The question supposes that God actually exists. If I asked "would you want to see the face of the Easter Bunny if it meant you'd have to believe?" it would have the same level of meaning. The question also supposes not only the 'Christian' version of God but very specifically the Roman Catholic version of God. I like the song but it's about as deep as a parking lot puddle when it comes right down to it.

As a fan of the book, I truly enjoyed "Fear and Loathing ..." but I would never say it was a 'good' film ;-). You've seen "Where the Buffalo Roam", yes? (Bill Murray, Peter Boyle)

Brian Eno's Music for Films, Music for Airports and a few others whose titles I've forgotten. Robert Fripp's 'Soundscape' recordings; listed below Pie Jesus November Suite The Gates of Paradise (a personal favorite) Soundscapes, Vol I, II, and III all are available here; http://www.disciplineglobalmobile.com/cat/index.htm Also Fripp and Eno together; No **footing and Evening Star Also, the Dead Can Dance album The Serpents Egg is truly exquisite I'll be sure to check your list out!!!

A sequel for Dogma, huh? Mmmm, sometimes sequels can be SOOO bad. I hope this doesn't turn out to be one of those.

I don't understand. Do you get Playbill in the mail or on-line, like a magazine or e-mag subscription?

The film you refer to is called "The Passion". As a jew, I remember receiving the letter telling me I was supposed to complain about it. For a fairly even handed description of the turmoil surrounding the release of this film, you could go here' http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/980753/posts. Or not. After all, no one is holding a gun to your head.

It looks like it could be interesting. I'm hoping they don't go w/ opera trained voices (the 'new' standard for Broadway musical actors) as they tend to lack charecter. As a side note, the Cherry Lane isn't actually a Broadway Theatre.

Dogma and Constantine!!! - I can't believe I forgot those. I loved them both. Something about good angels gone bad really reaches me

Chronicles of Narnia? (seems to be some speculation about that)

I just saw it over the weekend. I loved it but can't call it a good film. I felt the connection between the heroine and Kong pretty strongly. Kongs facial expressions really help here but I didn't believe Jack Blacks charecter for a second which was odd because I usually enjoy him. I thought the special effects were superior and the long shot of Kongs fall of the Empire State Building was beautiful. You want to see this on a big screen, but you don't want to pay full price (IMO)

Greg the Bunny This was gone from the airwaves very quickly. I don't think they filmed an entire season. Eugene Levy - Sarah Silverman - Seth Green - and a whole bunch of hand puppets. Really. The show centered around the cast (both Puppet and, er, Fleshie) of a kids TV show called Sweetknuckle Junction but the themes of the show itself were fairly adult. Funny stuff and very very weird.

I saw it. I loved it. I didn't know the joke going in. The joke is not the point. Watching a bunch of quality comedians from multiple generations tell this joke was like watching a bunch of quality jazz musicians play the same tune. First it was kinda funny. Then it was kinda repetitive. Then it got progressively funnier and funnier. I don't think I would let Bob Saget in my house. Not suggested for those who are easily offended.

I agree, but I'm a Wheedon-verse junkie. I miss the 'other' one, but it was time for it to end. So, Nerts, wha'd'ya think of Serenity?

I just finished reading The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. Facinating little book revolving around the Devils visit to Communist (and Atheist) Russia in the mid 1930's. Anyone else read it?

BTW, I liked Second Snowfall. It really smoothed out my mood today at work (IT Help Desk type job). Funny how style designations change. You called this 'New Age'. Fifty years ago it would have been 'Lite Classical' perhaps. How did you record it?

I'm more of an electric guy - 79' Gibson Les Paul Custom mid 80's Fender Tele (it's a weird one, 3 pickups [h/s/s] whammy bar, pearl white finish w/ black neck. Made in Japan... I've never seen another one like it.) Mid 80's (I think) Hamer standard - It's got a black on white 'graph paper' finish remeniscent of Cheap Trick Early 70's Hangstrum, not sure of the model. I refinished it and changed all the electronics when I first got it in the mid 70's. If I had left it the way it was it probably would be worth something now. ) The only acoustic I own is a Washburn CE something or other. I'm kinda embarassed that I don't know the model Straight acoustic, no electronics, but I have a Seymour Duncan pickup for it, that I've never used. I've been meaning to put it to more use. It's not the best player, but it sounded better to me than most of the other guitars I was playing that day and was $100 + cheaper, probably because it was made off-shore. Full sounding, I guess I'd call it 'brash'. Not terribly sweet or sophisticated, but neither is my playing I play mostly 'old school progressive' type stuff. Oddly, I don't seem to have any audio samples 'out there'. Still, there's these two sites http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...=glance&s=music and www.snarkattack.com

That's a beautiful instrument. Congrats again. I'd be really weird about buying an guitar w/out playing it, but I've also being hanging out a www.warmoth.com fantasising about building my own 'ultimate' guitar. And cruising e-bay ... So, what else (guitar-wise) you got?

Congradulations!!!! What kind of guitar??? Make, model & type please

I would strongly recommend "The Illuminati Trilogy" which is actually a single volume authored by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson. The authors take a wide variety of myths, occult arcania and conspiricy theories and weave them together into a very funny, very strange tale. They manage to connect the Kennedy assination to the Lost City of Atlantis. Funny stuff

I'm a big Potter Head. I just love those.

Available July 17. Order now and get it for half off the cover price. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> DONE :!:

Neal Stephenson has just finished a Trilogy of historical novels set in the mid/late 1700's. Interesting stuff. Stephenson crossed over from Sci-Fi where he did some truly interesting stuff which (now that I think of it) referenced historical sources. Historic Novels (The Baroque Cycle, in 3 volumes) Quicksilver The Confusion The System of the World Sci-fi/Cyber Punk Snow Crash (which was my introduction to Summerian Myth/Legends) A Young Ladys Primer
