    Either way, I think I'm going to have a Facebook purge over the next two months.
    Interesting. I was wondering about the stupid name choice. If anything, they've created a more flavorful Google experience for those active members of the church who want to learn more about this movie.
    I told him he was a goddamn Nazi Stormtrooper.

        Oh, that? I got pissed at you for some dumb reason like four months ago that I now don't remember and removed you so I wouldn't say anything stupid. I do that all the time as a self-censoring mechanism. I meant to readd you months ago.
        Awesomeness now has a name. Let me introduce myself.

                I bet your county leads the nation in ticket sales. Mormons seeking affirmation are the most likely audience.

                  You mean over 80%? Otherwise your estimate is not really different than mine...only more specific.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                    Can't wait to see this. It's going to be a for sure addition to my dvd collection.

                    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                      Not only am I not going to see this movie, I'm not even going to see the YouTube clip of this movie. That is how "enlightened" and "progressive" I am.

                          If it shows in a theater near my home (chances seem remote), I'm going to take my family to see it after Church.

                            It is rated PG? How is that possible? Did someone let a "flippin' fetch" fly without good cause?

                              Elder Nelson and five others attacked and robbed in Mozambique. Crazy. Having dinner at a mission presidents home when the armed assailants busted in. It seems one of the wives broke her arm, but fortunately, that seems to have been the worst of it. http://www.ksl.com/?sid=6660347

                                lol. This is from 2009. Don't feel bad. I'm pretty sure this is the fifth time this has been posted as breaking news (including once from me).
