…maybe Willard should hire the folks who dreamed this one up. It’s pretty damn funny I gotta say.
quotes of note
"“Yes, reason has been a part of organized religion, ever since two nudists took dietary advice from a talking snake.”
— Jon Stewart..
"God is playing a comic to an audience that's afraid to laugh."
“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”
— Voltaire..
"What happens when we're dead? The irony is that all our questions will be answered after we die. We spend our whole life trying to figure out the truth and the only way we'll find out what it is, is to get hit by a bus. And the only comfort that religion offers is that God is driving that bus."
— John Ryman, "When Galaxies Collide"..
“Knock, And He'll open the door
Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun
Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens
Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything.”

That was better than most of what you actually see on TNT in Belgium. . .

Who ever came up with that idea is one talented rascal. I loved the reaction on the peoples faces. That was funny.
Cochise,
Indeed. It’s comedy (physical, slapstick and surreal), action, incident- and all gloriously done. But not drama, which requires developed characters in situations of conflict. Some murder trials are indeed dramatic. But murder trial is not by definition a drama.
Pull that stunt in any US city and you’d get all the drama you can stand.
Interesting that none of the Belgians ducked when the shooting started. I think most Americans would hit the deck.
Wonder what tipped them off that the guns were firing blanks? Me I’m going for the woman on the motorcycle in her underwear. Except, you know, it’s being filmed in evil old Europe FFS, on the continent- Naked women all over the damn shop.
