'Batman: Year One' Animated Movie Gets Its Voice Cast - ComicsAlliance | Comic book culture, news, humor, commentary, and reviews
Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston is an inspired choice to play James Gordon, the Gotham City police Lieutenant with whom the young Batman allies to wage a new war on crime. Voicing that novice Dark Knight is Ben McKenzie from Southland and The OC. The cast also includes Eliza Dushku as Catwoman, Katee Sackhoff as Sarah Essen and Alex Rocco as Carmine Falcone.

I've thoroughly enjoyed all of the DCU animated movies and they are great examples of excellent storytelling. What drew my attention to this story is:
Cranston told The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision that he rejected WB's offer to perform in Batman: Year One without even reading the script, simply by virtue of the fact that it was for animation, which he considered an unsophisticated medium. Naturally, Cranston was turned around by Miller & Mazzucchelli and the WB Animation team.
"I wasn't aware of this level of storytelling in animation. I confess that freely," he says. "They didn't give the characters the short shrift. I was stunned."

Cranston's attitude is still prevalent and I had forgotten that. Many people forget that animation is not a genre. IT's a medium. You can truly tell just about any story you want and do it in a convincing and epic way. It is sophisticated and worthy of the same respect as live-action productions.

Calvinistic Cartoons: Gary Larson and Ephesians 6:1-3
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

The Dunamis Word: The "Good Book" The Bible Of Humanism
Anthony Graylings book called "The Good Book" is currently being promoted to support the efforts and the agenda of materialism and materialists everywhere. In a book styled after the Bible, which is known as the best selling book in history, the "Good Book" as it is called comes replete with chapter, verse and language similar to the King James Version of the Bible. Simply put, it is a Bible without God and one that is centered on man.
Genesis 1:1 ~ "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
The Good Book ~ “All things take their origin from earlier kinds: Ancestors of most creatures rose from the sea, some inhabitants of the sea evolved from land-dwelling forefathers.”
The question I have is this: If the Bible is such an obvious failure and not worthy of attention, why would a humanist want to parody it. After reading Elder Burnett's remarks, it seems strange to me - like it is an attempt to fill the vacancy rejecting God leaves in the lives of those who deny God's will. More proof the we really need to pray.

Beggars All: Reformation And Apologetics: Bart Ehrman unknowingly refutes Islamic Polemics
Here is a very important article! If you have heard any Muslims or Atheists recently, then you have probably have heard them use Dr. Bart Ehrman's work to argue against Christianity. I like this article because it shows that many of Ehrman's arguments against Christianity also applies to Islam. And the false conclusions he draws about Christianity would also apply to Christianity. Muslims also seems to forget that Ehrman does agree with some aspect of mainstream Christianity:

Even Bart Ehrman knows that:
Jesus was crucified,
Jesus was buried,
that Paul met with James and others of the 11 disciples/apostles,
and that the gospel of John really does teach the Deity of Christ!

Why the “I Just Believe in One Less God than You” Argument Does not Work | Parchment and Pen
“I contend we are both atheists, I just believe in one less god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.” —Stephen F Roberts
Funny thing is I've heard this same argument multiple times from atheists who comment on John Lofus' blog Debunking Christianity. I've posted links to the answer for this objection in several posts on this blog from several people. I like this particular treatment also.

Fighting Colonialism At Home Colonialism is the establishment,… | The Angry Black Woman
Colonialism is the establishment, maintenance, acquisition and expansion of colonies in one territory by people from another territory. Colonialism is a process whereby sovereignty over the colony is claimed by the metropole and the social structure, government, and economics of the colony are changed by colonists - people from the metropole. Colonialism is a set of unequal relationships: between the metropole and the colony, and between the colonists and the indigenous population.

THE INTERSECTION | MADNESS & REALITY: Racist Republican Strikes Again: Obama's Parents Were Monkeys
Image via WikipediaThis is "post-racial America"! Or so I keep being told. I guess someone forgot to tell Marilyn Davenport. She forward an e-mail picture of a 3 chimpanzees dressed like a human family with President Obama's face superimposed over the Baby's face with the Caption, “Now you know why — No birth certificate!” She said it was only a joke, but in order for her to say that one of the following must be true:a. She's ignorant as to how black people have been stereotyped and mocked throughout American History.
b. She thinks we are all stupid.
I like this particular article because it bring up a point that I haven't been thinking a lot about. I thought that this "birther" thing would have been squashed by now, but as the blogger points out that Arizona has taken this a whole step farther.
It's bad enough that Arizona passed a "Birther" law which requires anyone (who they think is Kenyan) to submit a birth certificate, or show that you're circumcised (if you have a penis) to be on the ballot. This has never been done before in history (yeah white folks, see how they change rules once Black people get in the game?). Now you have this so-called non-racist because she has Black friends, continuing in racist tradition. Oh yeah, watch the following video and listen to them detail her racist and racism-defending antics as well as those of others. Hopefully Republican officials get her out of there; she gotta go. Everybody knows her, "I have Black friends," response is quite typical.It's a scary world.

THE APOLOGETIC FRONT: Richard Dawkins Interviews/Debates Wendy Wright
Wendy Wright is the current president and CEO of Concerned Women for America, a Conservative Christian political action group active in the United States. She joined the organization in 1999 and served as its executive vice president before being named president on January 30, 2006. Wright was listed as one of "The 100 Most Powerful Women of Washington" in 2006 by Washingtonian magazine. Wright is a frequent spokesperson for conservative causes, including pro-life and international issues.
I think Mike brings up an important point: Why is Dawkins discussing the technicalities of Evolution with a woman who isn't a scientist or in the field? When you read about where the interview was used it becomes obvious why Dawkins would do something like this:
This interview was recorded for the Channel 4 documentary series "The Genius of Charles Darwin". The Genius of Charles Darwin is a three-part television documentary, written and presented by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins.
It was first shown in August 2008 on Channel 4. It won Best TV Documentary Series 2008 at the British Broadcast Awards in January 2009.
Given that it was used to promote Dawkins' worldview, it's not surprising to see the attempt to make people who don't think macro evolution truly explains why life is what it is on Earth and are against abortion as stupid and backward. Dawkins runs for the challenge of dialoguing with people who disagree with the conclusions he's come to yet are also scientists. Why didn't he talk to Michael Behe or Stephen C. Meyer or any of the scientists, engineers, or mathematicians that don't think all life descended from one cell. It's a lie that all educated people agree with that proposition.

Aslan is Not a Tame Lion: The Christchurch Earthquake Beyond Our Questions | MandM
In the aftermath of the second Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand, “official” Christian spokesmen were exercised to assure people that God, the Living God, had nothing to do with earthquakes. They defalcated. Their theodicy was that their god was absent. In the face of likely outrage, church officials revealed that they worship, in fact, the idol god of eighteenth century Deism, not the God of Scripture.
The article is important because it reflects a theodicy that can be implied to all of the hard questions that come up before us and that we must live through. This is a good article and worth pondering.
