The naffest line in the whole movie


...is when Carrel's wife confronts him about appearing dressed as Noah at the meeting where Goodman puts the new bill into motion. She says "The whole WORLD was watching". Lmao I know Americans are drenched in self importance but seriously, that was a classic.

She just says 'not in front of all those people' doesn't she?

I thought it was a pretty good film. Fairly entertaining and quite charming.

I love how the rest of the world acts like Americans are the only culture to think we're full of ourselves. Like the Brits don't fancy themselves a higher-class version, so proper and much more clever with their tongue-in-cheek brand of comedy. The French with art and wines, the Germans with beer, every culture has their egotistical side.

Back on topic...go to any foreign country, you'll find people that speak English. Enjoy that McDonald's and Starbucks. Also this Internet thing you're using to complain about us? We gave you that one too.


You're welcome.

Kelly Kelly,

When Karen Allen said that it was what we in America call a joke. The writer and director were actually taking a shot at America by putting that in there and showing that sometimes we think of ourselves in this country as self important and that may be so but we get humor at least.

I'm not sure you're even aware of it but your post is implying that America gave the world the English language, which is hillarious and so apt for this thread.

Actually, Americans DID invent the Internet. You're equating the Internet with the World Wide Web, but they're not the same, the latter being just one function of the Internet. The Internet was originally developed by DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, as a means to share information on defense research between involved universities and defense research facilities. Originally it was just email and FTP sites as well as the Usenet where scientists could question and answer each other. It was originally called ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency NETwork). The concept was developed starting in 1964, and the first messages passed were between UCLA and the Stanford Research Institute in 1969. The scientists at CERN (like Tim Berners-Lee) worked on HTML for the WWW, which came later.

chill
I'm from the country that is considered to be all murderers and war criminals, and for some reason, it seems that Americans believe we are in middle east, don't know why.
My father, on the other hand, believes that our ppl were "created" even before the amoeba, and that the rest of the world is worthless, ugly, stupid and evil.

Well guess what? It's all load of crap.

I love pretentious movies. I hate it when movie won't try hard enough.

Ummmmm. FIGURE OF SPEECH.

Taken in the context of the movie, if your spouse appeared to be losing his/her mind, ranting about visions and missions from God, and then is forcibly removed from a CONGRESSIONAL HEARING on national television, which then prompts public response and news coverage, it would very well feel like the "world" is watching.

I love how people take things so friggin literally, no less from a movie about God telling someone to build an ark, and make a parlor game out of finding some sort of supremist undertone in a throw-away comedy.
