  1. I loved this movie. I wish they would release it on Blu-ray in the US. I'll buy it in a heartbeat.

  2. Wait? Download links? Is this legal?

  3. It is not illegal to link to something.  If the owners of the material wish for it to be removed they issue DMCA take down notices to the sites which actually host the content.

  4. Small things like having links to illegal downloads reflects poorly on the rationalist movement. As I am morally opposed to this, I ask you to please take down these links.

  5. Is this being released in theatres in English soon or was it already?

  6. from: http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/Biographies/Hypatia.html

    "<span>What certainly seems indisputable is that she was murdered by Christians who felt threatened by her scholarship, learning, and depth of scientific knowledge<span>"</span></span>
    "<span>Whatever the precise motivation for the murder, the departure soon afterward of many scholars marked the beginning of the decline of Alexandria as a major centre of ancient learning.<span>"</span></span>

    Those fucking christians. Enemies of reason since their conception it seems.

  7. Small things like asking others to follow your personal moral objection also reflect poorly on rationalist movements.

  9. I know - but that was the original release.  I was asking if this trailer in English was something new or not.  Sometimes it takes a while before a film is re-released in other countries with language dubs or subtitles.

  10. The film adaptation took some creative liberties in depicting history, but it was extremely enjoyable. The fact that Christians think this movie slanders Christianity is a testament to their ignorance. It's silly that they would choose to believe Christianity was always a peaceful force of good. War and violence is the reason Christianity has 2.1 billion adherents today.
