Let the record note, I posted here to ask if anyone had any information on this movie opening. I was not disrespectful to any poster. Apparently no one has such information.

There does not appear to be any Canadian dates yet but be sure to check your local listings later this week.

Given the Intelligent Design of The Internet, I expect the movie has already been created in a form readily available for your viewing pleasure in the comfort of your own home. Let Google guide you on your path to enlightenment. Blessed be the BitTorrents. ;)

I guess the movie wasn't designed intelligently enough... ;)

I do, but I won't go to a theatre for it. Maybe I'll rent the DVD.

Meh, looks more like a cheap movie made to get secular and religious people all riled up. From what I see here it looks like it worked. :)
I'll pass on watching it.

I will see it as long as I don't pay a dime for it.


Down to 5% on the Tomato meter by the way, I smell a new record.

It doesn't look like it'll be released in Canada as yet. Perhaps the marketers suspect that Canadians are not quite the open minded thinkers they are perceived as being. Meanwhile, I'm thinking up excuses to go stateside to see it.

Or perhaps they know Canadians are NOT a bunch of stupid fools who would believe anything they were told?

Ha:

The premise of Expelled is that proponents of 'intelligent design' have been shunned, denied tenure, and even fired because of a conspiracy to quash the scientific evidence supporting their theory," said Dr. Keith Lockitch, resident fellow at the Ayn Rand Institute. "But the truth is: there is no evidence supporting their theory. Intelligent design is completely devoid of any positive scientific content, and consists of nothing more than a religiously motivated attack on evolution. To the extent intelligent design advocates are facing obstacles in academia it is because they are not doing real science: they haven't been 'expelled' they have flunked out of the scientific community, just as a faith healer would flunk out of medical school.

Now, is the above a shining example of openminded tolerance? I would submit no, it suggests those who believe in intelligent design or want to see the movie Expelled are stupid fools.

And yet there are plenty of stupid fools in Canada after all if going to bad movies are the measuring stick: I give you Battlefield Earth among many others.

About the same level as those who believe the moon landings were faked, yeah.

Openmindedness and tolerance are not unqualified virtues. I'm not openminded about astrology. For the same reason, I'm not openminded about creationism.

Wow, talk about anti religious hostility. Were some of you molested by catholic priests or what. For the record I don't believe in organized religion any more than most of you do but being the stupid fool that I am apparently, I do believe in intelligent design despite what the diehard evolutionists want to impose on everyone as fact because there is just no way the universe and life here all just happened by some accidental random chance of dumb luck, but that's just me. Oh BTW thanks for showing what the true meaning of tolerance and respect for other people's beliefs is gang. I'm happy to see that there isn't a double standard here. :rolleyes:

FWIW, you do realize that neither evolution or ID is about how the universe or life was created, right?

I loved the parental guidance summary from the Expelled review (http://movies.nytimes.com/2008/04/18/movies/18expe.html?scp=1&sq=expelled&st=nyt) in The New York Times:

“Expelled” is rated PG (Parental guidance suggested). It has smoking guns and drunken logic.
