Remember a couple of weeks ago I wrote that I'd lived in a the desert where several sci-fi movies had been shot? I saw "Iron Man" and there is was: the opening scenes set in Afganistan were immediately recognizable as my previous home. (The mountains had been altered.) The only bad thing about this is that recognizing the location & the accompanying emotional connotations rather works against suspension of disbelief.
The Catholic Church in Bishop, CA is gorgeous: instead of a stained-glass window behind the altar, there's an enormous clear window showing the mountains but no building or powerlines, with the crucifix resting in the wild mountains but reaching into the sky. Terrific!

That's horror, not sci-fi!

Lucky you. I live 20 minutes from where they filmed Deliverance.
I'd be lucky if I still lived there. As it is, I'm still aghast at the idea there could be yet worse liturgical music yet to come....
thanks for the blog!!
