oakenguyThe third person I encounter at work gets in a little argument with me over that Passion movie. It's going to be that sort of day.
(For the record, the irresistable motion of his "The Romans were brutal; why are people so surprised by the violence?" met the unmovable force of my "Christ's uniqueness is because of his teachings, not his status as a victim of brutal violence, and anyhow, if I want to watch someone being tortured for two hours I'll watch Howard Dean on Meet the Press and save $10, $14 with popcorn.")
Time for a poll, people
Sweatpants with adjectives like "JUICY" in 200 pt. font across the tush:
A) A turn-on
B) A turn-off
C) Another sign that these are the Last Days
D) Something I'd wear
E) Something I wear right now
F) Something the folks in 2020 will mock our decade for

Date: 2004-02-26 08:11 am (UTC)Um. Yeah. In truth I really do find the rotating motion of words written on someone's pants utterly riveting. Slightly tacky, sort of like Captain Jack Sparrow's excessive eyeliner, but still effective. I like it best when the words are a nonsequitur that I have no chance of grokking. Bands names I've never heard of, say.
Tacit invitations to stare at people's bums = always good.

and on any given occasion, C.
however, i'd totally love to see someone mock those clothes by making pants with the words "ASS CHEEKS" on the butt and "BOOOOOOBS" across the chest of a shirt.
come on, that would be hilarious.

Yeah, that's a pretty funny set of visuals. :)

Read "B" as "oh, wow, that's entirely the wrong adjective for that part of the body, thank you, and now my squick factor for has been used up."

Date: 2004-02-26 10:54 am (UTC)And while I agree about where his uniqueness comes from... I think it's in seeing how badly he suffered FOR God and for us that makes it so important. Kinda like how people tend not to appreciate what others do for them until they realize how hard it was to do what they did... And then you appreciate them more for that. If that makes sense?
I'm afraid to see it. Not for the violence, not at all. I just never cry at movies, I make it a point never to, and I've heard it does exactly that...

Date: 2004-02-26 03:41 pm (UTC)I agree with your assessment, BTW. And as a Christian who believes that Christ's death and resurrection are what conquered death, I believe that of the two, the resurrection was the important link. Mel Gibson himself said it best (only problem is that it was in a different movie!): "Every man dies. Not every man really lives."

Date: 2004-02-26 09:12 pm (UTC)I've seen your art before in my meandering around. It's really quite lovely, but I never had a proper opportunity to tell you / the artist so. And now I do! I particularly like the way you draw Snape. Maybe it's your fearlessness with The Nose. Maybe it's that he's got a bit of a Jewish look to him. ;) Hard to say.
At any rate, lovely!
