It's been forever since I've actually read the Bible for anything other than a quick reference of Leviticus to laugh at.

Wow, all those years of Catholic school, wearing those ridiculous plaid jumpers and going to church twice a week have finally paid off. Hosanna! I've found glory in an Internet quiz.

You know the Bible 88%!
 

Wow! You are awesome! You are a true Biblical scholar, not just a hearer but a personal reader! The books, the characters, the events, the verses - you know it all! You are fantastic!

You know, every time my boyfriend and I saw ads for this we'd ask each other if it was a Guy Ritchie flick since it's a lot like his style. It isn't, but as I'd said the styles are very much alike.

I'll probably catch this just before it hits DVD.

While sitting in the office and my boss (school newspaper adviser) was teaching the newspaper class next door and suddenly the power blows and all the electricity at school went out. I walked into the hallway, lined with classrooms, and shouted, "Happy Amish Appreciation Day!!"

Incidentally the power was out all over campus for about 45 minutes.

It's a challenge. Challenges not only make you stronger once you've conquered them, they give you some great memories to look back on. Sure, they might not be pleasant, but think of all the fun you'll have working on the play.

Also where's the fun in doing only parts you like? This takes ACTING. Hell, do it right and it could turn into your best performance yet.

What play are you performing, and what part did you get?

I'm in agreement with Xeo.

I liked it a lot, and all of the fantasy scenes were definitely grand in nature and visually stunning, but it's quite funny how the trailers, ads and synopses conveniently leave out the real world storyline featuring the tyrannical step-father seemingly lifted from the Nazi rampage scenes from "Schindler's List."

While this captured a brutal world with great panache, the ending did not satisfy the rest of the movie, thus making it a tragedy regardless of the so-called happy ending. Understandly, not all films can be upbeat, a moviemaker should not sell out to please the whole, this was probably one of the more depressing films I've ever seen.

Good grief.

It's a masterpiece, but were I to watch it again on DVD I'd skip to the scenes featuring Pan or the "Pale Man." The rest either dragged or went onto different tangents that were seriously unnecessary (guy with leg wound, torture, etc. There's a reason for DVD special features. Hmm?). Again I return to, while not all movies can be love, luck and lollipops, I'd rather just concentrate on the fantasy aspect in this one which really was spectacular.


EDIT:

Oh, and something else to throw in there:

In Our effort to keep this list up to date we'd appreciate your help. If you know of a band that is Gay or propogating a Gay message please email us so we can update. Donnie is handling this his email is: donniedavies@gmail.com

The response is overwhelming. You guys know of a lot more Gay Bands than I do. I can't keep up. Hopefully soon we'll have it so you can add them by yourself.

They forgot Fall Out Boy.

And their list of "safe bands":

We know that it can be difficult to differentiate what is good or bad for your child. With that in mind Love God's Way has created this powerful tool to let you see some bands and entertainment that is safe for your children.

Safe Music:


* Dresden Dolls
* UnderOath
* Cyndi Lauper
* Falling Up
* Flyleaf
* THE TURNING
* Disciple
* P.O.D
* Evanescence
* By The Tree
* Scott Reed
* Michael W. Smith
* Jars of Clay
* DC Talk
* Danielson


Amusingly, Creed's not on the list.

I'm sure this is a joke, or this person's very naive and easily taken advantage of by people who want to add bands they hate.

You know, I think it's really open-ended and meant for the audience to interpret what they want when it comes to if the fantasy was real or not.

The whole movie has this general theme of innocence during war, and it's in Ofelia's innocence that she sees the things she does. Perhaps it's even her way of coping with the harsh realities around her and it's all in her head.

Spoiler:
One can argue that when Captain Vidal saw nothing while Ofelia was talking with the Faun/satyr at the end, it was either in her head or he just wasn't pure enough to see the magical world she could, moreso that she was of their world and he wasn't so that's why she'd see it and he wouldn't.

Other things to break-down:

Task 1: The tree is shaped like a uterus and she goes in seeking the toad, its invader, who feeds off of the creatures in the tree and in turn is killing it. This symbolizes her unborn brother's harming her mother and her wanting this to stop.

Task 2: Like you said, Belial, the Pale Man represents Vidal and his storeroom and that dinner party that he through with the rich people from the town. I think you pretty much nailed the explanation of it. Add to that the Pale Man's hunger for babies, much like the captain's push for having a son despite everything.

The mandrake, the plant that wanted to be human, made the same motions as the mother as she laid in bed.

Another thing I noticed, though it's not vital to the story, the spirally etching in the ground that caught Ofelia's blood is exactly like the one in Hellboy that Ilsa and Kroenan used to resurrect Rasputin by killing their guide in the mountains and letting the blood flow through the etching in much the same fashion that's presented in Pan's Labyrinth. Both films were directed by Guillermo del Toro.

I don't know if the symbol appears in other movies that he's done (Blade II, etc), but it's funny that it shows up here.


Really, while it was billed as a fantasy, the movie's more of a war film with fantasy interlaced into it.

I joked about Cole Porter being on the list, saying that if you're listening to Cole Porter you were probably already gay to begin with. (Cole Porter wrote the music for many successful musicals . Though he was married, he did swing more gay)

I was amazed they put Dresden Dolls on the safe list really. They perform with emo bands and I wouldn't have considered them Christian-friendly.

I'm amused that they didn't include a list of bands and singers who encourage women's lib and lesbianism.

That would bring in all of the ladies who ever did Lilith Fair, and MANY gay men attend these functions.

Meh, I guess since lesbianism's often more accepted in society, it's only our little boys we should worry about, right?

But the video. That's hysterical.

Back when the first Blue Collar DVD came out, and my friend and his family used to watch it all the time when I came to visit, I never understood why Larry the Cable Guy was so funny for people. And then he got worse over the years.

OK, it makes a little more sense. They were filming a commercial.

The other part of that video: http://www.flicklife.com/adfdaf0e8d4cc25129f9/Tiger_Woods_talks_about_tackling_a_guy.html

It's still pretty funny. I thought that was an actual clip of someone trying to steal his clubs and Tiger taking that bitch out.

It's just going to be another annual pop culture parody film like all the others that just happens to feature a few epic movies.

The parodies started out pure with Scary Movie and Not Another Teen Movie, but then they boiled down to just making fun of anything they could to get a cheap laugh.


Scary Movie 3 -- what do Eminem and Matrix have to do with horror flicks?

Date Movie -- Pimp My Ride?!

Epic Movie -- Borat? Paris Hilton? The ever tired Michael Jackson rip?


Please.

So when is someone going to exploit the easy and yet goldmine possibility of "Ben Stiller Movie"?

Posted on 01-29-07 02:12 PM, in What book would you swear on? Link
Recently a Congressman, Keith Ellison, was sworn in on a Quran instead of a Bible, by his request, because as a Muslim the Bible would obviously mean nothing to him were he to swear in on it.

Article: http://wcco.com/topstories/local_story_004160601.html

Prior to the oath-taking, there was much controversy among conservatives who believed that Ellison should swear on the Bible because all Congresspeople before him had (which isn't true as someone swore by the Hebrew Bible in 2005). Some had said that this would encourage Muslim extremists and undermine the American way.

Article
Another article
There were more articles before with more of what the conservatives and other Congresspeople said, but I can't find them. One Congressman had made the suggestion that this would make for all sorts of crazy things people would want to swear on: Jews on the Torah, Buddhists on the I Ching, atheists and agnostics on Darwin's Origin of the Species, it goes on.


So what book or item (opening it up to include items) do you feel permeates your soul (should you believe in one or not) enough to swear by it?

Any and all books, publications, and tangible items (your children, favorite DVD, a bucket of chicken, etc) are open for the choosing.

Posted on 01-30-07 08:12 PM, in Dealing with suicide Link
I hate to be a bitch on such a sensitive topic for some people, but I'm really tired of the suicide topic coming up all the friggin' time. Especially since it's become so trendy to have issues.

First off, suicides happen because:
1) those who do it feel they are in a world they cannot control and the one thing they can is whether they live or die, thus they make the ultimate decision dictated by their own free will,
2) these people live in a world of "if only"s in which they think "if only I had more of this" or "if only I could be that" and they dwell on the way things should be in their eyes rather than the way they are and do not have a true grasp on reality,
3) they just haven't grown up.

Look, whoever this person is, whatever you tell them they're going to go on about how hopeless they feel they are and possibly push you away. They're going to have to hit rock bottom before they realize anything and have that moment of clarity. And what's more when people do commit suicide it's when they're in the process of getting better; that's when you have to watch them.

People who claim to be suicidal are often full of shit. Heck, were you to threaten his/her life, they'd be fighting you off as best they could to save what they've been claiming they want to end themselves in the first place.

In the end, this requires tough love and several doses of reality. Send them to support groups where people who have actually attempted suicide are talking and crying their eyes out (here's some suicide hot-line numbers http://suicidehotlines.com/). Whoever this person is, their life can't POSSIBLY be any worse than those who live in third world countries--People who have to fight to survive and live off of the barest of necessities every day.

Whatever despair this person is claiming to be in, they need to wake up. Fishing for attention (as most who claim impending plans of suicide are actually doing) through means of playing your sympathy is selfish and evil.
