Perplexing question

After thoroughly loving the works of Tarantino and Hal Hartley - how the hell is it that I never thought of getting into Godard until after watching The Dreamers which is directed by Bertolucci who I'm not even that fond of (it was NC-17 - it was pretty cool.) especially after Stealing Beauty.

ANyhow - watched Band A Part (or Band of Outsiders but if I call it Band A Part I'm instantly shamed in having seen the logo for the Tarantino production company and only thinking of Reservoir Dogs) and loved it. I loved it more than Breathless. And I want to be Anna Karina's slave. I don't care if she did this movie 10 years before I was born making her at least 28 years older than me.

Oh yeah I was also celebrating Passover but I'm still reeling from Band A Part (and also rather happy that Hellboy did three times the business as Passion - take that Jesus!)

Actors Whip Easter Bunny at Church Show

GLASSPORT, Pa. (AP) - A church trying to teach about the crucifixion of Jesus performed an Easter show with actors whipping the Easter bunny and breaking eggs, upsetting several parents and young children.

People who attended Saturday's performance at Glassport's memorial stadium quoted performers as saying, ``There is no Easter bunny,'' and described the show as being a demonstration of how Jesus was crucified.

Melissa Salzmann, who brought her 4-year-old son J.T., said the program was inappropriate for young children. ``He was crying and asking me why the bunny was being whipped,'' Salzmann said.

Patty Bickerton, the youth minister at Glassport Assembly of God, said the performance wasn't meant to be offensive. Bickerton portrayed the Easter rabbit and said she tried to act with a tone of irreverence.

``The program was for all ages, not just the kids. We wanted to convey that Easter is not just about the Easter bunny, it is about Jesus Christ,'' Bickerton said.

Performers broke eggs meant for an Easter egg hunt and also portrayed a drunken man and a self-mutilating woman, said Jennifer Norelli-Burke, another parent who saw the show in Glassport, a community about 10 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
``It was very disturbing,'' Norelli-Burke said. ``I could not believe what I saw. It wasn't anything I was expecting.''

This sounds even cooler than the Hell Houses.
