Heroes and Hang-ups: May 2009
http://heroesandhangups.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 20 May 2009. I don't want to reveal anything from the new Star Trek film, for those who haven't seen it yet and want to, except to say that Zachary Quinto. As the young Spock is uncannily like the original, almost eerily so. As with all good action stories containing the heroic journey, the road of trials exists both externally and internally for the central characters, with the outcome of the internal shaping the character's ability to deal with the external, and vice versa. In hindsight this...

Heroes and Hang-ups: Red Dwarf - Back to Reality (contains spoilers)
http://heroesandhangups.blogspot.com/2009/05/red-dwarf-back-to-reality-contains.html
Sunday, 3 May 2009. Red Dwarf - Back to Reality (contains spoilers). It's ages since I posted anything here, but I just have to say - the new episodes of Red Dwarf - what is all that about? I loved that show, but what a load of utter nonsense. The minute they introduced the concept that the characters only had existence within a TV show they destroyed the ability to suspend disbelief. Basic rule of writing. Aaaarrrrgggghhhhhh. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Glasgow, United Kingdom. Is concerned prim...

Heroes and Hang-ups: June 2009
http://heroesandhangups.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, 4 June 2009. David Carradine, Death and Discovery. I don't want my imagination tainted with sordid reality. I agree with Joseph Campbell. As a Christian I have struggled with this for years, fretting over my frequent reluctance to live in the here and now, and wondering and worrying if I was straying over a line into idolatry. Is full of the news of the death of one of them. David Carradine's. Back in the 70s I have been captivated by the character of Kwai. And admired the actor who brought him...

Heroes and Hang-ups: August 2007
http://heroesandhangups.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 1 August 2007. United we stand, divided I protect you? After waiting for the initial mania to wear off I managed to get along to see. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Is the superior actor of the three young stars. In their place, a great deal of screen time was given to Imelda Staunton in her role as Delores Umbridge - whom she portrayed marvellously - but in a Harry Potter film, you expect to see a bit more of Harry Potter! There are also times when we need to accept that effecting...

Heroes and Hang-ups: June 2007
http://heroesandhangups.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, 28 June 2007. Is there a Doctor in the house? I'm feeling a little behind the times here, but persistent problems with my router (which aren't completely rectified yet) has meant that I haven't been able to post over the last couple of weeks, even though I had made a start. Thursday, 21 June 2007. Look fair and feel foul. Indeed the lines blur between good and evil when the bad guys and the good guys are hard to tell apart. Is this more true to life? Probably but yet we sense that in the end go...

Heroes and Hang-ups: Pacifism as Heroism
http://heroesandhangups.blogspot.com/2009/05/pacifism-as-heroism.html
Sunday, 17 May 2009. I found myself, rather unusually, in a conversation with another female about. Normally these are TV shows with a predominantly. Male audience, so it was nice to talk to another woman. I'm just about old enough to remember. From when it first aired on British TV - although can I say that I am not really that old, I just have incredible recall (honest! Spend years working towards true understanding. The Water Margin),. And conversely my studies have, not necessarily. However, pacifism...

Heroes and Hang-ups: July 2007
http://heroesandhangups.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 31 July 2007. Guy Gavriel Kay,. The Last Light of the Sun. London: Pocket Books, 2004), p. 382. When a stone is tossed into pool it just seems to disappear under the water - is there any point then in throwing it there? It disappears under the water, but the ripples reach the far side. Is it enough then to act when we feel that action is required, even when it seems to make no difference, or is claiming that 'it won't make any difference' just another form of laziness or cowardice. Fear like tha...
