*Risen*

Religious 4 Comments

I worry that this trailer gives away too much, but probably on balance it will goad more of you into watching the movie.

This is a surprisingly good movie. It was not the cheesy, preachy kind of “Christian” film. It had good acting (especially the lead role) and did a good job of making the Resurrection into a dramatic mystery.

So, if you are vaguely interested but need a nudge, I’m giving the nudge.

    You can’t compare the utility lost by one person by having the movie spoiled to the utility of the other person who got the benefits of watching the movie. Read Rothbard.

      No, Bob meant that in an extremely narrow technical sense, with no implications for observable reality.

      He’s still gonna correct the dickens out of you *as if* it mattered though…

    Rotten Tomatoes quite likes it. Apparently “It’s pointed about how we treat today’s zealots, as when Clavius likens the pain of crucification to “sucking air through a wet cloth” – a description of waterboarding.”
    That can’t be an accidental reference.

    LA times called it CSI:Jesus.
