Probably depends on the size of the church.
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.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Ann, that's a ferret.
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.

Hey. New board.
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.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

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?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Dancing, of course, is bad because it inevitably leads to The Sex.
Not the way *I* dance, it doesn't....

Hey. New board.
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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
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?
