A movie lol
Saw a bit of the Reader. Of all the roles for which she was oscar-nominated she had to win for the least impressive. More impressed with her young consort's acting. He's very good.
Yeah, saw a little of Wrestler months ago. First time I'll see Rourke's face without some prosthetic to make it hideous, like Sin City,etc

Really? How come its one of your interests? You're agnostic, right? Or atheist? As for religious history, its all written in blood. And most of these holy books seem to have a thing against women. You find the cultural attitudes and personal opinions of ancient times captured in holy books, and the present is molded to comform to the past. Look at the millions of women subjected to terrible lives under Islamic laws and holy books. The Hindu books commanded widows to be burnt to death over their husband's funeral pyre. The practice ended only relatively recently. And Christianity has a history as disgraceful as any other religion; women burned at the stake for centuries for witchcraft. All it took is for one person to say You're a witch, and your fate is sealed. The witch's property is divided between the accuser and the church. She pays the costs of her trial, feeding and accomodation for her tortureres, she pays for the priests, and pays the executioner's fee. She pays for the rope if she's to be hanged. Children were burned as well. Since its a lucrative business,thousands went into the witchcraft accusation business. An individual may have up to 300 women burned.And this went on for centuries! If anyone even breathes that what the Church is doing might be wrong or call it the evil it is, they're burned as well. Imagine the terror people must have lived under all their lives. Often a husband would tell the Inquisition that his wife was asleep in his arms at the time the so-called witchcraft she was accussed of took place; they would inform him that she'd substituted a succubi in her likeness and that was what he held.
Its truly horrendous, Spiked.
Hmmmn, 
In addition to this, it was believed that a witch's power can be nullified by detroying her blood in a fire hence the practice of burning witches at the stake. Sometimes uncooperative witches were burned with green wood, which took longer to kill them (the horror!).
Jacques de Molay, the Grand Master of the Templars, was "slow roasted on a spit". This punishment wasn't just reserved for witches too, heretics got a part of that.
The great witch craze. *shudder*.  |

Na wah o. Slow roasted? Green wood? No religion should ever have secular power over people. Horror always ensues. We're people afterall. See what's happening in those fundamentalist moslem countries? See what Islam itself has turned into? Its retrogressing. Things were better a thousand years ago. Islamic scholarship was almost unmatched,especially in mathematics and philosophy, and Moslems were the epitome of the grace and mercy that their Catholic counterparts lacked. Islam wasn't even imposed on people they conquered. People were allowed to keep their religion if they chose, and moved about unmolested. The only thing was, if you aren't moslem, you were forbidden their holy cities like Bagdad. During the crusades, the moslems routed the unruly, mostly sadistic Christian invaders from Europe. But they did not kill or maltreat their European prisoners of war. On another crusade, when the Christian soldiers defeated the Moslems, they went a-killing, raping, looting,burning,all over the conqured moslem territories. Sanctioned by the pope, they committed actrocities so unbelievably sadisitc, so inhuman, you'll go cold with horror. Roman Catholic Christian history is the darkest and most shameful in Christianity. They apologise centuries later, when it no longer matters and no one cares anymore.Look how they colluded and sanctioned Nazi Germany. If you read up on their popes, they're some of the most horrible human beings on earth. They're enough to make you desert Christianity and run screaming to Satan.But I guess its all past. The perversion lives but its powerless now.

You don't, eh.Did you actually sit there hating the movie, and still watched it to the end? I'm so laughing here.Why didn't you leave? Have you seen Inglorious yet? I have friends who appear to see movies the nanosecond its out. One tells me Brad Pitt and Tarantino aren't a good fit.

Checked out Mall Cop when I heard Adam Sandler produced it. He isn't a funny man, but he produced House Bunny, which was mildly funny. Surprised none of the Wayan brothers were tin it, since tpia liked it. Couldn't finish it though. Will see Inglorious Basterds this week. Haven't see a Tarantino movie since Death Proof.

My first good look at Damon's wife. Are those real? She looks older than he is.

I didnt really like it oh. I was just being pc with my analysis. The movie was rather predictable- Kevin James was great in Hitch, and I'd expected a mall setting to make for an interesting storyline. |

those of you who are into dark gothic stuff, you havent seen Coraline yet? Just watched it and that's one scary movie. No blood or gore but quite creepy, imo. In an innocent fantasy kind of way  A darker verson of Narnia. I almost thought it was a Tim Burton flick- they could have fooled me. |

Does Tim Burton make scary movies? I haven't seen any. His dark materials are very English and not frightening at all.
