I agree totally. I played for almost ten years as a kid (goal and sweeper). It was fun to play, but then as now watching soccer is akin to a root canal without novocaine.
"His excellency hopes that you will die honorably.But should any of you wish to beg for mercy, the great Jabba the Hutt will now listen to your pleas."
"3PO, you tell that slimy piece of worm ridden filth, he'll get no such pleasure from us!"
Even though the movie disturbs me...
The scene in Goodfellas where DeNiro is in the phonebooth and hears about Tommy getting whacked.
The look on Liotta's face while DeNiro is crying is priceless.
Is it possible that the powerful leader of the Others that Henry Gale was talking about was actually Henry Gale himself? The fear he displayed seemed a little too over the top to me (and the fact that he has been just a bit liberal with the truth).
I also wonder if the Dharma Initiative has some sort association with Hurley's mental ward (i.e. Could Hurley's doctor be employed by the DI?) Such a close association with the numbers and psychological research.
Not necessarily. Most missionaries I've known and talked to take Mark 16:15 very seriously (as Christians should) which says "...Go yet into all the world an preach the gospel." They are lead to go to these places to do just that. Many of the foreign missionaries I know most definitely don't like the idea of going so far from family and friends, but go anyway. They often risk their lives for the sake of the people they are trying to help.
EDIT
It has no bearing on their souls and getting to heaven. They do it because Christ commanded it.
Can't remember his name for the life of me. I bet I'd remember it if I heard it. I remember he was an older fellow. He had a great story about losing his temper in traffic on one of the Mongolian streets. Drivers there are pretty bad I guess.
Come to think of it, I think he was from the Rochester area.
