Thoughts on Invention of Lying?

I liked it to a point and I always like Gervais but it would have been ultimately less annoying if it stayed more the "look I can get you out of drunk driving" sort of thing than turning the whole last part of the movie into an anti-organized religion sort of thing.
The film was far too light weight to be able to pull something that heavy off effectively.

I thought you were about to go onto another tirade about the allocation of Ed Norton's talents. On the opposite side of the spectrum from you, I went into that film thinking it was going to be mostly quirky light humor. So I was a bit surprised when they ultimately had to invent religion as a consequence of a fib. I personally thought it was brilliant to tie the two together and it made the film a lot more memorable than it would have been otherwise. I took it in like a deconstruction.
OK, well nice talking to you Idol, let's never do this again.
