Re: Noah (2014) D: Aronofsky S: Crowe
The only reason I would want to see this is because Darren Aronofsky has yet to let me down with any of his films. But IMO this looks and feels like a Ridley Scott film. Looks pretty, has action and is loaded with special effects. Where's the substance?

Damn. That looks badass. So all I know about Noah is that he was a guy that got talked to from the big ass white bearded motherfucker to build a boat for two of every animal.
When I was a catholic we didn't really go over Noah's story. Anyway... Uhm... How much of trailer is from the biblical story? It looks epically awesome. Don't give a fuck about Noah but I'll watch a movie about Noah by Aronofsky.

Really? IMO, that's how I'd describe the Aronofsky films I've seen.

I like it. I love the crudeness of the ark design. How it's literally just a big box and not an actual "boat" per se. The exodus of the animals look amazingly epic.

Looks good, I'll give it that. I wonder if God did something to keep the animals under control while they were on board the ark? Given that you had predators sharing space with herbivores, and some venomous reptiles as well, I would think he had to do something. Also, I wonder if this movie will explain what happened with the fish? Kind of hard for them to drown I would imagine.

I'll agree with some of that - it doesn't look anything like a "typical" Aaronofski flick. After 15 years in the biz DA has hit the big leagues in terms of budget. I do see where the Ridley Scott flourishes come in. The style isn't too far removed from Ridley's Robin Hood. Everyone, including, Noah looks all big and burly. Fuck, I didn't even recognize Ray Winstone.

Also I want to see Noah go to the North and South Poles to get some penguins and polar bears. He had to have two each of them. I also want to see Noah check all the animals genitals to make sure he has one male and one female. Can't have two of the same sex or else that species is doomed. Gotta double check the genitals. Also better make sure none of the animals get sick and die before they reproduce or again that species is doomed.
Though the question I really want the movie to answer is just how Noah and his family had enough time in a day to both feed all the animals and shovel the poop. There are more animals on the ark than the largest zoos, and you basically have one family taking care of this enormous zoo when it really should have required many many people.
Plus where was all this food stored? One elephant alone eats several hundred pounds of food per day. That's ONE elephant. There were two on the ark, plus all the other thousands of animals as well. They were on the ark for 40 days. That's an inconceivable amount of food that would have been required. How did Noah even gather it all? And where and how was it stored? They didn't have refrigerators back then so how was it kept fresh for 40 days?
So many plots holes need addressing...

Its a trailer, what kind of substance do you want from a one minute trailer?

Fresh water fish would die. If the entire world is flooded, all water becomes salty.

Its because there were no master snakes with enough DNA to recreate all the different snake species, so just two snakes alone weren't enough. Noah needed two of every snake species.

Re: Noah (2014) D: Aronofsky S: Crowe
The ark does look pretty dang big. However, I would think that with two of every species of animal board the amount of dung generated might very well cause the ship to sink. I do hope they at least show Noah and his family living in a different section, as the smell would cause nausea beyond imagination.

My grammar was a little off. I was actually referring to the lack of substance in RS films.

Assuming you were serious, the correct response is: oh, come on. Dung isn't "generated"; it's converted from foodstuff. So all that "dung generation" would do is move weight from one part of the ship to another.

It's hilarious how people have such an anti-Christian bias that they can't even accept a fictional film of this story.
I'm not a pagan Greek, but I love Clash of the Titans and Jason and the Argonauts. If you don't believe it's true, why can't you just view it as a retelling of an ancient myth? Why does everyone have to shit on the details because someone, somewhere might believe it? Who cares? If it's a well-told story and a good movie, I don't give a fuck who believes what.

I'm kind of reminded of how bent out of shape some people got about The Book of Eli. The film was total silly nonsense. That's not to say it wasn't fun to watch with some cool action scenes, but I can't believe anyone would take it seriously as any kind of statement about religion, whatever beliefs you do or don't have.
