I cannot talk about anything without talking about everything. --Chesterton
Fundamentally there are only three miracles: existence, life, intelligence; with intelligence, the curve springing from God closes on itself like a ring that in reality has never been parted from the Infinite. --Schuon
The quest, thus, has no external 'object,' but is reality itself becoming luminous for its movement from the ineffable, through the Cosmos, to the ineffable. --Voegelin
A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes. --Wittgenstein
You mean I can finally let 'er rip?
ReplyDeleteRecently, I watched (for the 2nd time) Terence Malick's "The Tree of Life". I found it to be a beautiful and moving film. It seems relatively rare these days for someone to make such an epic work of art--entirely unironically. Arvo Part comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if other Raccoons had seen it, and if so, what they thought of the film.
To get a taste search for "The Tree of Life: Lacrimosa" on youtube.
I haven't seen it, but my mom spoke very highly of it. Which unfortunately gives me a bit of pause :)
ReplyDeleteBut as far as excellent recent movies go, we watched "Mud" on Netflix this past weekend, and both thought it one of the best movies we've seen in years.
Cooncur with Julie on Mud. Recalls one of the Twain books and a little of the Night of the Hunter in the way that time passed in a rather dreamlike way. I think the writer is a fan of Mr Twain.
ReplyDeleteThe boy in it is in Tree of Life also - great lil actor.
Newsflash! I have converted to Christianity.
ReplyDeleteBring the whole family to see my new flick:
Jaws Of Life
Finally, a film you can sink your teeth into.
Can a great white become a raccoon?

Here's some awesome reviews of my book:
ReplyDelete"I'll never put on a lifejacket again." Quint
"I think that I'm familiar with the fact that you are going to ignore this particular problem until it swims up and bites you in the ass!"
Hooper
"He ate the light." Hooper
"That's some bad hat Harry." Brody
Sorry guys. Apparently, Jaws stole my identity.
ReplyDeleteWayway wait. Dontellme.

ReplyDeleteWell, you know the sound of that is something quite atrocious!
ReplyDeleteMight as well do somethin while you're doing nuthin.
ReplyDeleteGood interview of an amazing lady nonagenerian:
Alice Von Hildebrand: Man and Woman: A Divine Invention
"Mud" sounds like one I'd like.
ReplyDeleteMy wife really liked "There Will Be Blood". You have to admire Daniel Day-Lewis. I made her watch "Last of the Mohicans" afterward, though.
Bob, boxer or briefs? Or the orthoparadoxically boxer-brief?
ReplyDelete"Bob, boxer or briefs? Or the orthoparadoxically boxer-brief?"
ReplyDeleteThere was a time when I briefly boxed.
Boxer-briefs are the greatest invention of the 21st Century
ReplyDeleteRaccoons. If you don't discourage them, they'll tip the garbage cans.
ReplyDeleteEvery time!
Yeah, but sometimes a little vicarious mayhem is good for the soul. At least on a "Oh, yeah, that's why it sucks to do that".
ReplyDeleteAnd really, who can resist the sincere assurances and Gagdad's posts are just exactly the sort of stuff online casiono's and viagra peddlers enjoy most?
