Evolution is my line in the sand; I am super tolerant of all kinds of religious crap but if you don't believe in evolution I have no use for you. Done. Be gone.

They do have a point though, because Jennifer Connolly could have only come directly from God's vagina.

Belonsky, the movie is called Creation. While On the Origin of Species is an excellent read, it hasn't been up for an award in Toronto any time recently.

Sorry, but I don't really buy the idea that creationists are blocking this movie from distribution in the U.S. For one thing, the markets to which Creation would be aimed toward (urban, college-educated) are pretty clearly THE EXACT OPPOSITE of those markets where the the film would be poorly received (amongst troglodytes).

From what I've heard, Creation is, plain and simple, a boring movie.

It seems to me like its producers are just manufacturing the controversy (rather adroitly, but still) in order to raise its profile enough to secure a U.S. distributor. As is, the whole situation is pretty stupid.

@Plawf: It does indeed seem odd that U.S. distributors would capitulate to the Christianistas on this. I agree this is more likely an attempt to create "buzz."

Either way, though, Americans are still getting more retarded by the minute.

@Plawf: Sounds about right. On the other hand, I have a hard time believing that a "really good" movie about evolution and natural selection would be well received in a society with as much of an anti-intellectual lean as ours (Planet Earth and March of the Penguins, notwithstanding).

@Plawf: I agree that this smells of "buzz", but I also could see that in the current political climate, the big movie houses might be scared to go near it and some of this could be an effort to promote risk.

@Plawf: Yeah, this seemed a bit fishy to me when I first read it. As much as I want to champion any struggle against ignorance, I just can't believe that no smaller distributors are willing to pick this film up for a limited release in major cities, which happens with arthouse films all the time. If I were a betting woman, I'd bet that the producers are trying to shame a major distributor into picking it up for a wide release, for reasons that may have as much to do with mammon as with principle. Or they're just trying to get as much publicity as they can.

I believe in evolution, and I like Paul Bettany, but I have an irrational hatred of Jennifer Connelly that knows no bounds. I'm having a hard time getting outraged.

The Casey Wilson anecdote is absurd--first of all, the woman is far from fat. There was nothing about her size that made her unpleasant to watch. There was, however, something about her acting, so I'm not really sure why her axing needs an excuse.

If it's true, it's ridiculous that Casey Wilson got canned because someone thought she was "overweight." She has a nice body, I wouldn't put it past Lorne Michaels.

Come to think of it, Lorne probably gave Michaela Watkins the boot because she was slightly older than the majority of the cast. You know Lorne's stupid saying when he's not feeling sure about the show, "When in doubt, go young..."

@Smitros: I mourn the day that hot-and-curvy Jennifer Connelly got the Hollywood message that "serious" actresses have to be wafer thin and uber-emo. (And then won an Oscar after she did it. Sigh.)

I kind of want to move to Brooklyn but my parents (who grew up there) are insisting I move back to Manhattan. I write "back" because that's where I was born. Since I'm young and still sort of dependent on them, they get a say but how about my say?! I'll be paying for almost all of it so I want to pay less by living in Brooklyn but they say I'll pay a ton to commute every day and such. What are everyone's thoughts on Williamsburg?!

@Renata Halpern: Industrial, but young. Over-priced, and a lot of apt's are not in very good shape. All in all, pass. Fort Green is hot, Greenpoint gives a lot of sq. ft. for your buck, Prospect Heights has the same brownstone charm as Park Slope but slightly cheaper. Kensington and off of Ocean Ave, even larger spaces, but you're getting far out there on the train. Basically, the farther away from Manhattan, the cheaper it gets.

I say go for it. When you see how much further your dollar goes, and the kind of space you can get, you'll be hooked. Not to mention it's beauty and char, which it has a lot of. The coolest people live in Brooklyn (ahem, self-servingly raises hand).

Oh, and for the die hard Manhattanites on here, you're so right: the B&T crowd IS horrible. It's such an ordeal to sit on a train. Please, stay where you are!!

I'm sure the abundance of converted barns and stables in the West Village is just making her nervous - I'm sure Matthew would hate for her to startle and bolt.
