Whether they were serious or not, and it looks like a serious failed blockbuster, I think that, as Cracked explained Spider-Man, it’s really an overblown story about puberty: fear and awe of women and of sex. (Vampire stories are said to be disguised erotica.) The dimestore psychology that was supposed to make it serious? Very beta (which sci-fi fans often are?) as Roissy would say. It’s European (nudity) so the soft porn is amped up. Looked up the lovely lead: she’s French, Mathilda May. Catholic alert: it also has a special-effects Brompton Oratory, in real life one of the best places on earth. The whole thing: From Takimag

Labels: fedoras, the Catholic faith 4:27 PM Permalink          Best: ‘Christine’, a ’58 Plymouth Savoy.      A sedan like in the book. Stephen King had only the idea of a car from the time that’s not a cliché like the ’57 Chevy; the name Fury was just what he wanted of course but he admits he didn’t know much about the car so many details are wrong (Furys are coupes for example).

From Ad Orientem: the Archdiocese of New York, historically the American church’s powerhouse (Cardinal Spellman’s chancery was the Powerhouse), ordained one priest this year. But his first Mass was Tridentine High. More. Pope Benedict’s smaller, sounder, fighting-trim church, not the dominant cultural Catholicism of the New York of yore nor the ‘renewal’ nonsense that destroyed it (all the liberals are old now). 70 years ago New York got so many vocations (lots of sons of big immigrant families) that the seminary, Dunwoody, deliberately flunked out a percentage of them. No more Novus in 20 years? Great! Veni, creator Spiritus... Labels: history, the Catholic faith 7:49 AM PermalinkFrom Mark in Spokane

On special occasions like this, the parish I live in does the traditional Mass! I’m indifferent to the cultus of St Philomena (no proof she’s real; same rule as with all approved devotions: it’s not heretical and you can’t prove it’s a fraud so you can believe in it if you want) – not a hill I’m willing to die on – but I like the package she’s part of. Her followers tend to be sound on the important things. Shared a pew with an All Saints Sister of the Poor. First time I’ve seen them since they came into the church. There are very few Episcopal nuns; this fine conservative order in full ‘penguin’ habits finally became what they were often taken to be. Jesus saves. Mary prays. Benedict is Pope. Oremus pro invicem. Labels: the Catholic faith 8:27 PM Permalink  Furniture.  Are you ready for the summer?
