Some movies don’t deserve real reviews, so they get blog posts. Roger Ebert, who was accused of refusing to review Ben Stein’s creationist “documentary” Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, took to his Sun-Times “journal” (he means blog) to tear the thing to shreds.

Stein, who first made his name as a speechwriter for Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford before a minor television and movie career, hosts Expelled, which attempts to promote the theory of intelligent design and argues that, according to Ebert, “evolutionists cannot tolerate dissent.” LOL, says Ebert.

Unfortunately Ebert has not yet realized that people will not read blog entries over 100 words (who made it passed the jump, honestly?) but his all-out onslaught on Stein’s “logic” is an entertaining and compelling read, even if he drags the lede’s “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” metaphor on a little long.

Eventually in Expelled, and in Ebert’s review, Nazism comes front and center. (Stein reportedly wanted to call the doc From Darwin to Hitler.) Stein visits a concentration camp, and essentially blames evolutionary theory for the atrocities. Ebert in his kicker, in case you don’t make it that far:

“It’s difficult to describe how it felt to walk through such a haunting place,” he says. Oh, go ahead, Ben Stein. Describe. It filled you with hatred for Charles Darwin and his followers, who represent the overwhelming majority of educated people in every nation on earth. It is not difficult for me to describe how you made me feel by exploiting the deaths of millions of Jews in support of your argument for a peripheral Christian belief. It fills me with contempt.

KO.
