Rata-tat-tat


While hanging out with my Mom and my nephews, we saw the ‘coming soon’ poster for the movie, Underdog. The trailers’ main headline read “One nation, under dog”. Dog isn’t an accident, it’s God spelled backwards. I don’t wanna have a critical attitude from the get-go, but it’s hard not to.

I remember having the same yuck feeling when ‘Bruce Almighty’ was released. Although, when I actually saw the movie it wasn’t that bad. At least, I didn’t think of it as sacrilegious. I even used clips of it in youth ministry…i.e. the concept of God answering ‘yes’ to each and every prayer request, the concept of the trinity in the janitor, electrician and boss, and the concept of mans' innate bent toward selfishness.

I wonder what ‘Evan Almighty’ (the sequel for Bruce Almighty) will have in store for us. ‘Underdog’ also has my curiosity peeked, so I may have to borrow my nephews again when August 5th rolls around. Either show won’t have to be that great a blockbuster to beat the rat movie we watched yesterday~

Coincidence?

Before I came to this post, I had just talked to the S-I-L on the telephone. He said for us to be sure and go see Underdog!!

Ummm...is it a good thing, bad thing or God thing? Don't keep me in such suspense!

I don't know...he didn't say!! (he just thought H would like Underdog because he's a Beagle) We'll just have to see the movie and judge for ourselves!
