Fear God
by thateagleguy on 3/15/11The Midland by AMC - Kansas CityRating: 5 out of 5This was a once in a lifetime situation. Kevin Smith invited the Phelps family to the show. They had stated they (the Westborow Baptist Church) would be protesting the show as they had at Sundance. Kevin Smith when asked; "Why would you invite them inside the show?" stated it was the Christian thing to do. When asked again later on said; "Who would not want to watch Star Wars with Darth Vader in the audience with you?" The plan was that Kevin would share the stage with one of the Phelps family in a Q&A after the movie. Said member left with the rest of the protesting arm of the church before even 15 into the movie. However, two members of the family that have left the church did stay for the entire showing and worked their way to the front of the Q&A line. Kevin invited the two onstage and the self labeled "Black Sheep" of the Phelps clan had an interview with him. Very enlightening hearing their accounts and views and how they see the world differently now from their family.
