Priests calling from their pulpits for book-and-film-banning in churches around the globe, and for a New World Government that prohibits the public from reading and seeing what they wish, all in the name of God. The devout, standing on the hilltops in white robes, proclaiming violent opposition to the lies propogated by The Wicked and demanding the repentance of all sinners. Vagrants in the street waving......

Hallelujah! The day the Catholic Church and all of its minions have dreaded for the past few months (or maybe years, who knows what kind of secret prophecies they’ve got locked up in the Vatican – riiiiight??) has finally arrived. No, silly, there hasn’t been a discovery of ancient scrolls written by Jesus himself proclaiming the benefits of condom usage.

The lineup for the 2006 Cannes Film Festival has been announced, and Austinite Richard Linklater will have the distinction of being the first director to ever show films in the main competition and Un Certain Regard (the competition which grants money to the winner to enable French distribution). Linklater’s Fast Food Nation, based on the book by Eric Schlosser and starring Ethan Hawke, Patricia Arquette and Kris Kristofferson, will appear in the main competition.......
