What Do You Think About...

Son of Rambow

It's hard for me to resist an artsy dramedy about two kids discovering the joys of filmmaking. I suggest you don't even try. Just see it more than once...I've noticed that it takes at least two viewings to really appreciate these types of films.

"I think that a writer is always going to be confessing at all times. No matter what he does, he's always going to be talking about what he thinks, what he believes. Even if it's in irony, if it's in story, if it's in whatever-you're always revealing a lot about yourself."

The Rebels Guide to Joy

These videos are short biographies on some of the great Christian song writers. I think that these videos do a beautiful job of showing that the Christian life is more than the stereotype "be a good person and your life will be great!" These artists suffered, even after their conversion. But what they achieved in their lifetimes has brought countless blessings to other believers for generations. Even if you're not a Christian, check these out...I think that you'll find these stories interesting no matter what your religious belief.

I Heart NYC

Sarah Jessica Parker said that she liked this dress because it reminded her of New York City's architecture. Being somewhat of an architecture dork, that comment endeared me more to this dress than I would have felt inclined to be otherwise. 

But I still think it's purty.

Lyrics to Derek Webb's "A Savior On Capitol Hill"

I'm so tired of these mortal men

With their hands in their pockets and their hearts full of sin

Scared of their enemies, scared of their friends

And always running for re-election

So come to DC if it be thy will 

Because we've never had a saviour on Capitol Hill

You can always trust the devil or a politician

To be the devil or a politician

But beyond that friends you'd best beware

'Cause at the Pentagon bar they're an inseparable pair

And as long as the lobbyists are paying their bills

We've never had a saviour on Capitol Hill

All of our problems gonna disappear

When we can whisper right in our President's ear

He could walk right across the reflection pool

In his combat boots and ten thousand dollar suit

You can render unto Caesar everything that's his

You can trust in his power to come to your defense

It's the way of the world, the way of the gun

It's the trading of an evil for a lesser one

So don't hold your breath or your vote until

You think you've finally found a savior up on Capitol Hill
