The ‘Son of God’ movie gave us the swaggiest Jesus ever seen on the silver screen

It’s not easy creating a Jesus movie and having it be real good. Especially since the story of Jesus has so many layers to it, you can’t cover all of them in a film. And since the last major motion Jesus film came out 10 years ago (“The Passion of the Christ”) it was a big deal to see how this one would do.

With that said, I have been a major critic of how Jesus has been portrayed in film in the past. In fact, I am fascinated about how the world views Him. So entering into this film, I was afraid that the Jesus we were going to get would be a boring one like the many ones we’ve seen in movies past. Instead, this Jesus had an edge to him, a swag that I wasn’t ready to see. And because of this, this was the side of Jesus in film that I had never seen before.

As mentioned earlier, there were a lot of things from Jesus’ life that could not be fit into the movie. His baptism, various miracles were delegated to the ending credits. The movie was told from the perspective of the apostle John and throughout the entire movie, a follower named Mary (not Martha’s sister, possibly Magdalene?) actually hung out with Jesus along with the 12 disciples. (I guess total factual accuracies were sacrificed to make the Hollywood film, well, Hollywood.) Throughout the first part of the movie, it feels that they had to condense and rush through some key miracles and messages before they got to the Last Supper — but it’s understandable. But I was impressed with one scene from it.

Raiders owner: 2014 is Oakland’s ‘last chance’ to keep team

Good. Move the Raiders away. They are the reason why the A’s struggle and can’t get a new stadium. All they do is just hog up the place. Go away.

In one month I’ll get my supplies back and I’ll work on this. I hope by then we’ll officially know his number so I can paint it on.

This might feature that new green alt and cap. We’ll see.

Happy birthday, George Harrison!

You’re the best!

The True Identity of Andy’s Mom In “Toy Story” Will Blow Your Mind

WHAT???? I want to be convinced this theory works but I don’t know of her reaction when she sees Jessie again. She never said “I had one like that as a kid” or anything of that sort.

It all started with a hat.

Several months ago, one of my anonymous Pixar Theory Interns (that’s a thing on a resume) came to me with a crazy proposition: Andy’s mom is Emily, Jessie’s previous owner.

I laughed. I then agreed.

For some time, I compiled all of the evidence and found some incredible support for this theory. For one thing, take a close look at Andy’s cowboy hat he frequently wears in the movies:

Here’s another close look:

As you can see, Andy’s hat is noticeably different from Woody’s. Why is this? Why wouldn’t Andy want to wear a hat that closely resembles the one worn by his favorite toy?

It’s no secret that Andy has a close connection with Woody. In Toy Story 2, his mom (who we only know as Ms. Davis) mentions that Woody is an old family toy.

Remember that Woody doesn’t even recall that…

BuzzFeed has a quiz about which of Jesus’ disciple you are — it’s as stupid as it sounds

Which One Of Jesus’s Disciples Are You? http://t.co/0v1CxIwUxd pic.twitter.com/gXab9sHjCc

— BuzzFeed (@BuzzFeed) February 21, 2014

First of all, that happened. There’s been a craze of quizzes from Buzzfeed lately. Which Beatle are you? Which ice cream are you? Which 19th century poet are you?

These are all fun and stuff, but when did this fun quiz decide going into a major religion was a good idea?

Apparently, I am not the only one to think that.

Matthew McConaughey on ‘Dallas Buyers Club’: ‘Damn Right This Is a Great Time in My Career’

This guy is balling out of control right now. “Dallas Buyers Club” is great and “True Detective” is gripping.

The Prodigal Son’s Father

The warm embrace of a father.

Probably one of the most famous parables from Jesus is called “The Prodigal Son” and it’s a great story because it is about forgiveness despite screwups. You can read the story right here.

This story is so well-known that a lot of people identify with the prodigal son because we have fallen away from our father, gone out and wasted everything out of selfishness and have been left unhappy and lost. Of course, the story shows us that when we return to our father, hoping to be accepted again, our father welcomes us back with open arms.

It always seems to me that story focuses so much on the son, and the reaction and sermons are so focused on the son, that I always feel that the main character of the entire story is not talked about a lot. Even though we identify with the son, it’s the father that should be talked about a little more.

I’m discovering that there is a new Mew single that has been out for months

Mew is in my top 5 favorite bands of all time and this single apparently has been in the works since last June and been out in about for a few months now.
