Do Not Disavow

Do Not Disavow By: Rick Davis   When Charlemagne established law Salic in barb’rous land, The gospel flourished, and he saw Christ’s praise on every hand.   (“Do you approve his methods now?”) I do not disavow.   King Godfrey took Jerusalem From bloody paynim hands And brought a halt to Musselmen Invading Christian lands.   (“He did some mean things anyhow!”) I do not disavow.   King Richard with his scarlet shield And passant lions ‘bossed Rode forth again unto the field To regain what was lost.   (“His deeds at Acre you allow?”) I do not disavow.   Unto the Germans Luther brought The gospel full restored, And Calvin at Geneva taught The glory of the Lord.   (“The Jews?

Best Visual Effects

Posted By
Okay. So I'm watching the Academy Awards last night. The category is Best Visual Effects. A city was created and virtuallly destroyed for the Dark Knight, as Batman leaps and glides his way above the rooftops, and the Joker wreaks havoc. A man was encased in metal and sent flying after jets, shooting missiles in Iron Man.

And the Oscar for Best Visual Effects goes to...The Curious Case of Benjamin Button!

What?! Wait a minute! The best visual effect of the entire year was to make Brad Pitt look old!? Seriously?! Hasn't Hollywood been making people look old as long as movies have been made? I remember an episode of Star Trek where they made William Shatner look old. Star Trek didn't get an Oscar. Twin Peaks didn't get an award for making Kyle McLachlan look old. Eddie Murphy is either old, fat, or female in all of his movies and they never get a Visual Effects nod.

*Sigh* I'll never understand the Academy Awards.
