Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed

I think that teachers who insist that 2 + 2 makes 7 are discriminated against too!
 
I don't see a good general thread for expelled so why not use this one.

Listen to this if you want to laugh/be annoyed. It is Stein being interviewed by James Dobson today. Click on "Play Audio".

"Here's an idea: See if you can work in a dunce cap on top of Stein's bean."

Great Idea!

Rather than put money into the pockets of Ben Stein and the Disco Institute by buying a ticket to "Expelled", instead consider buying a "Truth Ticket". Read more about it at this link via Pandas Thumb...

My favorite from that link's comment section:

"Don’t pay to see Expelled. See it for free if you have to. This clunker will end up as free DVDs, free church basement showings, and on late night Xian Trinity Broadcasting TV soon enough. Or possibly as a triple feature with The Rocky Horror Picture Show and From Darwin to Hitler."

I'll be buying my "Truth Ticket" tonight! Pass it on. :D

ETA: Awesome! This was my 666th post! Ben Stein, if you're reading this... the Devil made me do it!!! :hypnotize
 
Even FauxNews thinks the movie sucks:
(requoted from PT)

After seeing a new non-fiction film starring Comedy Central’s Ben Stein, you may not only be able to win his money, but also his career.

Stein is that whiny little guy with the monotone voice that makes him seem funny and an unlikely “character” for TV appearances. But that career may be over come April 18 when a movie he co-wrote, narrates and appears in, called “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed,” is released.

Directed by one Nathan Frankowski, “Expelled” is a sloppy, all-over-the-place, poorly made (and not just a little boring) “expose” of the scientific community. It’s not very exciting. But it does show that Stein, who’s carved out a career selling eye drops in commercials and amusing us on sitcoms, is either completely nuts or so avaricious that he’s abandoned all good sense to make a buck.

To wit: Stein, Frankowski and pals say in “Expelled” that perfectly good scientists and educators are being stigmatized for wanting to teach their students creationism and “intelligent design” — in other words, junk science — in addition to or instead of conventionally accepted Darwinism. You see, Stein, like some other celebrities, finally has shown his true colors and they aren’t so pretty.
