R rated movies and God
So I have finally joined the cult and have created my own blog. I have plans for this to be as important as the blogs that exposed the lies that were being told about Bush during the campaign. Nevertheless, I think the fact that I even have one makes me way cooler, and definitely increases my chance with the ladies, although some of the things I say here will probably more than reverse any added cool points I received by having a blog.
First things first, I have seen a couple of movies lately that has gotten me thinking. The first one was A Lot like Love, which actually sucked as a movie, but I found that affected me, and something about it made me want to find some perfect girl have a love story like that. The truth is the girl was a tramp (okay, I'm not supposed to say that, but if you saw the movie you would agree- before Ashton Kutcher said a single word to her, she jumped him and they had sex) and the whole movie basically was about them having sex and then separating, till the very end where they decide to give it a try. Two things I gathered from it, the first was the really obvious message- don't make personal ambition and plans a priority over deep intimate relationships, because they won't fulfill. So...that seems right on, and a message that the church needs to hear as much as anyone else. The second was this, the distortion in that movie of what it is to love and be loved is so apparent, yet there is still a remnant of God's design, a remnant of the way He meant it to be. They expressed love in a way that is a perversio- yet it wasn’t counter to His plans overall- in fact it is a very healthy expression of love- to long for and finally come together in intimacy, giving each to the other in every aspect. Unfortunately, I think most people watch that kind of a movie, and reject the whole thing because they had the big s word before they were married, as if that is going to makes tons of people that weren't planning on it go out and have sex like rabbits. Come on, what a crock- people don't need a movie to justify that. Anyway, those are just a few thoughts on that
The second movie I can't comment on right now due to time, but I think the movie Crash might in fact be one of the most incredible movies I have ever seen, not entertaining, but thought provoking.
