One bit of advice for all of you DUers...
Don't watch the documentary Jesus Camp while drunk.

The alcohol magnifies the freak-out factor.

2. Guess I'll never, ever, never get to watch it then!
not that I could have anyway. Just the pics of the wild eyed, brainwashed children was enough to cause me nightmares.

3. It's an important film, though.
Know thy enemy and all that.

I hope this film beats out An Inconvienent Truth for the Oscar.

6. I hope so.
An Inconvenient Truth has really spotty pacing. Both in terms of long boring stretches, (anytime the focus switches from global warming to Al Gore it's naptime) and in terms of devoting the bulk of the movie to the problem with barely an afterthought devoted to potential solutions.

4. From what I've seen in clips,
I doubt I could get through 15 minutes without erupting a shower of obscenities as if I were speaking in tongues.

5. I've already done so...
I would like to see a bonus audio track featuring commentary done by Lewis Black.

7. Oh, I love Lew
He should be President. That would scare the hell out of... everybody, I think. OBL would I think just give up.

"Well, shit, I can't compete with HIM!!!!"

8. I'm afraid that Jesus Camp would make his head explode from the sheer inanity.
Some of those things the people are saying, especailly the adults in this film... really makes my brain hurt.

9. OK, just hit the bit with the kids praying to the * cutout...
I have to take this film in bits in order to keep myself sane.


Someone please tell me that APA members working on the DSM V are watching this film and taking notes. I swear, these people have to have some sort of psych disorder.

These people are sick. They need treatment.
