Liep

It Might Get Loud.

What happens when you put three guitar legends into the same room? Jimmy Page, the Edge and Jack White. One remembers his past glory, one is sentimental about how he started (as he's basically finished now) and one rocks. Oh, and then a bad cover of The Band - The Weight.

All in all, an interesting documentary that peaks in the intro.

Ok, 'Noah' was the most annoying film I've seen in the last 2-3 years.  <_<

Romeo and Juliet(1936)- needs more dancing Puerto Ricans.

Prometheus

Pro-ID religious crap.  Not worth the time I spent watching this.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

I admit Prometheus was a crappy movie, but religious?  :huh:

It doesn't have to come out of an iron age book to be religious clap trap.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I don't know any major religions that believe we were created by aliens.

Well, colour me puzzled. What exactly was religious about this movie?

Presumably that life on this planet was created by aliens.  This doesn't strike me as religious, though it does strike me as unlikely.  Essentially a secular version of intelligent design.  I suppose such a thing could be possible in a strictly materialist world view.  In a sense, it's happened here on earth with selective breeding of animals and plants and with genetic engineering.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

That's a straight-up science fiction notion. It isn't as if these aliens are depicted as angelic (or even nice) or anything.  :lol:
