I watched "Over Her Dead Body," which involves a psychic (Lake Bell) trying to contact a dead woman (Eva Longoria). Lake goes to her priest to ask him to do an exorcism. He is presented as nice and intelligent. He tells her to quit dabbling in the occult and come back to church and she does. The wedding in at the end takes place in that church. It was nice to see church presented as a normal part of life, even though I don't think all priests do exorcisms. <br /><br />I wasn't thrilled about the usual jab against Republicans, but I have come to expect it.<br /><br />The show "Friday Night Lights" also shows church as an ordinary part of life and it does it without sneering at the churchgoers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881054.post-1506642367852539062011-01-28T09:12:49.209-06:002011-01-28T09:12:49.209-06:00Thank you for that reminder ... which I meant to c...Thank you for that reminder ... which I meant to comment upon (so funny really) but never got back to ...
