Cordelia ,'Beneath You'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I am oddly defensive about Dogma and her appearance as God in it. I get weepy at that movie, and that scene in particular.
(It's the standing on her head, smelling the flowers, and the nose tweak that get me)
I'm with you, Sean. It's the only version of God I can plausibly accept -- a God who ENJOYS her creation (and skeeball!), who lets the people she created fuck up big time, and who gets sad when they fuck up so badly.
Brilliant movie. Totally brilliant.
I liked Alanis as God, too. And I could think Morgan Freeman is God, too, although I think. if God is a man, he speaks like Andre Braugher or James Earl Jones. Oh, no, sacreligious "Jesus, I am your Father!" image.

Join me, Jesus, and together we can destroy the Holy Spirit and rule the galaxy!
Joseph never told you who about your father, did he?
He told me enough! He told me you killed him!
Oh, great, y'all, pave my road to hell, why don't ya?

It's okay. Jesus has a sense of humor. No wait, that's Buddha.
Jesus liked to party, after all he did turn the water into wine at the wedding. Which is one of the many questions I have for Baptists who don't go for drinking and dancing--Jesus did it, so what's so wrong?
I just wish it wasn't so much like, well, mine. Sometimes.

"What would Jesus do?"
"Jesus would PARTY!"
