Saint Christopher Walken

I've been attempting to discover the title of a movie of which I have very little information about:

1 - It is a fantasy movie, most likely marketed for kids/young adults.

2 - It MIGHT have had the words 'Black' and/or 'Knight' in its title.

3 - It had a character, a little boy, by the name of Crispin (or Krispin, or perhaps even Christian)

I realize that info is quite vague but, at present, it's all I've got.

Thanks, in advance, to all those who choose to assist me with this query.

"... but the book is better than the movie."

It seems to me that most people have a tendency to judge the quality of a movie they have seen against the quality of its literary counterpart (most often, a book), - and the conclusion of the judgment is almost always the same: "... but the book is better than the movie."

My questions:

Do you find this comparison of two, markedly different story-telling mediums in any way constructive as a method of critique?

If you do not find it constructive, would you be in favor of bashing someone over the head with a hard-cover copy of their 'better' book for continuing to perpetuate such bromide?

Your thoughts?

Your thoughts?...

... thought some of you who hadn't seen it yet might find interesting.

[For the record, I'm agnostic with strong atheistic inclinations]

If so, was it because Heaven showed you too little,... or showed you too much?

-

Is it, or is it not, - a difficult question?

Most of the time I see angels portrayed as these ever-watchful and benevolent beings but...

... did you ever notice how in the Bible, whenever God needed to punish someone, or make an example, or whenever God needed a killing, he sent an angel?

Did you ever wonder what a creature like that must be like;

a whole existence spent praising your God, - but always with one wing dipped in blood?

So I ask you again:

Would you ever really want to see an angel?

If so, was it because Heaven showed you too little,... or showed you too much?

Is that a difficult question?

Notwithstanding the tragic nature of its content,...

... do you think this article lends any weight against the argument that 'natural selection' is no longer a significant factor in the survival of the human species?

If not, - then how you see this act of self-sacrifice as contributing, in any way, to the overall survivability of the human species?

...by Israeli terrorists and, as a result of this, the duties of teaching the glories of Islamic martyrdom which once belonged to Farfour (Mickey) will now be taken up by his "Killer Bee" cousin, Nahoul:

Does this mean that there is a MujahideenWorld Theme Park, with Nahoul as its mascot-for-martyrdom, just around the corner?

Your thoughts, please...

The final episode of The Sopranos:

I rest my case...

[---excerpt from USA Today]

A full 66 percent said they believed in creationism, with 39 percent of those polled saying it was definitely true and 27 percent believing it was probably true.

But 53 percent said they believed in evolution, the scientific theory that humans developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life. Eighteen percent said evolution was definitely true, while 35 percent said it was probably true.

The results were released in a USA Today/Gallup poll of 1,007 adults, taken between June 1-3. The margin of error was three percent.

Just a curious Agnostic here...

...just curious...

If there was a site much like Yahoo!Answers, but without censorship or the "report abuse" function, would you give up Y!A and switch to it?

The "Celebrity Y!A Question" posted by Bono has been resloved, and the "Best Answer" was chosen by the "ONE: The campaign to make poverty history".

Out of nearly 30,000 answers, the individual who received "Best Answer" is someone who has, to date, only answered one question on Y!A. I think the "Best Answer" was a plant by Bono and/or the One campaign.

Should we "report" Bono under the suspicion that his post was answered by a "ringer"?...

I've never reported anyone, as it goes against my philosophical grain. But you've got to admit that flooding the Y!A team with reports against Bono would be, at the very LEAST, a brief but somewhat entertaining diversion...

Here's a link to the question:

So, are you up for it... I'll get it started right now...

..."...keep up with the Joneses."...

Do you, or does anyone you know, try to do do this?

If not, is it because your are a member of the "Jones" family?

And if you ARE a "Jones", do you think other "non-Joneses" are trying to keep up with you?...

..and...

Is the phrase a statement of passive envy, or is it just another head-rattling cliche?...

Your thoughts?...
