[RWINS] offered villian role in [NOAH] RazorHawk Jun 11, 17:38

He's playing The Rain? {nm} islander Jun 11, 17:45

Maybe the crooked contractor that Noah hires to build the ark? {nm} stevie1der328 Jun 11, 17:47

"Little Noah, Little Noah, let me in!" "Not by the gravitational pull of your drippy drip drip!" {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jun 11, 17:47

lol {nm} Dave3626 Jun 11, 18:03

I'm actually interested in watching this movie, if only to laugh at how wrong his take is. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jun 11, 17:56

its probably best taken in as a fictional account of a mythological character...meaning, dont take it as gospel, its just a movie {nm} Moviesnob Jun 11, 18:03

Well I can agree with you there, because the Noah he's portraying definitely isn't the Noah of the Bible, so it is definitely a mythological accountant_4_Jesus Jun 11, 18:08

this would be a good conversation for your new forum {nm} Moviesnob Jun 11, 18:12

If only we had a board at HSX dedicated to misc. stuff, life in general......hmmm {nm} Dave3626 Jun 11, 18:14

i'm one of those people who thinks its best to keep theological debates off the hsx forums as they tend to get ugly. Same as politics {nm} Moviesnob Jun 11, 18:16

Speaking as someone who got instantly labeled a vitriolic bigot for explaining someone else's argument, yeah, I agree with you. Dave3626 Jun 11, 18:19

Well, what you said was wrong and stupid! Haha, just kidding. {nm} PRodNano Jun 11, 21:38

I realise that, and that is why even though my beliefs are a big part of who I am, for everyone else's sake on here I try to keep comments accountant_4_Jesus Jun 11, 18:21

isnt this a sci fi take on Noah? the comic book looked futuristic {nm} notfabio Jun 11, 19:08

Ever seen "Pi", Aronofsky's take on 3.14etc and Jewish mysticism? That was an ordeal. {nm} Dave3626 Jun 11, 18:06

No, I haven't seen that one. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jun 11, 18:08

I see you have North By Northwest on your list. Good choice. Excellent film. {nm} Dave3626 Jun 11, 18:13

I agree. :) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jun 11, 18:24

Don't you mean it was a powerdrill to the forehead? {nm} Paul2k Jun 11, 18:08

No. Marriage is a powerdrill to the forehead. Pi was just an ordeal. {nm} Dave3626 Jun 11, 18:10

"Pi" + "Requiem for a dream" = 2 ordeals. Or, 4.14 ordeals. second gary Jun 11, 18:18

I forgot about Requiem. Jennifer Connelly as a junkie, right? {nm} Dave3626 Jun 11, 18:20

I have forgotten it, except to say it's no "Trainspotting" and no "Jungle Fever." {nm} second gary Jun 11, 18:22

Man, I liked Pi, but Requiem was beat-you-over-the-head ordealy. Jane_Citizen Jun 11, 18:47

Even though I'm not married yet, I dispute that claim. accountant_4_Jesus Jun 11, 18:23

I agree with everything you said. Nonetheless, some of us just aren't wired for it :-) {nm} Dave3626 Jun 12, 05:19

Was the Pi caramel-flavoured? ;-) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jun 11, 18:51

The villain is God. He's the one causing the flood and murdering the entire world. {nm} elchan Jun 11, 18:19

Um, no. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jun 11, 18:24

It's only a movie. ;-) {nm} elchan Jun 11, 18:31

There were crooked men who spited Noah for his decision to build the ark. That's who I assume Winstone's playing. [assumption] {nm} chosenone2oo5 Jun 13, 09:53
