Because romance totally fixes dysfunctional relationships.

Also, the only reason people would want to get divorced is because their hearts are too cold.

:roll:

It's been a while since I've seen it. still, I feel your pain.

The message I got was that apparently a man and a woman can't communicate unless God is telling them how to do it.

And that Kirk Cameron is a horrible actor.

And that divorce is bad mmm'kay.

I tried to sit through that. Another girl I was with thought if seemed like real life. I figured I could sit through the bad acting but then when the guy yelled at his wife like that and made her cry I had to leave. It was a trigger of sorts and so I dont know how anything beyond the first fifteen minutes went

Courageous was better. Not by much but definately better.

I must confess that when I watched it I did get a little teary-eyed during the rescue, but at the same time I was telling myself that it was only 20 minutes into the movie so none of the major characters were going to die. Other than that I was mostly WTF. I didn't even subject the headship to it.

I'll watch it with you if you be Crow and I can be Tom Servo. Who plays Joel and Mike?

The thing that got me with Fireproof was watching Kirk Cameron attempt to play someone who was addicted to porn by just looking at it and doing nothing else. And then (literally) throwing out the computer after he's decided to re-devote himself to his wife and then is "attacked" by a pop up.

I'll be Mike, though I might be better at goofy but lovable Gypsy

So Kirk just stared thoughtfully at the naked people? Really? What is the point of porn if you're not going to wank? :lol:

Was the character actually addicted to porn, or did he just look at porn every so often? (Fundies can't seem to tell the difference).

He obviously knows nothing about Internet porn because he was going to click a pop up. Everyone knows that shit gives your computer a virus. If he was really into Internet porn he would have all the free sites bookmarked. :lol:

Oh, gag, all my fundie lite friends think it's wonderful. So of course it's horrible. Though I would like to try to watch it if I could be with people who would spoof it. ;)

That is one movie that I have in my Netflix que and is going to be a Margarita scale movie. The Margarita scale was developed in college for cheap entertainment and is usually used for B horror movies, but Fireproof qualifies as a bad movie and is deserving of the scale.

The movie wasnt that bad.

I liked the part on the football field when the coach made the player do the death crawl for 100 yards, or something like that.

What is this Margarita scale you speak of? Please tell me more.....if I'm ever going to watch a fundie movie I'm sure I will need to know. Hell, sometimes I need a shot just to come here and read about all the bat shit stuff they are up to.

To answer the question the Margarita scale is how many margaritas does it take for me to sit through this entire movie. I'm guessing for me Fireproof would require 1 since I am a light weight and I would be laughing throughout probably. Then again with Margarita's it really would depend on glass size like all drinks in life.

Oooh ok. Yeah, I could totally sit through it on only one margarita.....of course I would have to use this glass:

Oh god...from where I'm sitting I can see the book and journal thing from that movie on the book shelf :( I found it horribly acted and sooo far fetched to the point of making me sick. My husband of course loved it ... my now 21 yr old daughter became obessed with the movie the book and journal in 09 when she got engaged to her now husband who is a firefighter. I'm not sure she ever completed the book and journal but she needs to take this crap home with her. I told her its nothing like marriage REALLY is, I think she gets that now after almost 3 yrs and a newborn later. .. Ladder 49 (i think thats the title) now thats a good movie, that has a lot more reality and great acting since she wanted the fire fighter theme.

Start at 41:50. There's not much of the porn staring, but enough to know that he didn't just sit down. 1:13:55 is the pop up scene. I just looked for those scenes, I haven't seen the full movie since it came out, so I don't remember how "addicted" he was to porn...

A set of my paternal grandparents gave a copy of it to all the married adult kids one year at xmas. I'm pretty sure we tossed it after we got home, I know we never watched it.
