This probably won't amuse you unless you are or know some Lutherans.
Q. How do you know you are in Minnesota when you are watching Star Wars on the big screen?
A. When Obiwan says "May the Force be with you" the audience responds "and also with you."
We celebrate Easter today. I'll link to the archives for my thoughts about the movie The Passion from a year ago. So it's been a year since I last posted my thoughts on that movie. A year later I actually dislike the movie far more than I did when I wrote that review. In fact I would go so far as to say I wish I hadn't seen it. It freaks me out that they screen this thing at churches at Easter time now. I think when I wrote that review I was trying to like the movie since so many of my peers thought it was so important or good for people to see. Maybe I'll post a longer screed about the movie later. It's funny how time changes memories and perceptions of experiences. Some happy fun things, like seeing The Gates in February, get bigger and more fun over time. Some tragic occurrences soften and lose their edge, some never lose their edge.
