I could not agree more. I stopped reading it after the third paragraph.

This article is horribly written. It jars the reader constantly with pop culture referrences like Carrot Top and then nonsensical similes about the “old media”. Rather thacoming off as a mature discussion about the movie, its plot and various other devices, it reads as pretentious claptrap.

maidrya: I agree with your critique of Cavill’s expressions. It wasn’t exactly *bad*, but it was a little off/out of place for Superman. He reminded me of Spock too much.

ZZ: Yep, I was similarly impressed. The thing I wished would happen was for some soldier to do SOMETHING to the villains. I’d rather see a soldier die actually inflicting wounds than to watch incredulously as the villains just sit and wait for their own demise. (The ending would qualify as the villain simply wanting to die)

Comment on Luther’s Big Mouth by theoldadam

I’m with you, Anthony. If it drives Christ…then I don’t care from who’s mouth it is uttered or from who’s pen it flows.

Luther himself said this;

“All upright sacred books agree on one thing, that they all collectively preach and promote Christ. Likewise, the true criterion for criticizing all books is to see whether they promote Christ or not, since all scripture manifests Christ. Whatever does not teach Christ is not apostolic, even if Peter and Paul should teach it. On the other hand, whatever preaches Christ is apostolic, even if Judas, Annas, Pilate, and Herod should do it!” (LW 35:396)
