Comment on Reading the Bible purely as fiction is quite entertaining
volvoxvsmarla@sopuli.xyz 17 hours agoThere are large chunks of it that are really repetitive and boring, just things like the number of goats and chickens owned by so and so.
That honestly sounds like the exposition of every character in a Wes Anderson movie

except that Anderson films use comedy and cinematography to maintain viewers’ interest in expository scenes that might otherwise feel mundane

Now I’m a little curious what a Wes Anderson Bible movie would be like. Owen Wilson can be Jesus

Bill Murray as God trying to tell Norton-Adam about sin, while Dafoe-Satan in snake form tries to convince Swinton-Eve to eat the apple. Jason Schwartzman voices the apple. Adrien Brody and Jeff Goldlbum get to be 2 of the 3 wise men, the third is just Bill Murray in another costume. Even the blood is pastel. Only 20% of the film is not stop-motion miniatures.

Bill Murray is God who is so fucking over it and just wants to hand this shit off to his son.
Jason Schwartzman is Satan trying so hard to get everybody to like him even though he sucks.
