Don't Give Up

I'm of two minds regarding the opening weekend box office take for Expelled.  On the one hand, I'm glad that this piece of lousy anti-science propaganda only pulled in $3.1 million.  On the other, that means that close to half-a-million people plunked down time and money for this thing.  I can't see that the movie would draw in anybody who was undecided about ID versus evolution;  I would guess that everyone who went to see it would be either already solidly in one camp or another.

That's the Ben Stein movie, right? I'd go see it because Ben Stein makes me laugh. Not always intentionally. :P

For what it's worth, the producers made arrangements to pay Christian schools money for so much headcount in the theaters, so I'm curious how much of the volume was that (and church groups ala Passion).

I actually intend to see it this week, although my intention is to give Jackie Chan and Jet Li my money instead.
