if radical christians are angry with stuff like that then they're angry with about 50% of the movies out there. Not sure I get the radical Christian thing because everybody has their opinions and you shouldn't be labeled a radical because your beliefs make you detour a movie. I think the term radical should be left for those that want to blow up buildings not for dissing movies.

Honestly? When I want to see something for entertainment value, I leave politics and religion, and all that jazz behind--makes life simple.
I think it is good to leave negative politics out of flicks. You don't want to see a movie singling out a religious group or something like that. I don't want to see movies that are aimed at kids and give messages that most parents don't want their kids to hear either.
Happy Christmas movies like It's a Wonderful Life have made lots of fans, but lately I wouldn't be surprised if some atheists were harping about even that oldie but goodie. After all there's an angel in it. There seems to be some kind of war between atheism and Christianity lately that just is going over the top. People are afraid to say Merry Christmas, or call a Christmas tree a Christmas tree. It's just nuts to me. When I was a kid a fella that hated Christmas was just a scrooge pure and simple. Nowadays they get to run the rules of celebration.
I didn't get to see either the Chipmunks or Smith's movie, but I plan on it next week. Looks like a lot of people beat me to it though.

Smith as a plague survivor who may be the last living human, debuted with $76.5 million
Alvin and the Chipmunks," starring Jason Lee in a big-screen take on the cartoon critters, opened a strong No. 2 with $45 million.
Can I pick the winners or what?
