Will Six Days In August Really Play In Theaters?

[Marcus]

My SO has really gotten me into birding, so much so that I couldn't help noticing the portrait of a myna bird in the new trailer, at timestamp 00:23. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that mynas and Mormons seemed to spread and invade in similar ways...

...The common myna (Acridotheres tristis) is a globally invasive passerine and is an excellent model species for research both into the persistence of low-diversity populations and the mechanisms of biological invasion...

...we use demographic analysis to identify that some native regions underwent a dramatic population increase...

Mynas are believed to be monogamous, however, thus ending the similarities to Smith, et. al.

I wonder how many of these wives the film will show:



Do you think Big Daddy Brother Brigham could fit 50+ wedding rings on his hands?

From the AMC blurb:

The Prophet Joseph was dead. Enemies of the Church thought it would die with Joseph. In fact that danger was real. The crisis was undeniable, and Nauvoo was in chaos. For the reeling saints, there was no tested path, no clear consensus, and no definitive word left by Joseph on who should lead. The saints were being torn apart. Opinions changed as fast as they could be expressed. Yet hours following his death, the 'campaign' began. This story of a youthful Brigham Young, of his special relationship with Brother Joseph, the story of Emma, and of the Saints getting to see an extraordinary 19th-century exhibition of claymation able to turn the face of youthful Brigham into the countenance of Brother Joseph.

Hilarious! Claymation? I wouldn't give the Interpreter any ideas.

Did anyone else notice the new SeN post, hilariously titled “Slightly More Than Month To Go!” (sic; I guess articles are plentiful at the Interprter blog, but less so at SeN?).

There has to be a slight sense of unease that God was able to morph the countenance of Brigham but not the actor on the film set. This was a deliberate choice by Mormon God.

The miracle has to be fabricated.

I'm glad they took constructive criticism about the trailer.

That cannot be right. In late July, a poster at SeN wrote:

And regarding the criticisms of Six Days in August from those zealous and obsessed critics of the gospel, it's nice of them to remind me that they are not to be trusted even if they say the sky is blue.

They were gleefully pointing out "anachronisms" that were so amateurishly missed in the trailer. And they helpfully gave timestamps so that anyone could check it out to see how full of crap they are. Among the things I learned is that they apparently didn't know glasses existed in the 1800s, they didn't know wagons existed in the 1800s and make wheel tracks on roads, and they've never seen con-trails or clouds in their lives. Other "anachronisms" mentioned evaded my view no matter how hard I squinted.

Pretty par for the course, I'd say.

The film's co-executive producer replied: "Very much so. And for fifteen or twenty years now."

There you have it. Nothing noted here about the trailer had any validity.

DCP has a fragile narrative to maintain, facts be damned.

He doesn’t even allow upvotes on critical comments to his blog. They must stay at 0.

Would someone be able to post side-by-side screenshots here of the building with/without the wire in the two trailers?
