Watching some more television


Oh, there's a shock. Ted Raimi playing somebody with unhealthy social skills.

HOWEVER. What picked me up, set me on the counter, and then pushed me into the sink was the little blond kid standing next to the overturned truck, fists clenched, shouting "Kneel Before Todd! Kneel Before Todd!"

And every time that they refer to the Book of the Revelation of St. John as 'Revelations' it makes the former seminary student inside me twitch.

Two words for you:

"Tea parties!"

That was my second favorite line, only lacking in cheesy geek-pop culture cred. But I did not have to pause the TiVo to recover from it.
That entire sequence though, from knocking on the door to the violently sobbing teddy bear, was nicely done.

I'm sorry, but the suicidal teddy bear is what killed me. And the band-aid on the bear at the end.

I lived with a religious studies major, so the Revelation(s) makes me crazy in the same way people who call San Francisco "Frisco" make me crazy. -I kinda want to risk throwing out my bad arm and pounce on them while giving them the death grip throttle 'round the neck.

Seminary school...no wonder...

Just for future reference, if I say 'Revelations' often enough to get you to pounce me, you don't have to use your bad arm.

Seminary school...no wonder...
No wonder... no wonder I have a cassock hanging from my bedpost? No wonder that I carry the peaceful aura of a man of God?
