This post is an oxyposting: two opposite posts in one post. I came across a couple of quotes: the first from a random Journal entry of mine (I don’t know where I got it), and the second from a friend’s sermon. The opposite from profound: last summer a friend and I “made” a video response to the most stupid movie ever, “Gerry”, with zero profound or memorable quotes. (I’m not linking to its website because you are smarter than that!)
Quote 1: “Grace runs downhill and pools in the lowest places.”
Quote 2: “God puts us in situations we may not have chosen, and so we have to learn to lead through it. When the going gets tough don’t turn your back on it.” –Dave Bianchin
Watch the response to the least creative and time wasting movie ever, here, but don’t click until you read further. I just love this spontaneous video we made last summer. It’s based on the really stupid movie made by Matt Damon and Casey Affleck called “Gerry”. In “Gerry”, beware! Caution! NOTHING HAPPENS! But in our response, something does happen! Gerry won not one, but two awards! The movie summary: A friendship between two twenty-something men is tested to its very limits when they go on a hike in a desert and forget to bring any water or food with them. The movie has the crunching sound of walking on gravel throughout, so we thought we’d spice up our response version of it to make ours more interesting. And ours is only 65 seconds long, compared to 100 minutes of stone crunching noises!
If you must see more about the movie, click here to see some reviews at the bottom of the page. The first review shows why it received a 6.2 rating, but I think they made the film just to fool people into watching idiocy, much like Damon’s and the other Affleck’s movie about Jesus, “Dogma.”
