So, this film is out in the US now I think and I guess it will be here soon.

Anyone seen it? Know how well it's doing? In a way it's surprising that there haven't been more things like this so far. After Gibson made a huge success out of the Passion of The Christ (despite the naysayers) one would have thought that lots more mainstreamish films would be coming out pandering explicitly to a right-wing Christian audience. If this does well maybe there will be loads more of this stuff.
Also some of this stuff sounds not just like propaganda but incredibly and unnecessarily vicious

"Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is a controversial 2008 film hosted by Ben Stein. The film claims that what it calls "Big Science" suppresses criticism of the scientific theory of evolution, while portraying that theory as having contributed to the rise of the Nazi Holocaust, communism, atheism and Planned Parenthood. The film also claims that American educators and scientists who believe that there might be evidence of intelligent design in nature are being persecuted for these beliefs.
While a number of conservative and Christian media outlets have given it favorable reviews, the general media response has been largely unfavorable, and the science community's response to it has been unanimously negative, asserting that it is propaganda."

What argument are they gonna make for that? A worrying development anyway I think."Intelligent design proponents are also shown, including David Berlinski who raises the claim that Darwinism influenced the Nazis. Stein then tours sites of Nazi atrocities emotively describing the nightmare he implies was due to Darwinism."
