Wash ,'The Message'
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.
After the titular protagonist gets her first period at school, her crazy, devoutly Christian mother locks her in a closet and tells her to pray, explaining that only sinners menstruate (Wikipedia says this is false).
Hee!
And, oh my God, wow. That clip from The Canterbury Tales is one of the strangest things I've ever seen.
Kids on Fire School of Ministry, a children's Bible camp
I... know that there are flavors of religion who are big with the imagery, but generally speaking, KIDS ON FIRE is not the kind of advertising you want for your summer camp. Especially not when the kids (and one assumes their parents) have a thing for literal interpretation.
Just me?

Let's just say Pasollini had an "interesting" take on the world and leave it at that.
I just can't wrap my brain around Dogma being one of the most anti-Christian movies of all time. I had to read the description twice to be sure they were talking about the movie I thought they were.

But hey, they're on fire for Jesus!
That's all well and good till the Fire Department starts investigating.
Well if Jesus can turn water into wine I'm sure He can also alter CSI evidence.
Or if nothing else, stigmata look like defensive wounds.
What circle of Hell will I need to be changing my address book entries to?
Back from seeing The Golden Compass which I liked a lot. Emmett liked it too. The main problem was that it was too short. It crammed too much action in and didn't really let the story or characters breathe.
ita, I think you should see it. You'll love the bear fight (which provoked an audible "Whoa!" in the audience) and the Witches.
I haven't read the books, though I know the main plot point at the end which didn't happen. The ending did feel truncated.
The acting and design and effects were spectacular though. The London they imagine is based on Christopher Wren's plans for rebuilding London after the fire.
Emmett tends to watch movies referring to actors by the role he knows them best in. So for him the role call was: James Bond, Saruman, Gandalf and Virgil (from Tombstone).
