In terms of pouring a glass of water into an active volcano (frequented by aliens?), a $10 million final domestic gross for Religulous will be seen as a success.

Larry Charles' Religulous is a film I've been looking forward to since the project was first announced. I have a few confessions: I loved Charles' Borat and I've been an avid viewer of Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect over the years.

It is going to be quite fun watching film critics in the MSM tackle Religulous, the anti-religions (re: not anti-organized religions) documentary from director Larry Charles (Borat) and Bill Maher.
