Sodom and Gomorrah: the Movie

The BBQ Pit
21

Aw nuts. At first glance, I thought this was going to be some awesome epic about Sodom and Gomorrah, complete with shouts of “We want to KNOW those men!!” and fire and brimstone raining down on the Cities of the Plain. Instead it sounds like an episode of Seventh Heaven written by Jerry Falwell. Although the actor playing Pastor Raymond looks to be pretty hot, so maybe this movie won’t be so bad after all…

And why do I think that the audience for this film will be a healthy mix of Christian fundamentalists and camp-lovin’ gay guys?

22

Yes. shudder

Why do they write “f*gs”? Is it like the way we write “Og,” or the way Jews write “G-d”?

Are they worried about conjuring up a real live fag by speaking the sacred word?

23

I thought you had to say it three times in front of a very tastefully arranged mirror to do that.

24

<snerk>

25

No, that only brings the Candyman. :eek:

26

I’m guessing there’s an automatic censoring feature built into the board software, and thus it won’t let them write “fags”.

27

Didn’t you know that God hates figs?

28

The synopsis reads like a porno flick. I like the real story a Lot better. :slight_smile:

29

Actually, the following verse is quoted on the site:

“Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.”

If that were the basis for the movie, it might be worth seeing.

Anastasios Filactou: I’d tap that.

31

I like how she’s overexposed to the point of being a bespectacled white blob with hair for the sake of the random black guy next to her.

32

I like their tagline :slight_smile:

33

I like the flames shooting up from all the links. Can we do that here?

(Yeah, one of the posts I read from a “Guest” flaming {hee hee} the film had all its naughty bits removed and replaced by innocuous terms. “This film is nuts. You guys are all not very nice persons.” started out as “This film is shit. You guys are assholes.” to paraphrase.)

34

Wait, is he in the Sodom movie? 'Cause he’s real purty . . .

35

The synopsis reads like the back cover of a trashy romance novel:

36

OK. I’ll bite. Why were those cities destroyed? (I am not Christian, and haven’t read the Bible.)

37

My Whooshdar is going off. If this is a real movie, I’d almost bet money this is a parody of Fundie movies.
No mention of personal faith or testimonies or anything in the Cast/Crew except for a generic reference to the Creator of All.

Oh yeah- and on the Bible passages page- they spelt Ezekiel wrong.

Speaking of Ezekiel, in the interest of full disclosure, this is the Ezekiel passage copied & pasted from the site- complete with the misspelling

*Ezekial 16:49-50

[49] Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

[50] And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.*

Most Biblicists would include the homosexuality in V 50’s “abomination” category.

One of Sodom’s sins was sexual violence, straight or gay- female-guised angels wouldn’t have been safe out at night either. Conversely, if the Sodom’s gay community has strolled over to invite the male angels for a night of disco & anal sex, and then has peacefully strolled away when they were refused- I doubt the Nuking would have happened.

38

A nuclear blast would be deemed a perfect ending in a movie like this. Ed Wood would be proud.

39

Posted too soon, I meant to say that:

A nuclear blast would be deemed a perfect ending by the fundamentalists in a movie like this. Ed Wood would be proud.

IIRC, Sodom’s destruction was triggered when the men in the city wanted to buttfuck the Son of God without properly greeting him first and it all went downhill from there. Dunno about Gamorrah.
