Stephen Fry’s take on modern theology
“God once had Bach and Michelangelo on his side, he had Mozart, and now who does he have? People with ginger whiskers and tinted spectacles who reduce the glories of theology to a kind of ‘sharing’… that’s what religion has become, a feeble and anaemic nonsense.”
I got sent this link by e-mail a couple of weeks ago, but have only now managed to actually listen to it. Good stuff, and certainly something which believers need to ponder.
Says the priest with ginger whiskers :o)

Alien v Predator: Requiem

Mind-numbingly awful – it takes a lot to make me fast-forward through a film but this definitely had what it takes: incoherent, confusing, pointless, misanthropic, lacking any sense of narrative. Possibly the worst-directed film I’ve ever had the misfortune to sit through. NB I watched this a few weeks ago and forgot to post the review. Can’t think why.
