Bruce Almighty

[tqpix]

Some people might not be pleased by the movie's contents, but if you just forget about the things that you might find offensive (like swearing and blasphemy), it is a pretty good movie.  Some dull scenes, but very funny.  I found the ending to be very moving, and it taught me a few things like praying for others and not blaming God for anything that goes wrong in my life (not that I blamed God for anything).

Synopsis:  Jim Carrey stars as Bruce Nolan who is unsatisfied with his job and his life. He believes that God is intentionally making his life miserable and that he can do a better job of running the world.  God shows him the error in his thinking by giving him powers.

There was a lot I didn't like.

I believe it would be a major sin, to waste my money on such a movie.

I thought that movie was wretched & Im disappointed I even turned my ears into it. When you say if you forget the movie with the swearing & blasphemy, its a good movie, Any movie with that swearing & more importantly blasphemy-how can that be good??? Especially when its content has to deal with the Lord?? I dunno, thats my point of view.
Regardless that it had a minature point & good lesson @ the end, the movie was in a sense a whole joke about God & Christianity as a whole.
Hey, Im definately not a "goody goody" & Higher then thou, I absolutely love to joke & laugh and what have you, but I also take the Lord My God seriously and I think too often we put the Lord on our level. We just look at him as "One of the guys" and bring him on the level of this DISGUSTING world. To me thats a little scary. He is SO much more then "one of the guys" and someone to laugh with about making a dog go pee in the toilet & giving a girl bigger boobs. I don't know, I just am not into that.
Spending all that $$$ on the movie, I would have liked it to bring a message of salvataion to ppl. Im not sure this movie did anything but get a good laugh off of God.
Again, thats just my thoughts on it.

Well, I remimber reading a book once about how God came down and became "one of the guys" so to speak, just to save this "DISGUSTING world" we live in. Guess he didn't think it was TOO disgusting Now what was that book...?

I left the word "gonstic" out of the post cause I like you. Factoid: You know, some Gnostic groups hated the world so much, they said Jesus never really was a human with a human body They believed he was only a ghost, or a prejection, because the world is to evil for him to have been a part of.

There goes the Thnikkaman...

Perhaps I chose my words wrong, but you missed my point because I see where that post was going, but that is not what I meant. It is just how I feel. I wasn't trying to imply God shouldnt mix in with us. My feelings are I wouldnt take God into the bar to have a few drinks & maybe a smoke just because it is what I like to do but say Oh God understands because he needs to be here with sinners....I just dont look @ God that way. Thats all.
Didnt mean to get all *Whatever* about it.

I get what you are saying. We are to be set apart, we are not to be like the world. We should not mimic the world. Like how I'm aganst Rock Praise and stuff. However, the world is not "evil."

And what is wrong with smoking?

Whats right with it? lol.
Ya know I get onto my gf's all the time about smoking, I am a nag about it. Seriously, I can see how difficult it is to quit. From a non smokers view it seems like they should be able to stop anytime, but smokes are very addictive. It took hubby almost 13 years & pockets full of gum and candy, lol

Hey Tibby, sometimes its fun to agree on disagreeing isnt it?Besides, you have a pretty nice demeaner about ya, Unlike some forums where you just voice your opinon & some people just blatantly attack you personally & likewise. I hate that
And reading your Like & dislikes made me giggle so how can I be angry with ya? Hehehe
