Didn't they also do a bit where you can be a real man's man by choosing a short male first name and a hard substance for a last name. Crow was something like "Jake Tungsten".
Yeah, and Tom chose "Rick Drywall" or some such. Tad Beefcake! Don Granit! Biff Strongbody!...hey, this is fun!...

My main gripe with the Left Behind series is that I do think that most of what the books describe will happen (although their interpretations are sketchy in some instances), but that they're soooooooo bad that they're just inviting ridicule and disbelief. The fact that the series was initially planned as a series of seven novels (one for each Tribulation year) but then was extended to TWELVE... not to mention the dubious prequel novels...
At the northern Baptist church I attend, the membership is pretty much divided into Those Who Actually Think "Left Behind" Are Good Books and Those Who Think "Hey, At Least It's Spreading The Word". I'm rather proud of my own status as an extremist radical one of Those Who Won't Touch 'Em With A Ten-Foot Pole.
Just thought I'd mention that "Judgement" actually belongs to another series of post-rapture films produced by the same studio, one "Cloud Ten Productions." The films in the series range from gut-wrenchingly pitable, like a deformed puppy, to tolerable on at least a technical level. I've really got to get a review of these going one day.
