Hair, I didn't get to read the posts about you guys meeting JimRob. Can you tell me where to find them?
I still don't think they gave us enough hints...
Ok, yeah, I can see that maybe the Middle Eastern thing could mean something. Only that brings up yet another question. If it is "faith" that defeats the monsters (is that a neutral word?), is it simply faith, or faith in God? If it's just faith, would faith in yourself, or your baseball bat be sufficient? Or does it have to be correct faith? I mean, let's suppose that one or more of the world religions is wrong, would someone with a strong enough faith in it be ok anyway?
That's why I don't want to start going into too much depth for a movie!
Anyway, my point in mentioning Signs was that people who say it was a bad movie because the "alien invasion" doesn't make sense are missing the point of the movie. The invasion is just what Hitchcock called a "MacGuffin"; it has no importance in itself, it serves only to drive what the characters do and how they react. Their actions and reactions are the point of the movie.
The 13th Warrior is about to start on Sci-Fi, if anyone is interested.
Thanks!
Well, he ~claimed~ to have raced in many long distance races. ;~D
About the only thing we know for ~sure~ is that he existed. Everything else is up for grabs.
ROFL! I forgot John Kerry was on "Scooby Doo" :) Hey, was that what the creatures in "Signs" looked like? :)
If that's Southfork...I was there with a church group for a Christian concert right around July 4, 1999. My last official act with that church before I moved up here.
In Signs... Are you saying that you think she ~foresaw~ what would happen and knew he would have to swing the baseball bat? I thought it was just a memory that was perhaps divinely inspired, if you prefer to think that, that occured to him at that moment. I don't think it was a message she foresaw or intended at the time of her death.
If she was foreseeing the 'invasion', better advice than the bat would have been to say "in a few years there'll be some aliens.... throw water on them".
Does it have talking aardvarks in it?
I do know that "Juniors" also start out at white belt, but that once you earn a belt, you never go backwards.
...Oy...
So they actually start over from White once they get to Juniors? That's an interesting idea: it lets the kids progress in belts while at the same time limiting the progression until they get older.
Nope, just cannibals...
I'm off to bed! Night night termites!
It looks kinda like "Beowulf" so far :)
Have a good night!
Hair; LSA and I are 'vey' impressed with your tomatoes as ours have languished in this unseasonably Cool yet, oh so wonderful, summer. The romas have produced just enough for the occasional recipe. However given the typical, 104 last august of last year, we'll take the cool. Love our attic/whole house fan.
