Movie Favorite

"As the son of an Episcopal priest, I have a semi-complex relationship with religion. I’ve remained fairly agnostic throughout most of my life, but I admire the seed of the Christian myth—that there can exist in the world a love that gives and asks nothing in return. No movie crystallizes this idea better than Bresson’s Au hasard Balthazar, which rips my heart out every time I watch it. The Christian ideal exists in humanity fleetingly, but by casting a donkey as his Christ surrogate, Bresson evokes the saintly disposition to which we should all aspire as effectively as (if not more so than) Roberto Rossellini does in The Flowers of St. Francis."

A fun musing

It finally arrived. I had been waiting for this to come since winning it. The Witt & Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister is exactly what it says on the cover.
Every quote that Tyrion let rip and secured his character as one of the best to ever be read in book or seen on screen is here.
They are all grouped in to chapters from The art of war to religion and even romance as only Tyrion could get away with saying.
This book takes about 15 minutes to get through but for any fan of Game of Thrones it is a great edition to a collection.
Well worth picking up a copy.
