I'm still curious how the transformation story was portrayed. Didn't the Afore say there was something unique about how it was filmed?

Here is an interesting review I just read:
Dogged original research and superb narrative skills come together in this gripping account of pitiless evil.
Oh, wait . . . .

That was a review of the novel Killers of the Flower Moon, another instance of white people exploiting indigenous peoples for their own profit.

I kid because I love.
"I have learned with what evils tyranny infects a state. For it frustrates all the virtues, robs freedom of its lofty mood, and opens a school of fawning and terror, inasmuch as it leaves matters not to the wisdom of the laws, but to the angry whim of those who are in authority.”

Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

Peterson is trying to get ahead of his fear of a poor reception…
You might be amused to learn that some vocal hardcore online critics of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (and of me, personally) are planning to do what they can to flood the web with negative reviews of Six Days in August.

And he’s also going to try and commandeer the first Family Home Evening following General Conference.
I’m pleased to announce that a second (and final) set of “sneak peek” early screenings for the new Interpreter Foundation film Six Days in August will occur on Monday, 7 October — which is the day after General Conference — in the same nine Cinemark theaters that offered last night’s showings
Shouldn't that be when families are reviewing General Conference and setting goals for themselves based on the Lord’s counsel, rather than having a night out at the movies? Utterly thoughtless, and a flagrant “up yours” to The Brethren. How dare they arrange General Conference for when his movie comes out!

I read his new review! Sounds like Everybody Wang Chung was underwhelmed.

He will get great reviews for the Brigham Young claymation transformation sequence.
