The Dark Knight

Saw Batman last night.
Lucked into a ticket. Thanks Blake!
Completely worth seeing more than once in a theater.
Heath Ledger carries the movie to me. Everyone else does an above average job, Heath was mezmerising. A performance in the same league as villians like claudias in Gladiator or Deniro in Heat.

When he's on the screen, you can't wait to see what he's going to do.

It was a well written movie. Well shot.

Good luck getting a seat at a big theater this weekend.
My favorite theater was sold out thru Sunday Friday at 6pm (with only 40 seats left on sunday).

I'm not a movie reviewr, so I won't go on. But it's worth seeing. more than once.

Creative Story Telling

Ira Glass (from NPR) who is an amazing storyteller, on the process of telling a great story. I"m not sure why I'm so fascinated by this. I'm going to have to reflect on this.. but i really like what he says here. So make your own application.

We See What We Look For

Watch this Video

We see what we are looking for, don't we. Whether it be in presidential candidates or each other. It's more convenient to see people how we want to, rather than see what's actually there.

Uh... yuck

Ok. you don't have to watch the whole video to get the idea. But I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that there are too many people in this wave pool in Tokyo.

Left Behind in song

Over the past few years one of the things that has changed has been my eschatology.
I saw this post and I thought it was funny. We need more of this kind of thing.
It's from my friend Mike King.

He Writes:

This video features a song written by Randy Bonifield at Christ Community Church here in Kansas City. Christ Community is a significant partner with YouthFront. Many of our staff attend there and we have great relationships with their staff. Pastor Tom Nelson is working through a series on Eschatology. Randy, who obviously was scared to death (put me in that category) by the eschatological imagination and tactics used by many post 1970 Left Behind advocates (also put me in this category from 1978 - 1991), wrote a song expressing his experiences. Very funny and appropriate critique.
