I was going to joke that the Ark theme park should just kickstarter it, but they did the bond equivalent of just that.  Young Freud posted:Ham's blaming it on "atheist disruptions" but we know the real reason, he just didn't pray enough. Actually, the reason they can't build it is Obamacare. Letter to investors posted:In large part because of AiG’s [Answers in Genesis’] strong biblical stand against the Obamacare legislation’s mandated coverage of abortion-causing drugs, AiG pursued a change in the Ark Encounter funding structure that now includes a bond investment opportunity for you to consider.

There's one of these things in West Virginia that I pass by every time I visit my relatives there. It's just some billboard on the side of the road saying "Noah's Ark Being Rebuilt Here!" with some metal poles in the shape of a boat. It's got to have been there for at least 20 years by now; I'm not sure why it hasn't been torn down yet.

Coffee And Pie posted:If anyone right now can come close to Murphy's career, it's probably Donald Glover. He's a talented writer/actor with a few great standup specials, a fantastic run on Community, and a music career that I think will age better than Party All The Time. This is assuming he can successfully make the leap to film, which I think he can. Man are you trolling me. Glover doesn't have 1% of Murphy's talent or charisma. Peak Eddie Murphy would make you laugh until you were crying and he was so magnetic that he was barely out of his teens when he was the only reason people were watching SNL and starring in hit movie after hit movie to boot. The guy was a phenomenon. Donald glover's an unfunny 30 year old who makes bad music, always talks about how depressed he is and perpetually looks like he ran out of shea butter.

Is Divergent actually a good novel or is it just Hunger Games + Twilight = YA monies? The trailer looks like orange-filtered barf. It got screams and applause from a full house when I saw it attached to The Hunger Games double-feature.

Regarding Noah; I've posted about this before, but seeing as discussion keeps happening and little bits of what I reported get repeated I might as well do so again. Basically last March-ish I worked for a small film festival dedicated to films about faith. One of the guest speakers was from a company who liaisons between religious groups and production companies, so when you hear reports of people disliking Noah he's the one who takes those reports back to the people in charge. To everyone's surprised he had brought an INCOMPLETE cut of Noah. Now because I was part of the crew and, I suspect, because of the small audience (only around 20 or 30) I never signed any disclosure agreement. The first two acts of the film roughly follow the story as laid out in the bible, with some minor differences from my understanding of it; firstly the village that Noah lives near attacks him to claim possession of the Ark and nearly succeed, so Noah seeks the help of angel half-breeds. These are CGI creations that look half Lord of the Rings Cave Troll and half Guillermo Del Toro style monster. They are good guys and act as the security guards of the Ark. Other things of note in this half are brief flashes of the war in heaven and an encounter with a pure blood angel, which is basically a massive monster with multiple wings, thousands of eyes and several heads - pretty cool design but the CGI was nowhere near finished. A lot of the bigger sections in this where still animated storyboards. The third act is entirely on the Ark, with Noah and his family held having been overthrown by the villagers and the Ark in their hands. Eventually Noah gets free and, having realized God isn't listening anymore and having seen awful things done to his family by the villagers he decides to just straight up murder everyone. He frees some of the predators on the Ark (all of the animals by the way are CGI, and are designed to look like less evolved modern animals and dinosaurs; theirs a couple of featured ones that are basically massive tigers and velociraptors; again cool designs but unfinished CGI) and improvises some weapons for finishing off the rest. The one thing I thought was kind of weird is that the village Noah left runs on oil and Noah decided to take his family and move because he didn't agree with the villagers mining the Earth, but it's such a minor (if heavy handed) plot point that I can over look. Basically though it's actually a loving awesome film and I really, really don't think any of the content is particularly out of place (unlike in Sunshine). None, how much of this remains intact is anyone's guess - mine would be not much of it. It's pretty gory, very expensive looking and really dark once everyone is on the Ark. I don't expect to ever see this cut of the film again though.

Maybe Noah notices some gay unicorns and decides not to let them on the ark as a consequence, and then is overcome by deep regret once on the ark?

That actually seems pretty drat conventional compared to what we all originally understood "Noah decides to kill everyone" to mean. The villagers weren't meant to be on the Ark to begin with, so honestly, it's kinda Noah's job to kill them. They were supposed to be wiped out by the flood, otherwise the whole story is an exercise in futility. When it sounded like the third act was going to be "Noah tries to kill his family", then that's some serious Last Temptation of Christ poo poo, where it can be understood in a way that's theologically conventional, but is guaranteed to raise hackles anyway.

turtlecrunch posted:Is Divergent actually a good novel or is it just Hunger Games + Twilight = YA monies? In my view, no, it's yet another half-baked distopian setting, given a paper thin plot, and told poorly. If I was twelve I'd probably like it because it's simple and exciting. If you found The Hunger Games to be weak then you'll probably find Divergent to be even weaker. (BTW, that "if I was twelve" thing isn't an insult. I know I'm not the target audience and I could tell that it was something the target audience would eat up.) The details of that Noah plot are interesting since it's only theologically objectionable in the broadest sense (which I think we were all suspecting would be the case). I bet that if we saw that cut there would still be a lot of angry people about it but thematically it fits nicely with the original story. Well, except the ecological message which sounds incredibly clumsy but I'd want to see it before judging.

While it's probably just riding the YA dystopian crazy, I'm kind of excited for the adaptation of The Giver coming out later this year. Jeff Bridges as the Giver, along with Meryl Streep, Alexander Skarsgard, Katie Holmes, and Taylor Swift (who probably won't be a great actress, but could be a pleasant surprise).

You might say he needed to use that joke as quickly as possible. Also, NFS is supposed to have a gimped production budget of $66 million (compared to Fast and Furious at $85 and the latest FF at $160). What this probably means is that more interesting and expensive cars won't be shown, which kind of undermines the whole adaptation angle that the title is supposed to suggest.
