I caught this from the Louie Giglio talk I was listening to on the way home from the movie tonight:

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him

It's a John Piper, I know, but he used it that first night of Passion way back in January and tonight it holds a special significance...

Screw Robert Langdon, Give Me Master Shake!

In the end, in six months or so, people aren't even going to remember what that movie is...but six millenia from now we're gonna be chillin' in Heaven, and everyone's gonna remember every step Jesus was with them along the way. It's a stupid baseless fad that everyone's getting worked up about. And it's not that great of a book, either. I'm about 2/3 of the way through it, and frankly, the author tends to run things on for a really long time. It doesn't really make me want to see the movie at all, regardless of the controversy, hype, and whatever about it. I mean if the concept was so terrible, where were all the protests when the novel came out? It's been a couple years, yet nobody seems to care until the movie is out?

Frankly, I really believe Dan Brown and his publisher and all his accountants have sent people in the Catholic church to get them stirred up over all this in order to increase box-office and book sales...after all, religious controversy sells, regardless of the subject. If you make a movie about the Dhali Lama it'll sell just as much as the DiVinci Code, just as much as the Passion, just as much as Fiddler on the Roof, or any other movie with a strong religious element to it. Actually, I really don't think if this author wrote about a 100% secular subject that he'd really be good enough to make it to anything past a B-Movie starring Dolph Lundren and Lou Diamond Phillips, and maybe that Merideth Baxter Berney chick from all the Lifetime movies my mom watches.

Frankly, and I say this with absolute resolve...I'm saving MY money, letting the movie watch itself (cause the book is ALWAYS better, which means this movie is gonna be mediocre at best), and watching...

The Aqua Teen Hunger Force Movie!!!!! (Five exclamation marks is the sign of a truly insane man, as Terry Pratchett, a truly good author once said.) Coming out this Fall, until it's delayed yet again.
