Actually, it just makes me question Spielberg's sanity

The existence of aliens would not disprove Christianity. The very Christian author, C.S. Lewis, wrote a novel imagining God interacting with intelligent beings on another planet and making an entirely different path to salvation than the one on earth (Perelandra).  I assume Spielberg thinks Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and members of all other religions would remain secure in their religious beliefs after seeing the movie. Why so?

Btw, The Critical Drinker pronounces himself...unimpressed.

 

Classical corner

French baroque-period composer Jean-Féry Rebel's "Le Cahos" from his ballet Les élémens. The opening sounds astonishingly modernist in its dramatic dissonance.

Scotland the not so brave

"The Little Girl With Knife and Axe Just Gave the System a Final Whack".

The saga of the little Pict warrior (and I mean that in a strictly complimentary sense) who brandished a knife and a hatchet to protect herself and her younger sister from the unwanted attentions of a couple of Bulgarian creeps ends, miraculously, with the arrest of the latter.

The initial conduct of the police and the media was, of course, disgraceful.

60 Minutes has always been the left's unofficial propaganda ministry

How do I hate this leftist megaphone? Let me count the ways: "The Worst of CBS’s 60 Minutes".
