Religulous
Get flash to fully experience Pearltrees
Voila! Finally, the Religulous script is here for all you fans of the Bill Maher documentary. This puppy is a transcript that was painstakingly transcribed using the screenplay and/or viewings of the movie to get the dialogue. I know, I know, I still need to get the cast names in there and all that jazz, so if you have any corrections, feel free to drop me a line . At least you'll have some Religulous quotes (or even a monologue or two) to annoy your coworkers with in the meantime, right? And swing on back to Drew's Script-O-Rama afterwards -- because reading is good for your noodle.

The Case Against Religulous — Taking Quotes Out of Context - Steven Waldman
Good Bye Today is my last day at Beliefnet (which I co-founded in 1999). The swirling emotions: sadness, relief, love, humility, pride, anxiety.
Bill Maher has never been a subtle man, and as a self proclaimed atheist, and a mean spirited one at that, Maher creates an enclosing grid around himself and his subjects. The documentary itself covers most religions, and most aspects of them, including a religious resort, a trucker chapel, and he even travels around the globe to view religion in Amsterdam, Jerusalem, Vatican City, and the high rising Mormon temple in Salt Lake City. I don't want to say the interviews were biased, because he seemingly conducted himself with some ardent respect for many subjects who were willing to have a sense of humor, but at times he asked questions that only served to hurt them. Still, the interviews, I believed, were solid. What makes this a Bill Maher circus tent kind of film is the editing. He makes the conservatives and rabble rousers look like morons, and then, on top of everything, edits in things from films and television, and all sorts of mediums as a kind of comic relief.
