What does this have to do with politics?

1. I have not seen the movie, but in reading the review, I certainly did not get the impression that it is anti-Christian.

2. Your post implies that Ebert should not be allowed to recommend a movie that is anti-Christian. If you don't like his reviews or positions, don't read him. I don't like his position on gun control, but he is an excellent film critic and I respect his opinions about movies.

3. What has this got to do with politics, other than the issue of free speech?

I'll say to you the same thing i say to my freind...
when watching 'crouching tiger' and everyone's flying through the air...
and he says "i don't care how long you study martial arts, that isn't possible!"...


IT'S A MOO-VIE!
jeez.

ebert is a big 'ol leftie, though.

Considering there is an entire campaign to suppress religious expression in this country (especially Christian expression), this is part of that political debate.

Whether the ACLU, PFAW, US Senators attacking judicial nominees, or Ebert going after movies, it is still an attack on the political rights of Christians.

ps - Ebert is indeed a leftie, and he is a member of the mainstream media, but then I repeat myself.

This thread is ridiculous. The fact he didn't give it 4 stars like he does almost every movie he ever sees should prove he's not being anti-Christian.

Edit: He gave Polar Express 4 stars, I guess he's a Bible-thumping Christian hater.

ARE YOU INSANE?! EBERT IS A MOVIE CRITIC!! Yeah, he's a leftie. So what? Leftie's can't be movie critics? Movie critics can't spout their opinion about MOVIES?!

How the hell is his review in any way anti-Christian, let alone attacking the POLITICAL rights of Christians, not like movie critics can't spout their opinions about movies or anything....

Oh, I see now. How could he be anti-Christian. Santa Claus is the very center of Christianity, and he endorsed a Santa Claus film.

Forget Jesus and all those guys in the bible, as long as he is for a film about the great Santa Claus, he can't possibly be anti-Christian. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Would you prefer The Passion of the Christ? 4 stars.
