Re: WITNESSES CRASHES AND BURNS!
Let me see if I've got this right...it's one of those movies that uses a historical setting about people that actually lived to tell a fictional story involving these same historical figures. Kind of like Abraham Lincoln Vampire Slayer or how Raiders of the Lost Ark used a historical setting to tell a fictional story. How'd I do?

Very poorly. It tells a true story using real historical figures.Craig Paxton wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 4:43 pmLet me see if I've got this right...it's one of those movies that uses a historical setting about people that actually lived to tell a fictional story involving these same historical figures.

It’s hard if you are a white descendant of slave owners—very hard.Kishkumen wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 1:02 pmThat's pretty hilarious. I have never understood people who get so worked up about the mistakes their ancestors made. What is that, five generations separating Martin and this person? I am sure my ancestors were all kinds of flawed and strange. One of my ancestors was ambushed and killed by Native Americans on his way to General Conference, and he has been blamed for getting himself and his travel companions killed ever since. For some reason, that really doesn't bother me. I find it kind of humorous, in fact.
Martin Harris is a wonderfully entertaining character. I would be thrilled to have an ancestor as colorful as he was, warts and all.

I dunno. The Young family seems to have done well for themselves.

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

I would be very interested to hear about how you struggle with that, Sledge.

Everybody Wang Chung posted this announcement. No idea where he got the information from.

Re: WITNESSES CRASHES AND BURNS!
Thank you. I should have been clearer. Predictions for how long it will be in theaters?
Megaplex is now showing it through June 15, but there could be an extension.

Witnesses is #6 on boxofficemojo.com today but the $230k box office take is anemic. All the other films in the top 10 have made $millions. I guess the sun peeks through the clouds occasionally Dr. P.
I'm going to try to see the movie this Saturday. I hope it isn't a rehash of Saints or other seminary nonsense. Luckily we can have an adult beverage in theaters in Las Vegas if it is.

Re: WITNESSES CRASHES AND BURNS!
I was just looking at the other offerings in Las Vegas and I kept coming back to "The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Hate the Witnesses." We'll see what happens on Saturday.
