Religulous

[Geo]

I am a Bill Maher fan. I am a fan of provocative films. Bill Maher has a new provocative film out called Religulous...

Go figure that the nearest theater showing his film is Tallahassee (EDIT: followed by New Orleans)...



Anyone care to comment (honestly) on why that is?

Religious. I am religious about correct spelling.

Hehe..tell Bill Maher, Geo spelled it like the movie's title.

Well it says the area is comprised of a majority of Christians--some of whom may be offended, and there may, frankly, not be the audience to support it. I think it is that simple, pure economics. I don't think there would be any mass demonstations and picketing though.
I was amazed that Brokeback Mountain made it to Destin (but Destin seems to be getting a bit more sophisticated).

Challenging peoples faith in NW Florida is like challenging their political ideology. It would be like Muslims suddenly embracing Christianity--yes, could happen, but not likely in our lifetime. Live and let live.

PS: I would go though--Bill Maher is amazing!

I defer to BB's grandmother when it comes to movies, too: No religion, politics, or sex.

derived from the words "religion" and "ridiculous"

i doubt Geo would misspell the word religious.

I've been curious about this film as well. Should spark some interesting conversations.

The easiest way to watch movies like this one in our area is to rent them when the DVD is released...and you might have to request it. Even then, you might get turned down by some rental stores. I find Movies by the Sea to be a little more accomodating in this respect.

Geo, it is on a limited release - even in Chicago. I sort of doubt it has anything to do with it being the Bible belt down by you. Since it's a "Michael Moore" -ish type film, the powers that be want to wait and see before releasing it more broadly.
