Alexander the Disappointing

Pam and I just returned from seeing Oliver Stone’s new film, Alexander the Great. What a disappointment! Overall, a pretty strange film. Stone really played up the homosexual angle with Alexander—which may be historically accurate, but not something I care to see. But beyond that, the movie was just strange. Three hours and ten minutes of strange.

It was sleeting when we left the theatre. I guess winter is here.

Yesterday I finished James Patterson's book, "The Big Bad Wolf." I'm a fan of Patterson, especially his Alex Cross crime thrillers. There was one that I didn't care for--some gratuitous sexual stuff--but generally, he does good stuff. I started another one last night, Four Blind Mice.

Heard the referendum results from four different conferences today. Hmmm.

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.
