Bill Maher’s Religulous
(click for larger poster images)
Well, I saw Bill Maher & Larry Charles‘ Religulous yesterday afternoon… and while it was the third weekend in theaters, there were more people in attendance than the opening weekend of Expelled (same theater in Eugene, same time of day). Hmmm…
Anyway, funny funny funny movie. Of course, considering the subject matter, there’s a wealth of comedic opportunity. While it is primarily making fun of religion by talking down at its followers; well, there are some good points made. Obviously, I’m biased, though… I like Bill Maher, and I tend to side with him in many areas. Meh… sue me.
Check it out if it’s playing near you, or when it hits the DVD shelves.
If you like Bill Maher, you can get his HBO show Real Time for free as a podcast… check it out here (iTunes link).

Fox News has nothing better to talk about than magazine touch-ups, as they are effectively on the wrong side on the issues when it comes to the constituents… might as well talk about magazine close-ups of former beauty queens:
