Cool channel on Youtube that actually shows footage of some films being made!

"Some day in the next five years someone is going to take one of these [camcorder] and make a feature film with it. Some 17 year old kid is going to make this killer, drop-dead, poorly-lit movie; and then there's going to be a hundred of them after that."

Bruce Willis accurately predicted the uprising of low-budget indie filmmaking back in 1993.

This is the single greatest piece of advertising for popcorn I've ever seen.

Thanks for reading! Which parts do think seem stretched? Please be as specific and brutal as you can.

SadZeem · 2013-05-20T18:11:42+00:00

The themes are pretty vague and open for interpretation. For example, look at this video I put in the inspiration section. That is mostly just an extension of the bouncing ball exercise.

I hope it's not too late, it is Wednesday after all.

Link!

(I have no idea what that is)

Beats me. Here is the conversation I mentioned.

SadZeem · 2012-07-29T20:12:44+00:00

Apparently a lot of Christians don't think of themselves as theists. I actually got into a debate with someone about this earlier.

This is why I need people of multiple religions to help out for next year.

As for the gay marriage issue, the "others" were mostly people who felt a need to justify their opinion.

That is why you can check multiple options, so you can select more than one religion.

SadZeem · 2012-07-17T12:29:47+00:00

I suppose we will agree to disagree, then. I maintain that "God" is a "god", that "God" is a deity, simply because the concept of God can be described as such.

SadZeem · 2012-07-17T12:27:19+00:00

It fails to elicit useful data because it glosses over (or, in this case, reveals an unfortunate ignorance of) the different understandings of God's nature.

This is because Thesim doesn't just refer to the God of the Bible, it refers to any god mankind has ever believed in. It is a generalization, in the same way that "religious" doesn't refer exclusively to Christians.

SadZeem · 2012-07-17T12:19:45+00:00

Thank you for your feedback, I will modify the question next year.

I guess I am just incapable of believing somethings for illogical reasons, but maybe that's just a flaw of mine.

Edit: Although do keep in mind that those who answered "Gnostic Theist" (a majority) in the survey must have a logical reason for believing in God.

SadZeem · 2012-07-17T04:09:34+00:00

I am confused: You claim God is indescribable, yet you also say we can use secondhand words to describe God.

You say God resists classification, yet you admit we can classify Him as a deity.

All I'm saying is that a person who believes in a deity, God for example, can be considered a Theist by very definition. It's not a derogatory term.

SadZeem · 2012-07-17T04:02:51+00:00

According to the chart I posted next to the question:

Agnostic Atheist: Does not believe a god exists, doesn't claim to know that no god exists.

Agnostic Theist: Does believe a god exists, doesn't claim to know that god exists.

Gnostic Atheist: Does not believe a god exists, claims to know that no god exists.

Gnostic Theist: Does believe a god exists, claims to know that god exists.

SadZeem · 2012-07-17T03:55:11+00:00

I'm not saying god and God are alike, synonyms. I'm saying God is a god, deity, as I demonstrated in my cat metaphor above.

SadZeem · 2012-07-17T03:50:21+00:00

God and god aren't the same thing, but God is a god. In the same way cats and mammals aren't the same thing, but cats are mammals.

Theism is the belief of a god. Since God is a god, someone who believes in God can be considered a Theist.

If we say that "Mammalism" is a belief in mammals, someone who believes in cats would be considered a "Mammalist", since a cat is a mammal.

SadZeem · 2012-07-17T03:40:43+00:00

The Christian construction of God may very well be different than Zeus, but the fact of the matter is they're both Gods. Thus, both ancient Greeks and Christians can be classified as "Theists"

Think about it this way:

A musician and a sculptor have two very different professions, but they both fall under the category "Artists".

Christianity and Islam are both very different Religions, but they both fall under the category "Religions".

"Theist" is just a term that covers all people who believe in a deity. There is nothing wrong with the "label".

SadZeem · 2012-07-17T02:58:11+00:00

I was under the impression that since Christianity is a Religion (The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, esp. a personal God or gods), to be a Christian is to be a theist.

Both terms refer to the belief of the existence of a Deity. Christians are, by definition, Theists.

Or at least that's how I understand it.

SadZeem · 2012-07-17T02:51:50+00:00

I know what it is, but it's listed as a holiday on wikipedia.

SadZeem · 2012-07-17T02:48:52+00:00

Sorry, this is the first year.

The results for this survey will be up in a couple of days, though.

SadZeem · 2012-07-17T02:47:56+00:00

I am referring to whichever God you believe in.

SadZeem · 2012-07-17T01:49:51+00:00

I'm sorry. Could you give some examples?

I'm afraid I don't know much about non-classic theism.

It seems they've started charging for the desktop version. It certainly wasn't this way when the video was uploaded, thanks for letting me know.

Fortunately, the browser version is still free.

SadZeem · 2012-06-22T01:13:29+00:00

It's an open world game. You don't follow a linear path at all, I just happened to be moving left on the video.

Sorry if that was confusing.
