Many a time I went to church with a hangover when I was younger.

Now I don’t drink anymore. I don’t drink any less, but I dont drink any more. :)

Wanted to go see it last week and the media for this book got in the way.

I hope Chris can keep the weight off. I know it will be a battle for him. I loved him in “Guardians” and “Jurassic.” He can be in any of my movies.

I highly recommend Passengers.

Finally, we get a little love in our movies.

“The Shack” is anti-Christian heresy!

There goes his career unless Mel casts him. Hollywoodites would rather your soul be doomed then leave their club.

RE: "Chris" Pratt, his chosen stage name or birth identity? Seeing his image on this thread, I mistook him for doppleganger, Sam Worthington

I often confuse the two Ryan's -- RYAN REYNOLDS and RYAN GOSLING.

“Many a time I went to church with a hangover when I was younger.”

Me too! Chris’ conversion story makes it sound like he was pretty young at the time - below drinking age “a friend went in to buy me beer”. I have no idea when his acting career got going, but I don't buy the writer's psychobabble that somehow Chris needed to explain away his success.

Of course not.

Who would make up such an unusual story.

I hope he still gets parts.

That his conversion is international news smells of his agent making news. If he were truly converted he wouldn't have to have it knows throughout the known galaxy.
I am happy for him but, come on, gimme a break.

Sound like a PLAN to me.

I won’t deny his faith but I think he needs to rethink even the most innocent of his on screen smoochings with other women and especially the most suggestive of such...! The job of “actor” can’t excuse what the Bible says about consorting with other women other than one’s wife(even if the sex is “simulated”). If he is serious about his faith, then a choice is coming that he will have to make!

Pat Buchanan dedicated a whole chapter to going to church hungover in his book Right From the Beginning.

Saw four (free) movies on the plane to and from NYC:
*Star Trek Into Darkness. Terrible. An obscene waste of money for special effects that are just meaningless.

*Anthropod, ok movie about the assassination of Heydrich by Czech resistance fighters. Too dark, accents too heavy to really get a lot, most of the real plot is over by the middle when they kill Heydrich

*Denial, might have been a good subject-—David Irving lawsuit vs. Lipstadt over “Holocaust Denial” but of course the PC ness of Hollywood muddies the issue and makes it just another court trial run amuck.

*The Infiltrator, Brian Cranston plays a cop who infiltrates Pablo Escobar’s organization. A little hard to follow, lots of jabs at Reagan/CIA for being part of the drug problem.

Sam Worthington who is starring in a film called The Shack - another spiritual story.

“Based on the New York Times best-selling novel, The Shack takes us on a father’s uplifting spiritual journey. After suffering a family tragedy, Mack Phillips [Sam Worthington] spirals into a deep depression causing him to question his innermost beliefs. Facing a crisis of faith, he receives a mysterious letter urging him to an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Despite his doubts, Mack journeys to the shack and encounters an enigmatic trio of strangers led by a woman named Papa [Octavia Spencer]. Through this meeting, Mack finds important truths that will transform his understanding of his tragedy and change his life forever.

I read that book at the request of my wife.

Complete hogwash, spiritually speaking. Mindrot, in my opinion.
