Ladies and Gentlemen , gather round. Its time to offer your sympathy to a regular.

Yes folks. Despite his high standing within the critic community , it appears that the Evening Times no longer rates Andy Dougan as "The Man" when it comes to film reviews. For the standout movie of the year , Harry Potter , the two page spread review was taken away from Andy , and give to local personality Elaine C Smith , thus denying Andy the pleasure of coming to terms with the whole Potter phenomenon , and writing a witty , yet subtly sarchastic critique of the movie.

I should point out that Elaine C Smiths major claim to fame is ...... playing the wife of Rab C Nesbitt in a long running comedy series.

Yes. That Chick is a master satirist.

I'm sure the real Andy Dougan got to see it as well.

Okay, I'm slightly confused now.

While I pride myself on usually knowing when someone/something is a joke, Betty's Harry Potter review didn't strike me as particularly spoof-ish.

Similarly, Those Chick Tracts (I've seen 'em around, too) are not spoofs -- though I'm guessing that paragraph was more tongue-in-cheek than anything else.

I read the Dark Dungeons one online (during the last mention of Chick), and I have to say I've NEVER been involved in any D&D sessions like the ones portrayed there. It's a *game*, for Pete's sake. If your character dies, you roll up another and try again. Sheesh.

And now I have to thank you all for putting me in such a serious mood. Now I can't snap at my coworkers in my usual jovial fashion.

Read that Betty Bowers one again, flickguy, keeping in mind that it is a joke. Lots of stuff in it will jump out at you on a re-read:

- This woman claims to have sat down to a meal with a "very angry Jesus".

- "...there are few unsightly non-Caucasian children..."

The whole thing is a joke, though a very cleverly-written and disturbingly convincing one.

My crack about Jack Chick was a joke, though. He is a genuine, dyed-in-the-wool, diehard far-right-wing, fundie hatemonger. He seriously believes that screaming "YOU ARE A HELLBOUND SINNER!" in people's faces will make them convert, and you would be amazed at just how many groups fit into this category... AIDS victims, Jews, Muslims, roleplayers, homosexuals, Catholics, etc - he has a tract for every one of them. I think he is a walking, talking, drawing pile of filth who does nothing but poison the opinions of non-Christians about what real Christians are like. I wish him nothing but ill, and that is not something I say lightly.

YES flickster, Betty Bowers is a total gag. Go to the root of the site and look around. I read an article a while back where she had an interview with god in her livingroom and had to remind him to use the coaster and thanked him for not bringing his son along.

Hyperreligious fucks are hated by God, you know. He's going to give them really crappy jobs in heaven. That'll teach 'em to do dumbass shit in his name.

Did they re-shoot every scene mentioning the philosopher's stone, or did they just dub "sorcerer" over afterwards?

I think they said something along the lines of 'Fuck those faggy Brits. If they think we're changing the name of this movie just to suit them, they've got another thing coming. They can go fuck themselves up the ass with a broom.'

So they just left in 'sorcerer's'.
