Pastor Carl
In the movie version of Carl Sagan's "Contact", this is a moment that has continually helped me to reconcile some of the conflicting beliefs within myself:
Ellie: [speaking about the existence of God] I don't know. I think in order for me to be able to buy into something that big--I'd need proof."
Palmer: "...Did you love your father?"
Ellie: "What?"
Palmer: "Your father, did you love him?"
Ellie: "Yes. Very much."
Palmer: "Prove it."
Ellie: [speaking about the existence of God] I don't know. I think in order for me to be able to buy into something that big--I'd need proof."
Palmer: "...Did you love your father?"
Ellie: "What?"

lunchtyme
Im listening to the Prince of Egypt soundtrack this afternoon because it is one of my favorite scores ever.
And ok fine, because i dont have a tv.
I remember when this movie first came out it was compared a lot to The Greatest Story Ever Told when it came out in the...fifties? Sixties? Anyway it was compared to that because it was a biblical story and so many famous actors wanted on board, so it had an all-star cast of a similar caliber. And I was imagining the conversation that the agents of almost every actor probably had when pitching the script:
Agent: Hey [famous hollywood actor], I've got a script here for a new animated film coming out, they want you to be the voice of [Biblical character].
Actor: "Wait...like the Bible? You have got to be kidding me if you think I'm going to be part of that hypocritical, oppressive Christian crap! Those people are CRAZ...
Agent: This is about the Exodus story.
Actor: [blank stare]
Agent: From the Old Testament.
Actor: [blank stare]
Agent: Its about Moses, he was Jewish.
Actor: OMG YES!! Christianity is totally last season but the Jews are so in!!! MOSES IS SO HOT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!

no more tv
This is what my living room looks like from my couch now. I put my tv in storage for a while because i realized that about 90% of everything i talk about or reference in any situation usually has to do with a tv show, and that is sad. Its also sad how hard it is for me to adjust to the visual absence of a tv. Right now it looks really strange and empty. And i was weirdly dumbfounded about what to put in the spot where my tv used to be. Obviously i figured it out eventually
