Still, I suspect his comments about it not being well made say more about him than they do the film.

This film has been called the Citizen Kane of horror films by Cinefantastique magazine, and its cult following is as much for its quality as its quirkiness. Labute's only notable artistic contribution to cinema is his unabashed misogyny which sometimes feels like a witty piece of social commentary, but more often like a messy explosion of masturbatory self-expression.

Every day I see these televangelists, they sell prayer cloths and mini vials of miracle spring water promising God will fulfill their financial needs and wishes.

*God put five thousand dollars in my bank account!* (after I got my miracle spring water hallelujah).

Oh no, not “selling”, *free with your donation*

I was outraged, then entertained. I take fastspells.com as a complement, it is a sign that we Wiccans have hit the big time mainstream! …well almost.

But we did get acknowledged by Whoopi Goldberg on the view last week!

Anywhere there is a belief and a need, there will be someone filling it, for profit.

Snake oil anyone?
