books. P.S Those 5 minutes looked just fine. The kids weren't annoying (much more important than Christian/Non-Christian allegory's to me). I might go see this.

Except next week is another remake of a movie. Assault on precinct 13. The good guy and the bad guy work together to fight off the bigger threat on the outside of a confined environment. This will make it three in a row for gimmicksville. Granted I think they they turned the groundhog day one around with the repeated shorter cuts to Dean's demise, very funny, but....it's still smacks of laziness and gets old.
