Day Two: Favorite movie"Leave it to the Catholics to destroy existence."-Serendipity
This is one is easy. My favorite movie hands-down is
Dogma. I have seen it so many times, I can probably quote it verbatim, but it never gets old for me. It's just so damn funny. It's probably the lapsed Catholic in me, but I love the not-so-subtle nose-tweaking Kevin Smith gave the Church and religion in general. It's such a smart movie, and I think the fact that I actually learned a few things from it that I never learned in Sunday school is kind of cool.
Not to mention that it has Alan Rickman, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon all sporting wings. Mmmmm.... ;P
On a side note, I think one of the reasons I love Supernatural so much is because of how closely some of the angel's lines mirror Bartleby's in the scene below.
"Our Father! He stopped being that - if he ever was - the moment he created them. Humanity. His favorites!"- Uriel to Castiel in 'On the Head of a Pin'
"And then God created you. The little hairless apes. And then he asked all of us us to bow down before you. To love you more than Him. And I said, 'Father, I can't. These human beings are flawed. Murderous.' And for that, God had Michael cast me into hell. Now tell me, does the punishment fit the crime? Especially when I was right. Look at what six billion of you have done to this thing. And how many of you blame me for it."- Lucifer to Dean in 'The End'
"These humans have besmirched everything He's bestowed upon them. They were given paradise - they threw it away. They were given this planet - they destroyed it. They were favored best among all His endeavors. And some of them don't even believe He exists. And in spite of it all, He has shown them infinite fucking patience at every turn.
What about us? I asked you once to lay down the sword because I felt sorry for them. And what was the result? Our expulsion from paradise. Where was His infinite fucking patience then? It's not right! It's not fair!"- Bartleby to Loki in
DogmaI know that I am probably just seeing connections that aren't really there. Hell, maybe all angry angels say similar things. But hearing Lucifer and Uriel making the same arguments that Bartleby did made just makes me grin. :)
