The problem with anyone insisting that "Christian morality" is a thing is that no Christian moral statements are original to Christianity. The laws of The Pentateuch (which were Jewish anyway, before Christianity claimed the OT as their own) are based in large part on Hammurabi's laws. Jesus' Golden Rule was written before him by Plato, Hillel, etc. There is no truly original moral code in the Bible. As Christopher Hitchens said: "Name me a moral action that a believer can perform and an unbeliever can't." You can't do it.

Are you guys ever gonna get to the Pirates sequels? Also, it'd be interesting for you to do a commentary on the 2011 The Thing comparing it to the 1982 one.

I think the weasel-penis-hazing bit in this one is the hardest I've ever laughed in my history of listening to the show, and that's saying something.

Do you guys think there could be a good Phantom Edit version of GoF? I personally think you'd need to add some stuff in addition to taking things away.

CG fire still doesn't quite work for me. It was the only flaw in Gravity's VFX that I noticed.

How did everyone else feel about Frozen, if anyone saw it? I just saw it, and was pleasantly surprised at how strong the female characters were. And the animation was gorgeous. Music wasn't so spectacular in most cases, but "Let It Go" is a lock for Best Original Song at the Oscars.

My roommate returned from a showing the other day saying this was worse than Prometheus. Ouch.

It's a Wonderful Life and White Christmas, mostly. I decided to watch the Star Wars Holiday Special last year, and it almost killed me. Definitively the worst viewing experience I've ever had.

Something interesting I read after the malariathon--apparently Tim Roth was their first choice for Snape, but he backed out to do Planet of the Apes. I can see him doing a pretty good Snape, though I don't know if his voice is right for the part.
