If you understood it, it would have been hilarious. Tsk! Barry |

"Willow" wrote in message ... Yes, "The Religion" is indeed rather bloody. *Willocks is a psychiatrist who once dated Madonna, we are told. *A good read but I do have to wonder about the movie- like addition of the young boy. Rather like the addition of children to each of Michael Crichton's "Jurrasic Park" movies. *It seemed like the young lad was added to make the book appeal to a larger demographic, not to enhance the story. *The blood and gore go with that type of appeal. "The Religion" was to be the first of a trilogy but my sense is that it did not do well enough to merit further development. *Speaking of which, has the Dan Brown book on the Knights Templar gone the way of the wild goose (and anyone old enough to remember that as a song gets ten points! *Naming tghe singer gets you ten more). Willow Probably the influence of Spielberg. In almost every movie of his he has children as important main or subsidiary characters. Almost every film has some kid in danger. It is almost a trademark of his. Take care -- Stanley L. Moore "The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness." Joseph Conrad So where is this different from Disney? Barry |

Some neat books this weekend
i have not found any good books recently, but i found two great ones
over the years. i was renting a house and an old guy told me i could keep anything i wanted if i cleaned out the garage for him. it was a horrible mess, but there was one book i found in great condition; "tarzan of the apes",first edition.... this got me collecting books and i found another good one at a yard sale a few years later; ernest hemmingway;" farewell to arms" first edition" for 50 cents...in really good condition....since then i have found quite a few good ones at yard sales, but the good ones are getting harder and harder to find.. "THE BLACK HAND" is the name of the international terrorist group that is causing all the problems. |
