Spike ,'Chosen'
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 think most churches that use wine use fortified wine, because it doesn't go bad as quickly when exposed to air.
Probably depends on the size of the church. I used to go to the cathedral here in SLC, and they went thru quite a bit - no real reason to worry about spoilage.
Wow. Never heard that one. Growing up Southern Baptist, I was always told Jesus turned the water into wine because there were no other options. If coke/pop/soda had existed, he would have turned it into that instead.
What, He could look forward to the Meek inheriting the Earth and the end times, but the secret formula of Coca Cola was too well-protected a truth for Him to be let in on?
Anne's church experience was the same as mine growing up Presbyterian—they taught the Bible verses as wine, but no way were they going to be slipping mickeys to Sunday school students.

When I was an altar boy, only the priest got any wine, so even with three Masses a day plus more on Sunday, a bottle would hang around a few days, anyway.
Growing up Lutheran -- communion involved wine. And in our congregation, the kids were confirmed (and thus able to take communion) in 8th grade.
'Course, this was when the drinking age was 18, so wine at 13 was a little less extremely underage than it is today, but still.
Going to see Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants tonight.
Shall let you all know how it is.
Am very excited.
Am not actually a teenage girl, despite all online appearances.

That's . . . . odd. Although I do distinctly recall that my father would polish off the rest of what was consecrated, since you couldn't just pour it down the drain.
And this has to do with movies because . . . . someone here is writing a screenplay, or will someday, and, hey, research, right?
Dancing, of course, is bad because it inevitably leads to The Sex.
Not the way *I* dance, it doesn't....
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants:
In short, I absolutely loved it. The acting was amazing, and the script kept all of the heart that makes the book so good even as it changed details to improve the flow, except for the part that they rewrote completely in a way that vastly improved on the original.
I cried many times.
It was definitely one of the best adaptations of a young adult book I've seen, and in this case the source material is good enough that it led to a truly excellent young adult drama. It's sentimental and romantic, a Lifetime movie made much better, so avoid it if you hate such things. Otherwise, you really owe it to yourself to see this gem.
If you've read the book or just want to read my detailed thoughts on the film, check out my latest LJ entry. It's a tad spoilery, but it almost certainly doesn't matter.
Am I the only one who looks at Depp's Willy Wonka and is reminded of Parker Posey, especially as she looked/sounded in some parts of Josie and the Pussy Cats?
