Talk Origins wants to buy Expelled. Can you help them?
Posted by Greg Laden on June 25, 2011 Apparently, when you make a movie, there’s this box of stuff left over that someone has to own. It can include things like the original unedited film/video, from which the director and editors selected/cherry picked what they wanted to include, as well as various correspondences and documents and stuff. The company that produced that horrid…
Expelled (The Movie) Out of Hot Water from Ono Law Suit
Posted by Greg Laden on October 10, 2008 After both the state and federal courts rejected the attempts of Yoko Ono Lennon and EMI Records to enjoin the showing of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed on the ground it used a 15-second fragment of John Lennon’s Imagine, all of the plaintiffs in both cases have now withdrawn their claims and dismissed their cases.

Expelled! Private Screening for Politicians. How nice.
Posted by Greg Laden on June 11, 2008 This just in: Perhaps he was inspired by the turnout for Young People Fucking, or maybe he misses all that media attention he got after taking credit for getting C-10 through the House with nary a peep over the controversial changes to the film tax rebate. Whatever the reason, Reverend Charles McVety is headed back…
Ono: I Want To Just Say No
Posted by Greg Laden on May 22, 2008 Update on the Ono Law Suit … As you most certainly know, Yoko Ono and her two sons have sued the producers of Expelled! for their use without permission of the song Imagine by John Lennon. Well, it appears as though a ruling from the court is imminent. AP is lubing the shoots with a…
Jason Rosenhouse is a Creationist!
Posted by Greg Laden on May 8, 2008 You Can’t Hide …I landed a job in Kansas. Finally, a state with some horse sense! But even here the Darwinian octopus had insinuated its fetid tentacles, depriving the good and open-minded high school students of the state the right hear to both sides of the story. Even when they provided a forum for polite…
Poll Expelled! By Ben Stein
Posted by Greg Laden on April 29, 2008 Expelled!, the so called documentary, has a web site on MySpace. Recently they ran a poll asking if Intelligent Design should be taught in schools or not. The results of that poll overwhelming indicate “no” … with 420 thousand “nay” votes and fewer than one thousand in favor of violating the tenets of the Constitution…

Flock of Dodos
Posted by Greg Laden on April 27, 2008 With all this talk about Expelled!, the creationist movie, I thought it was about time to resurrect the review I wrote many moons ago of Flock of Dodos by Randy Olson, along with some updated information. Flock of Dodos is a much better film than Expelled!, and explores the same issue, with somewhat different conclusions.…
Expelled! Induced Conversations and the Future of Science, Medicine and Hollywood
Posted by Greg Laden on April 23, 2008 Despite the fact that the producers of Expelled! have the most nefarious of motives in mind, and that we can expect more from them (we are waiting for the other shoe to drop), it is interesting to note how many conversations this documentary about Intelligent Design Creationism has sparked. Ultimately, the intended purpose of Expelled!…
