That's right ladies and gentlemen, I am posting this entry on the sixth minute of the sixth hour (...PM but anyways) of the sixth day of the sixth month of '06! Oh my gosh! that's like ... 66666! That's even more evil than 666!
Evil movie!
Well, what would a day like today be without summer blockbuster The Omen to commemorate it? And what kind of commemoration would a summer blockbuster be if said summer blockbuster was not a remake of an original from 30 years ago? (And thirty is a multiple of six! What're the odds??)
I have not seen it (and will not tonight because I have better things to do that don't involve the occult in any way shape or form), but hope to at some point. Roger Ebert gave it a positive review. He said something in the review that got me thinking:
I've observed before that when it comes to dealing with demons and suchlike, Roman Catholics have the market cornered. Preachers of other faiths can foam and foment all they want about satanic cults, but when it comes to knowing the ground rules and reading ominous signs, what you want at the bedside is a priest who knows his way around an exorcism.
Amen to that, Roger.
