I tried watching the movie once but was bored and stopped.

I recommend the book.  The movie fails to tell the full story and give Farrah a proper showing.

It also makes Jenny Agutter hard to watch as a nun.

That movie scared the crap out of me as a kid. But the fact that Farrah was in it was a plus because I was a huge Charlie's Angel's fan too. I loved that movie. But looking back at it now, it reminds me of how special effects look corny over time. I also love Jaws 1 and 2 to this day, but watching them now, the mechanical shark is so obvious.

Physicist Steven Weinberg has died. He famously said: "With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil — that takes religion.”
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

He lived into his late 80's. All this time, I thought he was in his early 60's.

Why Are we wishing well a convicted pedo on death row? Did I miss something brewer, are we thankful it saved the state money, that he’s out of his misery, is this just a PSA … I’m truly lost.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

This thread is for the announcement of deaths, nothing more. I don’t see brewer wishing well.
