Take that fishman!

Good morning Lawrence, GOOD to meet you my friend. Same here. Or somewhere. I have to smile bcs you sound like me. (I'd like to think that is a good thing. LOL) On the other hand, as some will point out [philosophically or otherwise] what's good about believing 1] your own existence is essentially ...

With so much at stake on both sides of the grave -- moral commandments, immortality, salvation -- would it not seem fundamentally imperative not only that we mere mortals read God's Words correctly but, as well, they are able to demonstrate why it is, in fact, their own God's words, and only their ...

I'm just pointing out a very simple fact: whatever the circumstance, NOT reading for yourself is always way, way worse than reading for yourself. And I think you know that's right. On the other hand, while there are any number of folks who will agree wholeheartedly with this, many others will then ...

If somebody wants to read the Bible ... okay. Just don't pretend that by reading the Bible you have a wonderful understanding of God, Jesus or Christianity, which others are lacking. I've never really been able to understand this frame of mind. With so much at stake on both sides of the grave -- mo...

And you can thank the printing of Bibles for changing that situation. Before then, not only could people not afford books, but there was very little for them to read. Once the Bible was widely available, literacy rates skyrocketed. And then this part... Before the Bible was printed [or after but so...

I grew up in a dysfunctional family myself. Nothing like this though. This one is more fucked up than the folks in Fish Tank. And it’s not even from England. But what’s England got on working class families from the deep South? Here of course the rich are even more fucked up than the lower middle cl...

Blue Velvet Dorothy [to Jeffrey]: I looked for you in my closet tonight. Carerful, Jeffrey... Sandy: You’re not going back to her apartment, are you? Jeffrey: Yeah. Sandy [very concerned]: Jeffrey, why? Jeffrey: I’m seeing something that was always hidden. I’m involved in a mystery. I’m in the midd...

Madness “How can you tell who are the clever men and who are the madmen in this world, where reason and folly, madness and genius are often confused.” Guy de Maupassant Next up: clever women. “There is a ghosting software that enters the brain and makes the person view multiple realities/dimensions...

Jeffery is right: It’s a strange world. But, come on, how many of us ever find it this strange? More to the point though is that we know it can be. It’s out there. And the more it’s depicted in films like this the more it is likely to spread. A paradox? We never really know just how close we are to ...

God “The ancients were afraid that if they went to the end of the earth they would fall off and be consumed by dragons. But once we understand that Christianity is true to what is there, true to the ultimate environment - the infinite, personal God who is really there - then our minds are freed. We...

The gist: Ten years ago, after being wrongly accused of a hideous murder of a mother and her twin daughters, Sean Veil became paranoid, filming himself twenty-four hours a day to have an alibi if necessary. A very strange film to look at. An even stranger one to wrap your head around. You can imagin...
