Lazy writing: So media notice the babies killed were assigned male at birth, but not that they had the same birthdate?

No mention of that? That'd be pretty conclusive proof that something was going on beyond a bizarre coincidence. It would have been pretty obvious as well. When doing a story like that, it's the sort of background information you'd get about the victims.

That should have been obvious, but the movie makers just ignore it because I suppose it would have ended any doubt that something evil was afoot. They wouldn't have needed to convince the journalist or anyone else, everyone would've known.

This movie is just a mess. I love Sam Neill in it - The best Anti-Christ in the history of Anti-Christing - but aside from a few scenes that hang on his perfect delivery of lines ("They're all God's children, Harvey.") the movie is nothing but lazy or stupid or insipid writing.

I have to admit, I am most fond of the absurdity of a conjunction of three stars, obviously MANY light years away (there are no "nearby" stars that could do this) lining up to point to "the greater London area"... Yeah one more datum and they'd have a street address..

But, we will always have Jerry Goldsmith's magnificent score. Even an atheist has to love his use, only in this third film, of a new theme for the power of Christ. I love me some religious horror.

Good catch there! Those stars are what, trillions of miles away, so pretty ridiculous that they could figure out where the alignment pointed within a few miles.

I just noticed the more common since things, like how Damian keeps pestering his lackey to kill his own kid, then just possesses, or has some demon possess or something, the mom anyway.

"Assigned male at birth" is woke mind virus language to replace "biological male". Don't expect to be taken seriously by intelligent adults, child.

I'm on the right side of history, the one that respects the science.

"In 2020 Scientific American made the historic decision to endorse a presidential candidate for the first time, in this case Joe Biden."

In Isaac Asimov's Foundation novels, there's a mathematician who comes up with a method for predicting the likelyhood of certain events happening, scientifically. No psychics or anything.

Maybe some of the scientists with the magazine have come up with something like that and know that Trump is going to take us down a dark path.

That's not science either, that's science FICTION.

Fiction, looking to the future!
