Bill Maher's "Religulous"
Okay, this looks funny:
I admit it: Bill Maher makes me laugh. I've only caught his program a few times, but he always entertains me. I downloaded a podcast or two of his, and I intend to listen to more of them. And then I find out he's making a movie.
I think this looks hilarious. This is the kind of humour I like: the awkward situation. It appears to be a film of him traveling across the country and confronting members of religious communities and asking them pointed questions about their faith...and then hilarity ensues. It seems a bit mean-spirited, but it's still funny. Should I feel bad? He also asks politicians and academics about religion as well. Overall, it looks good to me.
What do you guys think of this? Anyone else looking forward to it?
