that is the way it is packaged. i thought the same thing when i bought it.

dude......... this movie is by far the most disturbing movie i have seen.


great great funny film though.


very nice







what¿?

you do realize that the flick is really a brit making fun of muslims right? not that it makes it right, but...

John thank you for sharing pluggedin's review. That is not the point of this post. You are taking it to a spiritual discussion. I am asking about the cover.

After doing some research I have discovered that yes, it is supposed to look like a pirated dvd.

I should probably keep my yap shut, but this bothered me enough that I gotta say something.

This is the "Chill Out" forum, Chris, where "TF" stands for "Threadjack Frequently". I won't go so far as to say that the majority of threads in this forum have OT posts in them, but a ton do. John's is better than a lot because his post is at least partially related to your original post. Also, d-dub had already provided your answer before John made his post. You'd gotten what you wanted out of the thread before John said anything, so what's the big deal?

What disturbed me more though is whipping out the "spiritual discussion" card to shut John up. In this forum, I've seen lots of people give their opinions about movies, both good and bad. It's been okay for someone to say that they liked a movie for "non-spiritual" and "spiritual" reasons and that they disliked a movie for "non-spiritual" reasons. However, your reply to John would make it seem that, if someone dislikes a movie for "spiritual" reasons, suddenly it's a "spiritual discussion".

If John had used the male-on-male nude wrestling scene complete with genital-to-face mash ups as his reason for not wanting to see the movie, would he have gotten the "SD" slap? My guess is not. However, when his reason is that the movie is irreverent and blasphemous and makes a mockery of salvation and Jesus Christ, he's essentially told to shut up.

There is just something terrible wrong with that picture.

I'm not trying to beat you up, Chris. You're a good guy. This just really bothered me.

 


So we shouldn't play/listen to non Christian music then? j/k j/k... Now that would be a spiritual discussion that has probably been replicated many a time on this forum.

But we should be careful what we watch/listen to/read. We shouldn't be dangling our roots in a dirty river flowing from sin, but the never failing stream flowing from God.

While I do agree that some secular media can be harmless, I agree with others in that this movie is not fitting entertainment for a Christian according to Biblical guidelines.
The Bible is pretty obvious about conviction to keep our thoughts on that which is worthy and that includes what we allow in our choice of entertainment. If you disagree, I think you should read this http://www.ch-of-christ.beaverton.or.us/Our_Speech.htm.

According to the Bible it not only matters if we participate in sinful behavior, but also if we approve of those who do (i.e. watching, promoting or buying a movie with pervasive, crude and grotesque sexual content and language.) I do not wish to condemn you, but to encourage you that there are far better forms of entertainment (secular and Christian) with which you can fill your mind without engaging in such worldly and sinful humor.

Chris, sorry for misreading the tone and intent of your post. I understand now what you were trying to do (and avoid).

I've come to realize that this particular movie is kind of a touchy topic for me. I am amazed at the number of Christians who have seen it and who have really liked it. Every "positive" review or comment I've heard about it goes along the lines of "it's completely gross, insulting, and offensive, but it was funny, so you should go see it."

Anyway, I'll shut up now....
