Is it at least 3D? I wanna see the prow of the ark sticking it to the audience.
:dubious:
How do they make Noah out to be the hero? Because in the trailers it showed the army of vaguely dirty-looking people out to be villains trying to kill Noah and his family, but nothing else really villainous. And if that’s all I totally support the villains. I mean, visions from God or not, Noah is committing the greatest genocide in history by refusing to let other people on the boat. I’d kill him too.
You’re supposed to know all and see all.
You let me go out there
And bring in a pregnant elephant,
You give me no manual for delivery or nuthin’,
Never told me the thing was pregnant.
There’s good old Noah waitin’ underneath the elephant there.
Brrrrroooooooooom
Right on top of good old Noah.
Sick and tired of this mess here.
Had enough all this stuff
For you runnin’ around.
You’re supposed to know all and see all
Like I said before.
You let me go out there and do all this stuff here.
You never even looked in the bottom of that Ark.
Have you looked down there?
No?
Who’s gonna clean up that mess down there?
Not me!
Indeed. I don’t know if it sounds stupid, because I typically don’t understand spoken english in videos.
But…fireballs in a movie about Noah? WTF??
Also, there isn’t a single animal in the trailer.
I actually played the Bill Cosby Noah for my Sunday School class, second and third graders. They thought it was terrific.
I’m telling you what I’m going to do.
I’m letting all these animals out
Then I’m gonna burn down this ark
and then I’m moving to Florida or something because
You haven’t done nothin’ and
It’s raining.
All right Lord, me and you.
“If you liked 300, and you liked Titanic, you’ll love Noah”
Well, maybe they’re right.
Uh… unless I’m forgetting something, isn’t not speaking the name of God an old-school Judaic thing? As in, referring to him as the ‘Creator’ is a way to refer to him without actually using his name, and thereby more respectful and accurate than just coming out and saying “God”?
Then again, Sean Hannity is a cretin of the lowest order, so I’m not surprised.
I’ve read some reviews on Reddit that make this movie sound pretty fucking awesome.
This is a pretty in-depth review by a user there.It contains a lot of spoilers but also will give you a good idea of what this movie is like.
78% total and 90% Cream of the Crop today with 101 reviews and 31 reviews respectively.
Yes, and there’s a current thread on SDMB about not even writing it, but instead writing “G-d.”
I really didn’t understand why Hannity and his pals thought “God” was so important, since it’s a very generic term, that could even apply to Greek or Norse gods. A more specific name would be Jehovah, or more accurately, Yahweh.
In the book of Exodus, God tells Moses that he didn’t reveal his true name to the patriarchs. Genesis uses several different terms for God. My personal favorite is “El Shaddai,” which to me sounds like a Mexican bandit.
There’s a list of a dozen or so more Jewish terms for God here:
I think I’ll wait for the ‘reboot’ - I wanna see Noah with twin machine guns at his hips.
*The Fountain *may be the third-worst film ever made. Wretched almost beyond belief!

God: Noah?
Noah: WHAT!?!
God: How long can you tread water?
Kills me every time.
Awesome.

Noah, you have two males there. Your going to have to take one back.
I’m not taking nothin’ back! You CHANGE one of 'em!
Well god damn… you certainly changed my mind.
:dubious:
And after all, no gal will give in to no man what’s 900 years.
Great film actually. Felt like the sort of epic movie Aronofsky wanted to originally make with The Fountain (which ultimately became a much smaller, tighter film).
I’d put it this way:
He made a wonderful fantasy tale by using a lot of the connective tissue of Genesis then told it on a very earthy, gritty, human level.
There’s a good story, great pacing, and yes, risks taken depicting the Watchers (but in context, it worked for me). But even by making stars and nebulas visible in the daytime sky, and the beautiful telling of the creation story semi-reconciled with the Big Bang and evolution, it made the story and setting feel much closer to Creation and God. Epic as LotR, ponderous as The Fountain, and even had some of the pathos and the ‘search for God’ that Pi did.
No double anus dildos that I saw, though
And yes, we get:
Drunk, naked Noah and a cameo of a dinodog.
