Movie - Boondock Saints

This is going up early as i'm running off to vacation in the next 12 hours.
This is the movie you all expected me to open with.  Or at least, should have expected me to open with it if you've ever spoken to me in real life.

Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done

Genre - Action/Drama (does that begin to encapsulate it?)
Stars - Willem Dafoe, Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus, David Della Rocco, Billy Connolly.  if you didn't already know that, i'm not sure what to say...
Key Points - Irish Men, Irish Men in Boston, Irish Catholics, Catholicism, Clearing Scum off the Earth

Points to Ponder - Were they sanctified in jail when the water dripped from the crack (one crack broken into 3, like the trinity)(the next morning is the first reference to being 'saints')?  Note that as the scenes progress, Smecker's involvement in the telling of the story becomes more and more enmeshed until "There was a FIREFIGHT!".  Also note that Rocko was the only to sustain more than a flesh wound in the big shoot out - possible because he was in it for revenge, and not only for holy reasons?  And of course, the final point - if this happened in real life, would any of us adore them?  Would we fear them?  Would we help them?  How would we feel if the people who are supposed to protect us from this happening became part of it?

"And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, My Lord, for Thee."

have a happy passover

wow

it feels sacreligious to say it, but the more i listen to green day's maerican idiot, the morei'm convinced that it ranks up there with The Who's rock operas...

wow

thanks mart mart

you always can tell when i'm losing it

2 scoops

picking through a box of raisin bran (by the handful) puling out the raisins and trashing the rest.

would feel more guilty if the weren't going to be trashed tomorrow anyhow.

are raisins crusted with sugar technically still 'fruit'?

come on come on come on

i am more bored than i have been in a really long time.  i keep putting my head down and picking it back up and it's only been like a minute, and i just want it to be 5 so i can leave because i'm going crazy

Movie - Bulletproof Monk

Genre - action movie based on a comic book (popular genre in our house)
Stars - Yun-Fat Chow, Seann William Scott, Jaime King (anyone see Sin City?)
Key Points - Nazis, Tibet, Secret Icantation of Immortality, Street Fighting
Points to Ponder - What was The Monk's name?  If he was bulletproof, was it because he protected the incantation, or by nature of his soul; why did he not die (of the wound he received in 1930s, minimally)when he passed along the responsibility?  What is the nature of one who can be entrusted with a holy mission (obviously it's not someone who possesses learning or humility)?
