Sean Hannity discusses his and Kevin Sorbo's upcoming film "Let There Be Light"

[benjipwns]

Did you see, I did not watch the Oscars, because I knew it was going to be bad.

Yeah, okay, so I knew it was going to be bad, and I read all the headlines this morning. There’s such contempt, seriously. Movies are trivial. They’re formulaic. These movies are, you know, how many more cartoon character movies are we going to see? I mean, they’re fine. I don’t have a problem with just pure entertainment.

The movies that I like the most touch my heart.

The movies that I like the most move me.

The movies that I like the most make me think.

And I just, I got involved with this with Kevin Sorbo and Sam Sorbo. Sam Sorbo and a guy by the name of Dan Gordon came in my office one day. They told me this script. I was blown away by it, and I said I want to be a part of this. I want to, not to be in the movie. I’m in the movie, but that’s not why I did it. It’s a very small part. But it’s the message of the movie, and it’s a story about very contemporary, where you have a guy that wrote a book, Aborting God.

And the movie starts out, there is a debate scene going on like you’d see on a college campus today. And the guy that is the atheist is beating the living daylights out of the guy that humbly is a Christian. And the crowd is going crazy, and everything that this guy says, he’s a glitterati, paparazzi, New York Times-loved best author. And so we go through the transformation of his life, and certain things happen to him, without giving the whole story away. We see that he left his wife, that he’s divorced, that he’s taking pills, that he’s drinking, his life’s a total mess. And one of the reasons is he had lost a nine year old little boy. He has an experience where he crashes his car, near death, sees his son, and it’s a journey back. But there’s a lot of twists and turns in the journey as it relates…

It really grabbed me. There’s no other way to do it. When I saw the rough cut, I’ve not seen the final cut of the movie, yet. I showed it to ten people. Didn’t even let them know I was involved in the movie. Every one of them laughed, every one of them cried, every one of them was touched by it, every one of them was moved by it.

from a couple months ago FEATURING SNEAK PEAK OF HANNITY'S SCENE:

I’ve got every single channel. I’ve got Showtime, every one. I’ve got Cinemax, every one. I’ve got On Demand, every one, HBO, Flix. You name it, I’ve got the channel. I’ve got a satellite, the full package, 570-so many channels.

We did block the X rated channels, by the way, for those of you out there that think I’m a pervert. No. But we did block those. So, and how many times at night, Hugh, do I flip every channel, I go through every single channel, and I can’t find one thing to watch.

That man's name? Alfred Eisenstein.

That man's name? Alfred Eisenstein.

and now you know the rest of the story.

"Let There be Strawmen"

[Great Rumbler]

Isn't this basically just a rip-off of God is [Not] Dead?

[benjipwns]

yeah, i was suspicious about where he got the great plot idea too

[bluemax]

Isn't this just a Chick tract?

[seagrams hotsauce]

Aborting God would be a pretty rad thrash band

[benjipwns]

I saw Aborting God when they set the stage on fire at Headhunters in Austin.

[Kara]

Aborting God... you mean like Cronus?

I gotta say, Sean Hannity might be my favorite comedian ever.  When I go home for the day, he's usually on the radio and I always crack up laughing at his schtick.  He makes the Colbert Report version of Stephen Colbert look tame.   

I've heard rumors that he's actually not joking and is serious about what he says, but I don't believe that for a second. Nobody could be that outrageous and stupid for real.

Well...maybe that's why you can't find anything to watch?
