What's wrong[edit]

What's wrong with Chronicles of Narnia? I liked that movie. --AKjeldsen^Godspeed! 04:15, 23 August 2007 (CDT)

It was a movie based on a book, therefore it is inherently bad. Come to think of it, I can think of few movies based on books that do the books justice..... (But perhaps that's due to the fact that it's 3:18A.M.) Locke ^{Always Watching......} 04:19, 23 August 2007 (CDT)

The Bourne Trilogy? --AKjeldsen^Godspeed! 04:33, 23 August 2007 (CDT)

The Bourne Trilogy is definitely one of the exceptions. Locke ^{Always Watching......} 04:35, 23 August 2007 (CDT)

The Princess Bride --Kels 06:50, 23 August 2007 (CDT)

I thought the Lord of the Rings movies were pretty good. (Possibly MORE entertaining than the books. Tolkien was a genius worldbuilder, but a so-so writer....) --Gulik 12:59, 23 August 2007 (CDT)

True, true. --AKjeldsen^Godspeed! 13:15, 23 August 2007 (CDT)

The Wizard of Oz is the epitome of the film that supercedes the success of the book. I also though Hunt for Red October translated quite well onto the screen Stile4aly 01:36, 12 November 2007 (EST)

Anyway, my point by bringing up the other examples was not the movies themselves, but rather the marketing schemes. I should make that clearer. The Motive company only handles marketing not content. They are a big fan of "grass roots" and "viral" campaigns in the "faith based" community. If you remember the collective orgasm all the right wing evangelicals and their websites and spokepeople were having over the Chronicles of Narnia then you know what to expect over expelled. tmtoulouse ^persecute 13:21, 23 August 2007 (CDT)

Quote mining Darwin[edit]

Hi, first time user here. If I remember correctly (I saw the film quite a while ago), Stein quote mines Darwin. As far as I can remember, he makes it sound as if Darwin was advocating eugenics in On the Origin of Species when, in truth, Darwin did no such thing. Maybe this should be mentioned in the article. Hell, maybe I'll do it as a first-time project. Sartorius (talk) 05:55, 8 April 2011 (UTC)Sartorius

Go for it. I haven't seen it so I can't comment but it certainly sounds like the sort of thing the creationist ID crowd like to do. --Damo ^Hi 06:02, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Bankrupt[edit]

Sighted on Pharyngula this evening. That is all. 66.189.117.133 (talk) 03:40, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Cool. Now all we need is George Soros to shell out the funds for us liberals to own that part of the media, too! Lord of Reckless Noise ^{Hooray! I'm helping!} 04:38, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Article rating change[edit]

Given our critera and a going over by myself, I'd like to nominate this for "Silver" status. Any objections? Lord of Reckless Noise ^{Hooray! I'm helping!} 10:33, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

What the fuck is Stein wearing?[edit]

Seriously. Shorts and a tie? --JorisEnter (talk) 00:14, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Crossroads[edit]

Does this refer to the non-Bates motel? (The most likely UK response) 82.44.143.26 (talk) 18:09, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
