The WORD of the Week

Matthew 3:7-10

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.

And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.

The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.


Stupid Fact of the Week
There was only one civilian casualty during the three-day Battle of Gettysburg

22 May, 2006
Compared to _______, "The Davinci Code" was _________.
the book; truthful.
"Freddy Got Fingered"; Oscar-worthy.
Dubya; witty. (zing!)
a root canal; euphoric.


It really wasn't all that bad.
The direction was a bit hit or miss... more miss than hit...
Some of the camera work was intensely sick... some seemed completely uninspired, almost to the point of amateurish...
Acting ranged from great (Ian), to good (Audrey, Paul, Jean-Yves), to so-so (Tom, Alfred, Jean)...
Lighting was awesome at times... forced at others...
Sets were pretty sweet... Costumes were pretty simple, but appropriate...


Do I recommend it? Hmmm....
Am I glad I saw it? Yeah.
Will I buy it? No.
But I will tell you this... the $8.50 for the ticket was a small price to pay to see this trailer on the BIG screen. Let me tell you peeps, I do not cry in movies... and the rockel was gettin' a little misty from a trailer... intense... don't worry, I held it together, for the good of the universe... God only knows what could have happened.

So go see the trailer... and if you feel like it, stick around for the 2.5-hour film that follows it. After all, you're going to want to see the first one before the next two come out.

    Wow, what an intense trailor. I'm looking forward to seeing it, the movie that is.

    Yeah I'm really excited about the sequels to D.C.; I hear in this one Langdon discovers (through the intensely religious lyrics of Nirvana and Metallica) that Jesus was actually a woman thus making his relationship his relationship with Mary Magdalene a lesbian one... or was it? In 3 we find out that Mary Magdalene was actually a man, making the "devine feminine" actually the "devine masculine". All of which is most certainly historically accurate.

    You're a bit confused, Chuck. Mary M. is revealed in 3 to be neither explicitly male nor female, as is communicated in the soon-to-be-released Three 6 Mafia Academy Award follow-up, "Hermaphroditic Ho." (available on sony records)

    Glad to see you 2 politcal arena boxers sparring with jokes and sarcasm. But unfortunately you're both wrong. Mary Magdalene is reveal to really be a midget, or so my sources tell me, so its really the devine midgetuine. And then in 3 we found out that Jesus was really a giant and he and Mary slept together so now we have adverage height people all around with midgets and giants making up a small percentage of the population.

    Ps. that trailer had me teared up.. we all 3 should go together and cry like the big men we are..

    Oh my gosh...that trailer is so lame. You guys are all like "It's only cool to show this type of emotion when it's 9/11 9/11 **tear**. Did I mention **tear** 9/11? **bawl**

    The only emotion I feel toward this film is anger and bitterness. I mean, I understand that these people's story deserves to be told, but it's just very hard for me to get over the fact that more people continue to get rich off of the disaster of 9/11 **tear** 9/11. And then they want to put Nick Cage as the star. THAT makes me want to cry. It's like Nick Cage said:

    Hey, I know how I can appeal to the academy for another nomination I don't deserve: play a NYC Fire Sergeant who, with the help of three others, rescues people from the WTC as it collapses. Plus, I'd look so hunky with an awesome porn 'stache. Anybody wanna mustache ride? Man, I'm good.

    People who go and see WTC support the terrorists.

    Actually I do support terrorists. I buy my gas from Saudi Arabia, my tupperware from China, my car from Japan, and my nuclear weapons from North Korea and Iran. So seeing WTC will only be one more step in my move to radical Islam, won't you join me?

    You're still buying from N. Korea and Iran? That's so 90s, Chuck. I've told you before, those guys are ripping you off... two words: Fin Land. That's where it's at these days. Keep it on the DL.

Lyrics of the Week

ON THE NICKEL
by Tom Waits

("I'd like to do a new song here. This is eh, it's about downtown Los Angeles on 5th Street. And eh all the winos affectionately refer to it as The Nickel. So this is kind of a hobo's lullaby.")

sticks and stones will break my bones,
but i always will be true, and when
your mama is dead and gone,
i'll sing this lullabye just for you,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never comb their hair,
well they're lined up all around the block,
on the nickel over there.

so you better bring a bucket,
there is a hole in the pail,
and if you don't get my letter,
then you'll know that i'm in jail,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never say their prayers,
well they're sleepin' like a baby,
on the nickel over there.

and if you chew tobacco, and wish upon a star,
well you'll find out where the scarecrows sit,
just like punchlines between the cars,
and i know a place where a royal flush,
can never beat a pair, and even thomas jefferson,
is on the nickel over there.

so ring around the rosie, you're sleepin' in the rain,
and you're always late for supper,
and man you let me down again,
i thought i heard a mockingbird, roosevelt knows where,
you can skip the light, with grady tuck,
on the nickel over there.

so what becomes of all the little boys,
who run away from home,
well the world just keeps gettin' bigger,
once you get out on your own,
so here's to all the little boys,
the sandman takes you where,
you'll be sleepin' with a pillowman,
on the nickel over there.

so let's climb up through that button hole,
and we'll fall right up the stairs,
and i'll show you where the short dogs grow,
on the nickel over there.
