Well here's the thing... I find it interesting that we (LDS folks) as a whole, or so many of us maybe, are up in arms about this television show. Why? Because...
Sure, sure. One of my great-something aunties was J.S. (I think first?) plural wife. Zina Huntington. She had a hard time with it at first, but prayed about...
I am working on a documentary about the first edition of the Book of Mormon. The focus is more on where the book is today as a collector's dream rather than...
... It's widely accepted that Joseph Smith's first plural wife was Fanny Alger. She was 16 at the time, he was 28. It's also believed that this event caused...
Who here thinks that moderating the board has made it rather boring and uneventful? ~Jed PS: Church Ball opens in theaters March 17 throughout Utah, Idaho, ...
I think the boringness and uneventfulness have been unrelated to the fact that the board has been moderated. At least I hope so, because I certainly don't want...
Perhaps you meant to say, "who here thinks having Robford moderate the board is boring?" :) By the way, I've been meaning to ask you, just how did you get...
Robford...you're not boring at all, but I do wonder what I'm missing from Steve Greenstreet and Pat Blazer. Actually Fred was pretty easy to get because he...

I find boring FAR preferable to INSANE. Infer everything you want from that. And yeah, I know, like I'm one to talk.. Review part two of the LDS Film Festival...
Hi all, I'm posting this even though it might not be of interest to all of you, and many of you may already say 'been there, done that'. When I was at BYU a...

I have a theory about what could be a terrific new genre in film, and I want to use M. Night Shyamalan as an illustration, to see if I can engage any of you in...
... One possibly obvious guess: For the most part, the spiritual element in Night's films is fairly generic, allowing people of various belief systems to...
Just wondering who watched it last night and what people thought. I watched it. Man, they have sure done their research. They had so many bits and peices of ...
Coming from one of this group's "mission field Mormon" lurkers, who has no
significant training in film (other than at the boxoffice-lol) I offer: Before...
... Uhhh....spirits.....mediums....I thought we're not supposed to seek "mediums".....? :) (Isaiah 8:19 etc.) Actually, though, I think the (in post) movie...
Responding to Rick, Ronn, and Langbert - Rick, I think the examples you site are actually spiritual films (or plots) - though only Star Wars particularly for...
If you look at the footnotes to Isaiah 8:19, "familiar" and "wizards" are connected in the topical guide to "Spirits, Evil or Unclean". It's a prohibition...
