Ho Shit, M. Night Bananarama Has A New Movie Coming Out

[Seil]

Supposedly about the Devil.

Let's start with the obvious jokes and work our way up from there, shall we?

EDIT Though I'm interested to see what he'd do with this. Might be worth a look.

Isn't the inverted cross actually a holy symbol? Something like Peter didn't feel worthy being crucified the same way as Jesus, so he does it upside down? And he has inverted crosses on his papal seat? Yeah, here we go, the cross of St. Peter.

I hope the bad guy ends up being M. Night Fuckalon and then the good guys kill him.

And then it turns out to be a home video and not a movie.

I hope he dies.

It's used as an "Anti-Christ" symbol but only in a very secular way - It has really no root in any christian tradition or actual inversion of christian tradition so it's not actually meaningful in anyway. Strangly telling as it's used in the promo poster for an M. Night Soylent Green movie.

So what you're saying is that the inverted cross, the Peteran cross, is Holy, and that the inverted crucifix - the one with Jesus on it - is unholy? Got it.

Is M. Night Shyamabama taking the Dante's Inferno route and hoping "public outrage" for the subject matter, or at least the perceived subject matter - even the movie poster - will create low-cost advertising?

And people wonder why atheists get characterized as petty jerks, at least in America.

On to the movie itself, the concept is interesting, even if the jury's still out on the execution.

Oh boy, I can hardly wait for the THRILLING TWIST.
Like, I dunno. THE ELEVATOR IS THE DEVIL!
Or THE FIREMEN ARE THE DEVIL.
Or THE VIEWER IS THE DEVIL.

Is this going to be like that one Doctor Who episode
the one where they're on a subway in Toxic Crystal Land and it gets stuck?

[Azisien]

The grand twist will be the girl in the trailer freaking out for the majority of the movie and nobody can figure out why and as the final shot zooms out on her lying in a twitching, fetal position surrounded by the corpses of those she was trapped with, the camera will zoom into her pupil and you'll see inside her mind. She'll be sitting in a theater watching The Last Airbender.

There was no Devil.

It was an angel.

The people in the elevator were evil and being punished by God.

It was Angels

Calling it now.
