I cut this trailer for my unproduced religious supernatural thriller feature, The Evangelist.

Would you watch this movie?

[Jave Galt-Miller @PelopsWar]

@peterboghossian To those who have imaginations, you are safe. For now.

@marcportermagee As a 9-year old in the 80s, I never read for fun.

But as a 12-year-old, I was reading for fun way more than anyone else my age. (Because I found books that no school or parent would ever recommend.)

@nicksortor Is the game not being televised or internetized?

[Jave Galt-Miller @PelopsWar]

@S_Mikhailovich (OK, that last is from American movies. But the British ones tend to be some of the most interesting.)

[Jave Galt-Miller @PelopsWar]

@S_Mikhailovich I watched a bunch of '41-'44 movies lately, many of them directly talking about the war (from Allies side).

It's a pretty interesting perspective. Most project optimism, but many end with something like, "And we're still fighting today! Buy Liberty Bonds!"

@SirJBritain This is also the theme of Independence Day.

@Askwhyisit Jesus of history also didn't believe he was the son of God. Probably.

(That's not to say he didn't have some whacky beliefs.)

@robbysoave The closest in-person sentiment I've heard is, "Do you recycle?"

But then, I'm not really someone people go to for life advice...

[Jave Galt-Miller @PelopsWar]

@theerealtao And even that hierarchical order, in some sense, is objective. Again, insofar as A leads to, and/or supports, B; but C hampers and/or undermines B.

Objective facts still sometimes require testing and debate.

[Jave Galt-Miller @PelopsWar]

@theerealtao Now, values are by definition subjective, in that a subject is required to do the valuing.

But values have a hierarchy, and in order to live together in a society, at least the top of that hierarchy has to be agreed on.

@JonahDispatch I broke down there in 2007 on my way across the country. (Or maybe I'm lying.)

[Jave Galt-Miller @PelopsWar]

@johnkonrad I didn't even go for the German- or Irish- thing. I was always just an American. And still am.

@Bananas_R_Silly @ManDaveJobGood (In California it's a bit different from the norm, since many races are between Democrats; Republicans aren't even represented.)

[Jave Galt-Miller @PelopsWar]

@Bananas_R_Silly @ManDaveJobGood I think voting "republican" or "democrat" because you identify as "republican" or "democrat" is a different kind of stupid.

I was referring to people who identify as "democrat" (or republican), yet don't even have enough understanding to know/select their particular candidate.

[Jave Galt-Miller @PelopsWar]

@jnatch @nocontextmemes I pretty much love Bonfire of the Vanities as is. (And I did read the book a long time ago...)

[Jave Galt-Miller @PelopsWar]

@ManDaveJobGood I just don't understand people who allow someone else to make voting choices for them. If you don't have enough info to make a choice, then don't vote.

(Or write in "Mickey Mouse" or something, like I do for most judge spots.)

[Jave Galt-Miller @PelopsWar]

@ManDaveJobGood There was a guy in my office who'd regularly volunteer and help people fill out their ballots to best reflect a proper Democrat approach.

He had no intention to destroy the city/state. He believed he was doing good. Presumably the people who gave their ballots also thought so.

[Jave Galt-Miller @PelopsWar]

@peterboghossian If they take people's phones, I'm for it.

[Jave Galt-Miller @PelopsWar]

@kausmickey There IS a difference in email wording between the current and previous elections. The only question is, were the earlier "counted" emails lies, or is the current "accepted" email a case of CYA?
