sermon musings: weird science

Garry: That's not a bad idea.
Wyatt: What?
Garry: Making a girl. Actually making a girl. Like Frankenstein... except cuter.
Wyatt: [stands up] You're serious?
[Gary grabs Wyatt by the collar and pulls him towards him]
Garry: Look me in the eye. Do I look serious?
Wyatt: Gary Wallace, that's-that's gross! That's sick! I am not digging up dead girls!
[Gary puts his hand over Wyatt's mouth and sits him down on the bed]
Garry: No, I'm not talking about digging up dead girls, Wyatt. I'm talking about your system, idiot, your computer!

This week should prove to be a particular challenge. But I just could not pass it up. Yes! Weird Science! Is there something of the Gospel in this film? I have no idea. Oingo Boingo, Anthony Michael Hall, Kelly LeBrock, Robert Downey, Jr. and Bill Paxton...what a combination! Somehow I just know that this is going it work. It has to! It's just too insane, stupid and perfect not to.

Do you all have any thoughts? I'm always willing to hear ideas about these films. Should I preach about the objectification of women? That would be something that would connect.

There are many options.

It's been many years since I last saw that movie, but the quote you provided as a sideline suggests that you could also discuss these guys' efforts to be the Creator.

Another avenue would be the desire we all have to control our environment, but no matter how hard we try, the world always surprises us in ways we cannot control or expect.

Robert... Robert Downey Jr.
