Film Early Warning: What Would Jesus Buy?

Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Thu, Nov 15 at 2:31 PM

Even though I agree with the sentiments expressed in the upcoming documentary What Would Jesus Buy? (not patronizing big box store like Wal-Mart, etc, buying locally, not driving SUVs) and you probably do too, I am going to have to pan the movie, which I screened yesterday. And you know why? Because it’s all about this guy:

Notice how completely ineffective his torturous schtick is in influencing the total c***sucker who is interviewing him. THANKS, “Reverand Billy.” I HATE YOU.

Please, if it must be “performative” to reach the American public, someone come up with a less MADDENINGLY REPELLENT idea.

Sorry if I seem a little hysterical, but imagine these mere minutes of footage as a feature length film, and you’ll begin to understand what I’ve been through.

I stopped the player at 4 seconds in.

Isn't this a Morgan Sperlock movie?

I think it should be noted that if Jesus was still blogging, we could go straight to the source and ask him what he would buy!

It is surprising to read a Mercury movie review that is "Holier Than Thou".

I like the Reverend. If you think anyone influences Glen Beck on any issue, well I'd like to see your evidence of that.

Glen Beck is a schrill, manipulative, weenie who shouts down whatever he disagrees with. He is also a global warming denier and thinks Muslims ought to go to concentration camps. http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=3014

I'll take two hours of preaching over that any day. It sounds to me like you need to get back to church.
