I have no desire whatsoever to see the movie Noah, but this plot element perplexes me:
Noah’s daughter-in-law is played by Emma Watson. During one of the battle scenes, just as a grubby ruffian is about to brain her with a club, she picks up a stick, points it at the man, and shouts, “Stupefy!” As he crumples unconscious to the ground, she winks knowingly at the camera.
This isn’t in the Bible. It’s not in any midrash or commentary. I can only think this is some kind of Harry Potter reference?
Weird.
I think you’ll find you’ve been poed. At the end of Waldman’s (very funny) American Prospect list, to which you link, there’s this: “Actually, that last one is probably true.”
It is a HP reference, but you do know that whole article you link to is fake, right? I can’t tell if your confusion is real or also a joke :/
Fundie atheists are as notorious for their senses of humor as are the fundie christers.
:\ indeed.
