Movies

There is a fantasy movie in theaters right now, a bit of anti-Christian garbage called "The Golden Compass" and even though I love a good fantasy movie this one will not get a dime from me, I won't be seeing it in a theater and won't be bothering with it when it comes out on DVD either. The Golden Compass is based on a book written by a sworn atheist, Philip Pullman, where witches are good, the church is bad, and in the end, god dies. I did read the whole vile Pullman series, "His Dark Materials" (it was loaned to me so he didn't get a dime from that either) and found it offensive overall.

After the first book I thought he was misguided, by the second book I thought he was a deluded heretic and by the time I finished the third I was convinced his co-author was Satan himself. I'm not joking nor am I exaggerating, this was my actual reaction.

The next fantasy movie I plan to see is the next installment of the Chronicles of Narnia. The Narnia books are Christian, and entertaining as well, we don't need to support creeps like Pullman to get decent fantasy. Lord of the Rings is another example of GOOD fantasy that is not anti-Christian but actually pro-Christian.

Here is the trailer for the next Narnia movie, Prince Caspian. If you haven't read the Narnia books you really should, they are great stuff, easy to read and fast moving too.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome

The Tea Parties

I didn't make our local Tea Party , but it pulled hundreds of people as well... Tea, anyone? from Father Hollywood by Father Hollywood Like hundreds of thousands of other Americans, the Hollywoods enjoyed a tea party this past Wednesday. "Tea party" (wink wink). Nothing subversive about sipping a little Darjeeling, eh wot? Nothing to see here, Miss Napolitano. Anyway, our local festivities were held at Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie. There were literally thousands of people crammed into the neutral ground (though on that day, the ground was anything but...), as cars and trucks poured by the busy boulevard laing on their horns in support. Here are pictures. And like every such gathering in our environs, there was even a brass band and an improptu "second line" parade. It was a "party" after all. But it was a party with a serious reason. The crowds were so overwhelming that it was hard to hear the speakers, and unfortunately, we did have a fe...
