Last weekend we purchased the movie Nacho Libre on DVD. And I was totally flipping excited to watch it, since I missed it in the theaters just like I’ve missed nearly every movie in the theater since about mid year 1998. Having children dramatically effects your theater going ability. Dramatically people. Although this is Utah and people just take their kids to the movies anyway. For some reason parents here in the land of Deseret didn’t get instructed on social etiquette, because they feel it is perfectly acceptable to take their very small children with them ANYWHERE THEY GO. There is nothing like watching Gollum bite Frodo’s finger off while a one year old squeals from the seat behind you. The only thing close to being like it is watching Gollum bite Frodo’s finger off and having your four year old ask you to rewind it so he can watch it again from his seat next to you on the couch.
So I was excited to watch the movie, and I wasn’t disappointed. It was cute and funny and off the wall. But my favorite part was when Nacho asks his friend Steven if he is going to pray to God for help wrestling, and Steven answers “I don’t believe in God, I believe in science.” I totally didn’t expect it, but it Made. My. Weekend.
What made my Wednesday was when I was reading some news on msnbc.com. There were two articles, one about coffee and the other about red wine, and both affirmed and strengthened my belief in my religion (science), instead of a belief in, lets say, a religion with a crazy fabricated food law.
