You say “Heathen” as if it’s a bad thing. 🙂
I’m in a particularly profane mood this morning. I blame my reading material. Here’s some of the things I’ve found on the web lately that amuse me greatly.
Critique. I can think of worse ways to pick a religion.
Technical Virgin. Don’t stop at the first page; read a little further.
Divine Interventions. Is it coincidence that I found this one after having just seen a movie about the Marquis de Sade? Probably what Jung would call a “synchronicity”. Or Sting. I always get them confused.
Action figures of Jesus, God, Buddha and Allah. I’m so ready to write them a check.
A pokemon-style cartoon of the book of revelations.
Yeah, I’m going to hell. What’s your point?
*laugh* i’m a holy roller, snake-holding, speaking-in-tongues fanatic, according to that sillie survey 🙂
was that the movie with joaquin phoenix and geoffrey rush? how was it?
Sade movies
You’re talking about Quills. I would have appreciated a more historical accounting of the Marquis de Sade, but this was a really well-done fictionalization of the final chapter of his life. Geoffrey Rush outdoes himself as the Marquis. The remainder of the cast was reasonably good, if a little too “Hollywood” for my tastes. Joaquin was a babe, but was sometimes a little too stiff in his role. Kate Winslet was an even bigger babe, but also turned out to be a little stiff *snicker*. I understand A&E did a biography of de Sade; I’ll have to look for it on DVD.
The movie I was actually thinking of was one I got from NetFlix, Marat/Sade. This was a filmed version of a stage play of the same name. It’s about one of Sade’s little theater productions in the sanitorium, where he and the inmates recreate the last days of Paul Marat. Very, very strange. But, I have a healthy appetite for the bizarre, so I really liked it. So, it’s a movie of a play about a play, just so we’re clear on this.
Definitely see the first. If you’re in a really twisted mood, see the second.
