Netlix Finds: I Recommend "Act of Vengeance"

I found this to be a compelling movie with a stellar cast and a gripping plot. Imagine a man was determined to be an infamous terrorist, and was to be transported abroad as such--but there is this burning question--is he?  Really?

I found this movie to be well-acted and exceptional on many levels. It directly addresses how we in the West treat suspects of Islamic terrorism, while drawing a line between the Islamist terrorists and law-abiding and deeply spiritual practitioners of the faith. I think this is definitely a movie one should put in their Netflix queue.

When Woolite Won't Do

I sometimes rebuke my vintage clothes for that kind of warmed-over BO stank you only notice after you've worn a second-hand thing for a couple hours, and then you realize it has "other people stank" all over it, but this is so rare, that I mostly just wash the items before wearing them, and re-inspect them for anything that might look like nits, and just go ahead and add them to my wardrobe. I find that the only things I've ever come across that were distinctively demon-haunted were actual televangelists, although some evanglists were distinctively dodgy even if not exactly on tv.

What I think I'm getting at is--really, Pat Robertson? Always be banishing? It's like you're half a witch yourself.  He would feel lighter if he went white lighter.

Santa Monica HS Comes Out Beautifully Against WBC

I've said it before, but the one thing I can say for Westboro Baptist is that they really know how to bring people together in a meaningful way.  Against them. But it's really meaningful and beautiful when they do.

I must share these creepy religious toys.

These horrific finds are from The Reformed Buddhist. This one picture especially haunts me:



That totally reminds me of the hallucination of the dead baby from the movie Trainspotting. If that was hanging from the Christmas tree, I'd just be waiting for its creepy little head to spin around, all Regan-esque. No amount of tinsel makes that face okay.

Also this:



would have entirely made me go atheist twenty years earlier if it was in my house when I was a kid.

*Shudder*.
