Religulous Dark Knight - New political frontier

Img from RottenTomatoes. One of the most thoughtful, funny and insightful approaches to the touchy topic of organized faith and religion. Favorite segments, interpreted by me: Bill Maher: Do you believe you'll be taken care of in the afterlife? That you'll be taken care of? Man selling religious chotch-kes: Yes, I believe God will take care of me. Bill Maher: Then why don't you kill yourself now? And: Bill Maher: So honestly, a tale of a man surviving in the belly of a whale - Woman: Jonah lived in a giant fish! Bill Maher: Oh, I'm sorry. That's much more plausible then! He survives for three days in a giant FISH, and comes out smelling like pussy. Ok, much more believable. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I need to see it again. Bill Maher approaches the subject as a curious agnostic. Questioning, challenging, travelling and talking. To be an atheist he says, is to be as fanatic about the non-existence of a higher being, which is just as dangerous as being a fanatic about certainty of a higher being's existence. As a true agnostic, he asks how can one be sure of either side? So he challenges people on their non-tolerance and closed-view thinking of the world, from double-standards from a Muslim rapper, to the ousted former members of the Mormon society, to middle America's Christian right. Excellent!

Img from A Silent I files. Loved this movie. I loved Two-Face's makeup. Loved Heath Ledger (my friend had a good point, he thinks the Joker should laugh much much more, being the maniacal crazy he is). Christian Bale is as hot as evar.

awwwww!!!

Pixar Story Documentary

Oh, how satisfying it is to see the little guy win and win big. Seeing this movie was a gentle reminder of humble beginnings mixed with sweat, smarts and all-nighters can get millions to want to cross oceans, drive for miles, confront the scary, and overcome physically bigger enemies. Thank you, Pixar, for reminding us that stories are important. Detailed and sensitive animation conveys. And we all can't wait for Wall-E!
