So I decided to turn off adblock only to be met by this ad....

For the good part of 10PM PT it lingered. :/

I wonder why they are trying to get us to see this movie?

1. I believe it's an expose

Edited on Thu Sep-28-06 02:37 AM by Der Blaue Engel

meant to educate people about this scary group of radical Christians. I don't need the education (since I grew up with such groups), so I will not be going to see it, but some people are unaware of how extreme these people are.

On edit: It gives me the wiggins, looking at that ad. :scared:

3. The visceral reaction to the ad (and by extension, the movie) is hilarious

Anyone who watches the trailer should be able to tell that this isn't exactly some kind of fundementalist propaganda film.

5. They are targetting us because the film failed to draw its original aud

Sounds bizarre but just think how many here watch Fox News.

The people who bought the film want to sell it to 2 audiences but the film is now not expected to do well among evangelicals:

The vast majority of Evangelical Christians do not identify with either the practices, worship, theology or fundamentalism of the Pentecostal movement as it is portrayed by Becky Fischer and the Christ Triumphant Church of Pastor Carol Koch.

Meanwhile the owners of the film are proclaiming the film neutral:

Jesus Camp was screened at Michael Moore's Traverse City Film Festival against the wishes of the distribution company, Magnolia Pictures. Magnolia had pulled Jesus Camp from the festival earlier in the summer after it purchased rights to the film, with Magnolia president Eamonn Bowles saying, "I don't want the perception out in the public that this is an agenda-laden film."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_Camp_Documentary

For us, they portray it as a documentary which will scare us with how extreme the Pentacostal movement is. For the evangelical community, it is being sold as 'finally a film which treats the spirituality of children seriously.'

The directors stumbled onto Becky whatshername during the production and re-worked the whole concept into this 2 audience thing.
