Open in new tabs for high res. Prometheus world premiere at the Empire Leicester Square on May 31, 2012 in London, England.
This is an enormous chain and I’m sorry, but I need to say this:
The laws in the Old Testament were set forth by god as the rules the Hebrews needed to follow in order to be righteous, to atone for the sin of Adam and Eve and to be able to get into Heaven. That is also why they were required to make sacrifices, because it was part of the appeasement for Original Sin.
According to Christian theology, when Jesus came from Heaven, it was for the express purpose of sacrificing himself on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. His sacrifice was supposed to be the ultimate act that would free us from the former laws and regulations and allow us to enter Heaven by acting in his image. That is why he said “it is finished” when he died on the cross. That is why Christians don’t have to circumcise their sons (god’s covenant with Jacob), that is why they don’t have to perform animal sacrifice, or grow out their forelocks, or follow any of the other laws of Leviticus.
When you quote Leviticus as god’s law and say they are rules we must follow because they are what god or Jesus wants us to do, what you are really saying, as a Christian, is that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was invalid. He died in vain because you believe we are still beholden to the old laws. That is what you, a self-professed good Christian, are saying to your god and his son, that their plan for your salvation wasn’t good enough for you.
So maybe actually read the thing before you start quoting it, because the implications of your actions go a lot deeper than you think.

I bought a new flat about two years ago. In the bathroom there are two sinks, I thought that would bring me some joy. It is a constant reminder…so this is what I’m doing now…

Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie reunite for a big screen animation
The duo, who last performed together 13 years ago, will turn out for “The Canterville Ghost.” based on Oscar Wilde’s story.
Former comedy duo Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie are to re-unite for the first time in 13 years to lend their voice skills to CG animated movie project The Canterville Ghost.
The duo, now two of the biggest stars on the small screen on both sides of the Atlantic, will play opposite each other in the adaptation of the classic story from Oscar Wilde.
Fry stars as the title character, Sir Simon de Canterville, a 300 year old ghost, while Laurie stars as his nemesis, a lowly gardener who is revealed to be Death himself.
Set in rural England at the end of the nineteenth century, it tells the tale of Canterville who, for hundreds of years has been haunting Canterville Chase. Everything changes when an American family - the Otises from Boston - buys Canterville Chase and moves in.
Director Kim Burdon said the project would be CG animated rather than stop-capture likeness and is based on an adaptation penned by Keiron Self and Giles New.
The film is being produced by Gina Carter and Robert Chandler as a Melmoth Films production making it a co-production between Fry’s own Sprout Pictures Film and Jerry Hibbert’s startup animation company D’Arblay Films. Hibbert, Bob Benton and Fry will all take executive producer credits.
Plans are for it to be animated in London and Toronto, with direction, designs and storyboards from D’Arblay Films in the U.K. and CG animation from Arc Productions, the studio behind Shane Acker’s9 and Rocket Pictures’ Gnomeo & Juliet, in Canada.
Producers are shopping the project as a family feature and are aiming for a worldwide release Christmas 2014, buyer-willing.
The project’s development has been backed by the BFI Film Fund.
