This is the story of a collection of people who follow Jesus. We live in Littleton. We encounter people in the name of Jesus, we allow Jesus to turn us into disciples, we gather often, and we equip people to love and serve other people better.

The movie Watchmen

Rented it from Redbox last night.

Definitely a good superhero movie.

Like all good superhero movies it wrestles with identity, and purpose, and justice and the frailty of human live.

I didn't like the existentialism of the film.  It kept saying, "If God does exist, he must not care very much about humans."

The quote that has me thinking is a dialogue between two heroes.  One says "What happened to the American Dream?" and the other one says, "It came true!"  That is crazy.  So much of the American dream was about consumerism, and now we have it all, but are not happy. 

 

Hmmmm.....
