I came back from Hellboy II and it was awesome.

I loved Elling!  I think it's the only Norwegian movie I've ever seen.  Are there many more like that?

Went and saw The Dark Knight today, great movie.  It made me so sad about Heath Ledger...

I was Wall-E today, and thought it was a really sweet story.  It should be watched with someone you can hold hands with.  I saw it alone.

I so agree!  And, yes, I was alone as well...

"How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days"

OMG, rofl... the beginning and end were kinda blah and predictable, but most of it is hysterical, lol...

But I can't imagine anyone being so clingy, melodramatic and overly emotional and obessive like that!

Hey, waitasec...

;)

(yes, I took notes, lol)

Destry Rides Again, starring Jimmy Stewart and Marlene Deitrich.  Very fun western released in 1939, just before the world turned to ->-bleeped-<-.  Very funny.  The thing O ;ove about 30s films is they have these incredible old character actors. the like of which we've not seen since.

Got to love Marlene. My word.

I just tried to watch David Lynch's "Blue Velvet" yesterday, but i found it too disturbing and didn't want that stuff in my head so I stopped it and returned it. I love his "Mulholland Drive", it is one of my all time favorites, so I thought I'd try BV. But, ick, no thank you.

Stealth, at the movies

We saw "Brick Lane" & Brideshead Revisited" this weekend. They were both excellent and feeling/thought-provoking.

Particularly the last one. My partner was raised RC & we talked, for about on hour on the drive through and outta Philly after seeing it, about the way we view the way Catholicism molds people. How, when you're Catholic or Jewish there are cultural as well as religious elements that get very deeply ingrained.

I'm of the opinion that RCs never quite "give up" Catholicism when they leave. Nor really have to. You're born into a community and although you may go away that community is always waiting for you to return, even at death's door after years of being lapsed.

I don't believe that after maybe the first couple of generations that effect applies to most Protestants, Amish probably excepted. The "priesthood of all believers" kinda makes everyone realize their innate lonliness in a way that Catholicism never does. It also makes a kind of positive of "going one's own way," community is what one makes it and is okay because, well, everyone has their own view.

Catholicism seems to me much more thorough-going from cradle to grave, so to speak.

Anyhow, two thumbs up for both movies. Good production values as well. :)

Yeah you can be a 'recovering catholic' or a 'lapsed catholic' but a true ex-catholic is rare.

:) 'zactly. And with very sure and tried reasons why. Not much in the western world has an unbroken heritage of 2000 years, figuring from about 125 CE when the bishops took control exclusively. That's a very long train to stop, or to get off of when it's humming along without killing yourself.

And even then there are prayers and intercessions that mitigate the damage. The West's most tight-knit indigenous community, imo.

Ya know the Catholic Church, 'come for the architecture and stained glass, stay for the scholastic choir.'  I sure don't believe the creed, or the doxology or the dogma, but its ok, one of my best friends is a priest, I'm still considered a member of a Catholic order (different from a parish church) and I tell the priest there "I don't believe" and he says "no problem, we all have a crisis of faith" and I'm like "It's been going on for 30 years now" and Father X says "Hey, no one said they were overnight deals."  So I hang out, I like to sit in the deep shadows of the Gothic church (that real Gothic Architecture, not a church with tight pants and eyeliner) and sit in the near total quite and wait, who knows god might talk to me someday.  However as Father X says "There are people with much larger problems then you have, so you might have to wait a bit."

Along those lines, and its really only going to work for people raised real Catholic, watch Dogma, with Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Linda Fiorentino, Alan Rickman, Bud Cort, Salma Hayek, Chris Rock, Jason Lee, Jason Mewes, George Carlin, Janeane Garofalo and Alanis Morissette.  Its very funny.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space, then The Eye. Killer Klowns is an absolute classic... if you haven't seen it, please do. The whole thing was filmed in Santa Cruz, CA, the place I claim as home, and it's so far from the typical horror or comedy or... anything....

The Eye was, amazingly, much better than I thought it would be. I can't stand Jessica Alba, but she did a good job, and the story was great. Not the typical horror film... more just a suspense/mystery with a really endearing ending. I think, apart from The Ring, this is probably the best American remake of a Japanese horror film thus far.
