Fanfilms (or Geek Post of the Week)

So I'm poking around on the internet today, between meetings, and I catch this link:


And I watch the opening couple minutes of it and...it's really pretty good. I mean, it's no Peter Jackson epic, but it's really well done for a fan film...in fact, it's better than most fan films I've seen (and I've seen just about all these fan films...).


So, a part of me is jealous. Yeah, I'd still like to do something like that. Okay, I'm not normally the kind of guy who dresses up in costume and runs around the neighborhood waving a sword (or a lightsaber, or...well, you know what I mean). I mean, I was a Jawa when I was 11 for Halloween and a sandperson when I was twelve. But, that was it (I *sob* don't even OWN a lightsaber...).



Anyway, I do think things like this are really cool. If you like The Lord of the Rings movies, then check out The Hunt for Gollum. If you like Star Wars check out the second link.

And if you don't think fanfilms are worth your time, I get that too. I guess. I mean, it takes all kinds, right? :)

Buzzword Bingo

Everybody has buzzwords - business has theirs, the entertainment industry has a lingo, in sports, and in church work we have ours, too. Dilbert the other day had the pointy haired boss try to lead via catchprhases: copyright Scott Adams I have threatened to make up "Buzzword Bingo" cards for Annual Conference. You know, put words like "Holy Conferencing" and "Inclusiveness" and "Core Value" and, oh yeah, "Jesus" on the card and when you get five in a row you can jump up and yell "BINGO", or maybe "Holy Spirit" I don't know... We're not allowed to play bingo, so we definitely shouldn't yell out that word. Maybe if I had people yell out "Hallelujah!" when they got 5 in a row, the powers that be at conference would just assume that the person was powerfully moved by the point being made.* But we would know - and would secretly give them a prize.** The point being that we like to use the t

B C Comic

So ten years ago Johnny Hart (who died like 4 years ago) ran this strip (click to enlarge): And there's been controversy since.  Okay, I get it.  Hart was a Christian and he expressed his faith in his comic strip - lots of people calling him a fundamentalist...dunno what his particular Christian religious persuasion was - except that his funeral was in a Presbyterian church. So, anyway, it's just clear that lots of people missed the point****.  In fact, Hart himself claimed to be shocked that people thought he was an advocate for  replacement theology  based on the strip...  He could be clever - a 2006 strip that I think has a well played double entendre: (And, for the record, I'm no more or less offended by that than I am by people who use  Fred Phelps  as the posterboy for Christianity - every religion has it's crazy fundamentalists...well, the big ones I know about, anyway...)  Nice double joke on "moon shaped" and bug - Luna-Tic[k] and, of course
