"A female decendant of Christ and two unlikely prophets are called upon by Rufus, an unknown 13th apostle, to stop two angels, that were cast out of heaven, from unknowingly erasing all of God's work by restoring their souls by entering a new church. Restoring ones soul by entering a new church is a part of the Catholic Dogma, and by restoring their souls the angels could reenter heaven thus revealing there is a loophole to return to heaven. This would prove God was not perfect and upon proving this all of God's work would immediately be erased. " Heresy or a cinematic master piece? Dogma Heresy |

I think I saw it with you Andy. Which might have affected just how cool I thought it was. I think it probably did. |

They ae quotes, but you gotta love em.. and thought provoking too... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bethany: What's he like? God? Metatron: Lonely. But funny. He's got a great sense of humor. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Serendipity: I have issues with anyone who treats faith as a burden instead of a blessing. You people don't celebrate your faith; you mourn it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bethany: I don't want this, it's too big. Metatron: That's what Jesus said. Yes, I had to tell him. And you can -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Liz: He said that faith is like a glass of water. When you're young, the glass is small, and it's easy to fill up. But the older you get, the bigger the glass gets, and the same amount of liquid doesn't fill it anymore. Periodically, the glass has to be refilled. Bethany: You're suggesting I need to get filled? Liz: In more ways than one. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Serendipity: Read the Bible again sometime. Women are painted as bigger antagonists than the Egyptians and Romans combined. It stinks. Night x |

I just love the scene in the underground car park where the one angel accuses the other of sounding like Satan. `You sound like the morning star...' Amazing. |

I love the bit at the begining when is talking to the Nun... Nun: You don't believe in God because of Alice in Wonderland? Loki: No, "Through the Looking Glass". That poem, "The Walrus and the Carpenter" that's an indictment of organized religion. The walrus, with his girth and his good nature, he obviously represents either Buddha, or...or with his tusk, the Hindu elephant god, Lord Ganesha. That takes care of your Eastern religions. Now the carpenter, which is an obvious reference to Jesus Christ, who was raised a carpenter's son, he represents the Western religions. Now in the poem, what do they do...what do they do? They...They dupe all these oysters into following them and then proceed to shuck and devour the helpless creatures en masse. I don't know what that says to you, but to me it says that following these faiths based on mythological figures ensure the destruction of one's inner-being. Organized religion destroys who we are by inhibiting our actions...by inhibiting our decisions, out of...out of fear of some...some intangible parent figure who...who shakes a finger at us from thousands of years ago and says...and says, "Do it--Do it and I'll fuckin' spank you!" Nun: I never thought of it that way...what am I doing with my life...what am I...? I watched it again the night before last - Love it |

Do you think we should just post the entire script and move on? |

I don't know if the entire script is around anywhere. I would love a copy if any one has one. Along with the TOP GUN script. |

>>Do you think we should just post the entire script and move on? Surely moving on would not happen just because had posted entire script? There would still be so much to say. And this is my 100th post which is ridiculous. I am spending way too much time on message boards. |

I think there are some really deep th9ings to be taken form the quotes as well as the funny ones... |

Couldn't agree more. Care to write an article? (I can turn any thread into that, can't I?) |

This seems like the most appropriate thread to ask - did anyone watch that programme on ITV(1) about 'The Second Coming' tonight? What did you think of it? I thought it was about as good as that programme where a big earthquake destroys Britain except for some random people in a tunnel on a train to Sheffield, and they go around trying not to be eaten by mad dogs. It also bore some resemblance to the Princess Diana phenomenon. | |

Well basically this everyday, down-to-earth drinking, swearing Mancunian bloke suddenly gets a shaft of light from heaven outside a nightclub and disappears for 40 days and comes back thinking he's the Son of God and tries to convince other people, and the Pope gets him arrested, and then he causes the sunlight from one day to shift onto the football stadium on another day, and he says someone will write a Third Testament and thousands of people write one, and he's on the news all the time, people are divided over his claims, etc. etc. Tune in for the next (and last) instalment! |

Oh - and - they test his father's DNA and find out he has a genetic disorder which means he's infertile...

Someone else told me about it and said it was excellent. I'm sorry I missed it. He implied I wouldn't like the end (perhaps because I'm a Christian?) |

Does it turn out that David Beckham is the real Son of God instead? |

Aha - I've read the synopsis on http://www.damaris.org now. Pete was right to think there was a clue in her name... He always spots these things (as I mentioned on another thread) | |
