Last night I went to the Movies with Katherine as it will be our last time seeing each other for 6 months or so....
We saw "My Best Friends Girl" ----Not good at all! Crude and Just Wrong!
Anyway, before the Movie started there are previews right, so we are sitting there watching away and a preview starts, the song "Be thou my Vision" is starting, and al you see is black screen and far away a head of a man sleeping, and the song plays on, the square moves closer and closer, and I whisper to Katherine, "wow Hollywood is changing, a decent movie is coming out", and then Wrong I was so Wrong, a sharp sound affect and the box the man's head is in lights up his eyes open and chop goes the head, decapitated, that is when Katherine and I closed our eyes in horror, I was brave and looked up to see what the movie was and it was for SAW 4, coming out on Halloween...
I was throughly disgusted and appalled, how blasphemous! I wanted to cry so much, how dare they take a song that speaks of God and his love and turn it and twist it so!
And during the beginning of that as the song started they would put phrases up that spoke and led you to believe that they were talking about God...
I was miffed, and quite emotional about it......
Let me know how you feel?

I *HATE* movie previews! They tell nothing about the movie anymore, they only show glimpses into either scary/disturbing thoughts or are incredibly sexual. I really miss previews telling me a little about the film so i would know if i wanted to see it. But now they seem to just want to shock the viewer in one way or another.
And it is so sad that hollywood would disgrace something ... sacred... for a lack of a better word.

that's terrible...sad so that most are clueless to what that song is actually about..
