Cinemagogue ContentCinemASSEMBLE!
“It’s been traveling twenty-two years to get here. And now it’s here. And it’s either heads or tails. And you have to say. Call it.” - Anton Chigurh
So the time has come to expand Cinemagogue and let it be more than my singular platform for exploring film, narrative themes, the gospel, and all these meaningless movies under the sun. I’m meeting Sunday with a small team of potential contributors who will hopefully allow us to explore classic films, indie films, DVD releases, and more. One of the main reasons I’ve done this for so long is a desire to see others think and discern when they engage. Seeing others growing to the point where they desire to contribute and teach is like icing on a cinematic cake.
Also, I’m prepping to show and teach on our big award winner for 2008 this next week with a live showing of the film and subsequent exposition. For those living in a cave (a cavern far from the Coen Brothers) that would be No Country for Old Men, showing Friday May 9 at the Wedgwood Campus of Mars Hill Church. This one will be tough. And fun. Hopefully it won’t get mixed in with the others and become just a movie. Which it is.
Will your audio comments for the movie be online afterward? I have some thoughts on that movie but A) very few have seen it around me here in Raleigh and B) Don’t think critically about what they watch. I would love to see if my thoughts about it lined up with yours. In the past (other podcasts I’ve listened to), they have.
love your use of the movie’s quotes, Friendo.
[…] haven’t forgotten about this. However, this Friday, the folks at Film and Theology at Mars Hill Church in Seattle will be watching this. I’m waiting to hear what James Harleman has to say before writing up […]
audio commentary on the film is up, BTW as a supplemental post on the site.
