It's the idea of beholding where you are not in awe of something and therefore seeking it out and you're not detesting it either, but rather you're beholding it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16113999.post-1133847081897157752005-12-06T00:31:00.000-05:002005-12-06T00:31:00.000-05:00Excellent comment, Peggy.And I don't know how into...Excellent comment, Peggy.<BR/><BR/>And I don't know how into chocolate boobies I would be because something like that would probably be made in the same factory that the edible underwear is made, or the genital-shaped pasta, or the genital-shaped suckers/lollipops. At least that's how I picture the factory of adult-oriented food products working, though it's probably not like that. Either way, I wouldn't eat chocolate in the shape of boobs because I would just think of the dark factory where it was produced -- it looks a little like Axis Chemicals in the original Batman movie. <BR/><BR/>As for Narnia, I'm not averse to seeing it. I'm told it's very Christian and that CS Lewis intended it as a Christian parable and because my belief system is diametrically opposed to CS Lewis's view of Christianity, I shouldn't support the movie with my movie-seeing dollars. Philip Pullman, an author I read and respect (he wrote the His Dark Materials trilogy for young adults), says the Narnia books are "poisonous". From what he's said, it sounds like the arc of one of the characters is pretty terrible. But if the movie itself isn't poisonous, then why not see it? If these folks have made a good, entertaining movie, why not see it? I didn't see Passion of the Christ because I didn't care to see Jim Caviezel pretend to get tortured for an hour. Call me crazy. But what in this movie, exactly, is going to offend my sensibilities? That the lion is a stand-in for Jesus? That it's an allegory for... Christian... stuff? I don't know. I think the fantasy label almost trumps the Christian label, and if the reviews say it's good (Ebert and Roeper have already given it two thumbs up), then I might go have a looksee (alone I'm sure). I'll go to support good fantasy movies -- there are a bunch of fantasy books out there that I'd like to see made into movies and if this one tanks, then Hollywood's going to get skittish about making any fantasy movies for a while. But if I don't see it, it will be because the trailers haven't moved me to see it -- so far, they make the movie look like so much warmed over Lord of the Rings. King King, on the other hand, is sounding better and better. Munich, too.Miller Sturtevanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07407592837398461072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16113999.post-1133823157448343702005-12-05T17:52:00.000-05:002005-12-05T17:52:00.000-05:001 - Who doesn't love chocolate boobies?

If you want to watch some real movies, try Harry Potter 1-4 or the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I'm not just saying that because I'm a nerd, but also, because these are great movies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16113999.post-1133812219706884322005-12-05T14:50:00.000-05:002005-12-05T14:50:00.000-05:00I'm curious what your thoughts on the new Christia...I'm curious what your thoughts on the new Christian movie Narnia?
