Press Releases and Film News / Re: Well, if AI says this is t...
Last post by Rev. Powell - Today at 09:24:58 AMIndy, you'll be happy to learn that AI agrees with you (when you query it in a neutral manner). I asked Copilot "Do any reputable historians argue that the historical Jesus was never crucified?"
Answer:
No, virtually all reputable historians—Christian, secular, and otherwise—agree that Jesus of Nazareth was crucified. In fact, his crucifixion under the Roman prefect Pontius Pilate is one of the most widely accepted facts about his life.
🔍 Scholarly Consensus
• The crucifixion is one of only two events in Jesus's life that enjoys "almost universal assent" among historians (the other being his baptism by John the Baptist).
• This consensus spans scholars of all backgrounds, including skeptics and atheists. Bart Ehrman, a prominent secular scholar, has stated: "He certainly existed, as virtually every competent scholar of antiquity, Christian or non-Christian, agrees".
• Non-Christian sources like Tacitus and Josephus also reference Jesus's execution, lending further historical weight.
🧠 What About Alternative Theories?
• A few fringe theorists and mythicists (like proponents of the "Jesus myth theory") have questioned whether Jesus existed at all or whether the crucifixion occurred. However, these views are not supported by mainstream scholarship.
• The overwhelming majority of historians reject these theories due to the abundance of early sources and corroborating evidence.

Last post by zombie no.one - Today at 09:10:18 AMYeah these kind of lists always get a bit messy, when trying to pidgeonhole stuff... nothing is at stake here so it's fine to leave some of this stuff in limbo I guess.

Last post by M.10rda - Today at 08:57:49 AMHELLRAISER '22 isn't a remake. The stories are completely distinct with different human characters and some different cenobites. (A new performer plays Pinhead.) It's just another HELLRAISER movie branded as a reboot.
THE THING '11 has its moments, but a lot of those moments are based on moments from Carpenter's THING, but then at the end it reveals itself to be a prequel. That doesn't make much sense (and nothing about the film's design says 1981) so I'd call it a (subpar) hybrid remake/prequel.
TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN is, iirc, quite "meta" as AI indicated. It takes place in the 21st century (instead of the 1940s or 1976) and acknowledges that the events in the previous movie really happened (which, if I am not mistaken, they actually did, historically speaking), and I think the '76 movie is also A Movie in the diegetic reality of the '14 movie. So that seems like a reboot or sequel to me and not a remake, but you split those hairs as you please!
