He gets some kind of self worth from waging war with imaginary bogeymen.
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

I think most of us here would welcome a well produced, captivating, and nuanced film about Mormonism. We all are enthralled by the religion and its stories. I would love for a film like Witnesses to go mainstream and be a historical blockbuster like Titanic.I Have Questions wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2024 9:33 pmHe gets some kind of self worth from waging war with imaginary bogeymen.
But Dan has his hands tied, he has to make a movie that is more suited for the ward VHS library than suited for the typical moviegoer.

Would a more honest and forthright movie place Dr. Peterson in danger of being excommunicated under the new guidelines by President Oaks?

It's obvious the Afore is lying again in a desperate attempt to gain sympathy and get people to post fake positive reviews. There is a good reason why many call SeN the factory of fiction and falsehood.Tom wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2024 9:13 pmI checked with friends who are vocal hardcore online critics of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Afore, if you can provide a CFR for this alleged campaign to flood various review websites with negative reviews, I will publicly apologize to you.

Oh who am I kidding. I'm sure the Afore find a way to say he didn't really mean he wanted reviews from people whose opinions he can't control.But I, we, would very much appreciate it if those who have actually seen the film would share their genuine reactions to it on social media and, when, the opportunities arise, on review websites. I’m hoping for honest reactions to the film itself...

Obviously inspired by the Hungarian goulash incident with Bill Maher.Everybody Wang Chung wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2024 7:09 pmYes, that would've been hilarious! The Executive Producer did try his hand at comedy, but the scene fell flat.Marcus wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2024 5:36 pmThank you, Everybody Wang Chung!!
One can only hope a three year old arm snuck out to steal a biscuit during this scene of adults with their eyes closed, if only for comic relief.
A little Davey and Goliath action would have been amazing. What a missed opportunity.
The scene is at Brigham Young's wedding, where he tells his new bride that his is glad to be married and to finally have someone to help with the chickens and cows. BY's bride picks up a large vase filled with water and dumps it on BY's head and hand tailored wedding suit. Everyone at the wedding laughs and laughs. It was a strange attempt at humor. Unfortunately, the scene was just bizarre and awkward to watch. Nobody in the theater laughed.
Bill Maher. I had just begun my bowl of Hungarian goulash, and I resisted the temptation to pour it over his head.

It was important for the Executive Producer to portray the "tongue" as a real language and not just gibberish...

I ran it by my Irish SO, he says no, but then he only knows Gaelic curse words. He says the clip sounds like.. well. I can't exactly repeat what he said. I got the meaning, though, even though I don't speak Gaelic, as hand gestures and facial expressions go a long, long, long way.
When I'm sure it won't give my elderly, Gaelic-speaking great aunt a heart attack, I'll play it for her. She's even less mannered than my SO, however, so after the paint blisters off the walls and I stop laughing, I'll let you know her opinion.
