I don't know why I haven't seen it. Was it rated R or something? If it's rated R, that would explain it. I never watched rated R movies as a Mormon. Really, I still don't watch very many of them.

They are all rated R. I'm not one to take a throwaway comment from a dead prophet and elevate it to holy writ especially when it hands my choice of what to watch over to a ratings board filled with people I don't know.

Max Skousen wrote a book a while back on the Matrix. I want to say it was his Beyond the Mark Book three or something. After he died, they were on the net and still might be if you look hard enough. He was definitely a fringe Mormon and was exed for his ideas, but I found them insightful and refreshing. His main idea (I think) throughout his writings is that the church is largely composed of people who are spiritually asleep (walking in darkness at noonday so to speak) and that the whole temple experience was a lesson to try to "wake you up". His Temple Book was pretty good too, full of things I never considered.

Could I be the merovingian (just so i could hang out with persephone)?

Still waiting for Will to back this up...

I won't compete, I almost claimed him but my anti-French bias from serving in England is still intact.

OMG! YES! You have to watch it!
All three movies are rated R...although I'm really not sure why.

Run, don't walk; RUN to your nearest movie place and rent it IMMEDIATELY!
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"

If you own a car I suggest driving. :)
