DAILY CALL SHEET: SEPTEMBER 19, 204


Super Fuzz (1980) A big-hearted patrolman gains unreliable super powers after being exposed to atomic radiation. Ernest Borgnine tags along as his sidekick. For some inexplicable reason the director of Django decided to try his hand at something akin to those live action movies Disney used to crank out on a regular basis, things like Unidentified Flying Oddball or Condorman. The result is... well, just like one of those live action movies Disney used to crank out on a regular basis. It's lightweight, pleasant, and easily forgettable 15 minutes after it's over. Except for that cheesy "Super, Superrrr!" theme song, that's gonna stick with you for awhile.

TIL: When it comes to the necessity of having a police force, the Church teaches that protecting society from crime is an essential moral value, as crime endangers individuals and robs communities of a sense of well-being and security. In their efforts, the police must remain moral, however. Speaking to the the Gendarmerie Corps (the Vatican police), Pope Francis suggested, "Pray often so that, with the intercession of St Michael the Archangel, the Lord may safeguard you from giving in to every temptation, from every temptation to corruption for money, for riches, from vanity and arrogance. And, like Jesus, the more humble your service is, the more fruitful and the more useful it will be for us all."

I HAVE SOME NOTES: More scrawls and scribbles on my daily Scripture readings.
