D2K and prior was the best, I will admit... but I was mainly speaking of the religious/government/evolution stuff. -- Teri, 05/ 6/08 2:42pm

He is good except I can understand what this person is saying, he makes jokes about things and apparently doesn't have all the facts because he can't be bothered, it's like he doesn't care enough about his act to make sure he at least knows what he's talking about he just excuses the whole thing by saying I saw it on telly. -- Amy, 05/ 6/08 3:11pm

I hit the return key too quickly - I meant to add that Louis (Lewis?) Black and Bill Maher, they know what they're talking about before they get political or religious. -- Amy, 05/ 6/08 3:13pm

Lionsgate to Release Larry Charles/Bill Maher Anti-Religion Documentary
Posted on Friday, July 13th, 2007 at 2:51 am by: Peter Sciretta
We’re really excited about this one. Someone has finally acquired US distribution rights to the Larry Charles/Bill Maher anti-Religion documentary. From what I understand footage from the film was shown at Cannes in an attempt to nab a buyer. The footage was said to be amazing, but most studios were afraid to make a move due to the controversial nature of the doc. Not much is known about the film. This is Charles first project since directing Borat. Maher promises that “this movie will make you laugh so hard you’ll pray for it to stop.” Lionsgate hopes to expand into 1,000 screens with this release which makes me wonder if it is expected to have that much mass appeal. The film has been hyped as “Borat” meets “Fahrenheit 9/11.”
When it was first announced, the documentary was described as “examining the presence of religion in many of the big news stories of recent years, from Muslim riots over cartoons to the Ten Commandments in front of courthouses, a born-again Christian in the White House and Scientology in the birthing room.” “Is religion an obsessive-compulsive disorder?” asks Charles, who bills his movie as “Bill Maher vs. the Anti-Christ (or is Bill Maher the Anti-Christ?)”

I haven't been impressed with any of Eddies newer stuff. Any of it. He CAN be brilliant, what happened? Eddie needs to do... something, no idea what. I just saw George Carlin again recently. He's kicked it up a notch. Whole new act, up to date, topical, knew his shit. Cellphones, texting, myspace, God, everything. I expcted to see the terribly bitter, nasty man I saw last time. I didn't. He was terribly funny. -- Bry... Carlin is 70 now. I hope Eddie finds his groove again before then., 05/ 7/08 2:08am
