I enjoyed The Rock and I don't think Armageddon is the worst film ever made, which doesn't mean it doesn't suck. Both Bad Boys films and Pearl Harbor are awesomely bad, though. Michael Bay could learn a thing or two about subtlety from Tony Scott and Simon West.

Am I mistaken in remembering that in Armageddon when the space station's about to blow up they all get in the shuttle WE SEE A FOOT PRESS ON THE GAS and then it flies off?

My favorite detail there is the late november release date - like they figure this is going to be the kind of oscar-bait flick that always opens around thanksgiving.

Today's Theme:

Jesus is God. Jesus can raise the dead

Materials Needed: Promised Land mat
Christ figure
blocks,
2 Fisher Price or similar type woman figures
4 or 5 Fisher Price or similar type men figures
rocks enough to make a tomb for Lazarus
scrap of white cloth, tissue or napkin, etc to make grave clothes

Game: People can/Jesus can - A take off on Simon says Have the kids line up at one end of the room
Tell the kids that every time you make a true statement they can take 2 steps forward.
Every time you make a false statement they should stand still and not move.
If they move when you said something false they have to take 2 steps backward.
The object of the game is to make it to a designated place on the other side of the room.
Give them a series of true and false statements such as: Jesus made people with wings so they can fly (false)
People can make dead people alive (false)
Jesus can heal the sick
People can build airplanes
People can make birds (false)
etc.

Telling the Story: Our game was about things that people can do and things that Jesus can do.
And it was about things that Jesus can do but people can't do.
Have any of you ever had a pet die? Let kids answer

How did you feel when you lost your pet? Let kids answer

Was there anything you could do to make your pet alive again?
Today we're learning that Jesus is God. Jesus can raise the dead.

The Transformers are divided into two groups of robots, one led by Optimus Prime, which believes in tolerance and the sanctity of life, the other by Megatron, which espouses survival of the fittest and the extermination of biological life.

When I hear right wing nutcases mouth off about how Hollywood politicizes everything, I usually roll my eyes, but then I read this...

This sounds consistent with the politics of Armegeddon, in which oil rig worker Bruce Willis bravely took on a boat full of environmentalists
