Summer summer summertime!
I am exhausted and as much as I love school I am looking forward to the break that will begin Thursday at noon after my Anatomy & Physiology final. I will spend the summer working one or two jobs and spending a lot more time with my girlfriend and the friends I have been neglecting these past five months. Thank you all for being understanding. The summer will be otherwise filled with numerous trips to Cali and the beach, the first being this weekend with my roommate Lisa, unless I get a job offer sometime this week. I am very much looking forward to working on my as of now nonexistent tan.
I have already made arrangements with two women in my life, who I knock heads with over religion on a regular basis, that I will go to church with them once if they will go to see Bill Maher's movie on religion coming out in late summer. I considered that maybe this is a mistake because it carries the inference that both sides of the debate have equal merit, but I figure it's the only way my mom and my girlfriend would ever consider seeing the movie. There's no one I can think of to more effectively make the argument for rationalism than Bill Maher. And make it entertaining at the same time. They're calling it an "inflammentary" sure to offend people of all religious persuasions. I can't wait!
Bill Maher and Larry Charles Take on Religion:
News and business have begun popping up at this year's Berlin Film Festival and its adjoining European Film Market. One project worth mentioning, is this announced collaboration between Bill Maher and Borat director Larry Charles, which is apparently a look at global religions. Variety reports on its Fest Central blog:
Charles and Maher have already been shooting for some time below the radar in the Mid-East and London, but footage is being kept tightly under wraps. Pic is being hyped as "Borat" meets "Fahrenheit 9/11," but the only materials that buyers are allowed to see is a single sheet written by Charles, which isn't permitted to leave the First Look office. "Is religion an obsessive-compulsive disorder?" asks Charles, who bills his movie as "Bill Maher vs. the Anti-Christ (or is Bill Maher the Anti-Christ?)"
