Religulous

I was hoping to go tonight, but the lady works 'til 10, so I might hit up a matinee tomorrow.

I went yesterday. It is so fucking funny. This movie is a comedy first and foremost and that’s what it delivers. Straight up laughs start to finish. I thought it would be a whole lot more serious in nature, but they are just making fun of religion the way that Taladega Nights makes fun of Nascar or American Pie makes fun of teenage sex. It’s just there’s never been a comedy really (other than Dogma, which really wasn’t very funny) that was based on Religion and they pull it off brilliantly. I can see how it might be offensive as those other movies I mentioned above might be as well, but the theatre was comprised of geriatrics and college students mostly and both got just as many laughs at various points in the movie. I’m giving it 5 jesus fish out of 5.

THAT’S the issue.

They are NOT what they say they are.
They have become something completely different.

Take a look around, the republican “brand” is really in trouble.
True Conservatives have been saying this for the last 4-6 years when the started to realize that the boy from Texas was changing their party.
They are gonna continue to lose seats in both houses this election and really have no identity.

And if Palin is the future of this party,…well,…god help us all.

They need one of those extreme makeovers, otherwise they will become a part of history like the Whig party.

That being said: Go see Religulous!

LOL. I’ve been making fun of my Mom a lot about this very thing since she’s a big Dubya supporter and a staunch Republican. I keep asking her how she likes her boy Dubya now being a Democrat since this whole bailout thing is a totally liberal concept. As always, she blames the Liberal Congress for the whole thing. I love it.
