Why it's revenge seeking killer whale predates Jaws The Revenge by years. I just stuck to sharks to keep it simple, but you could easily add the Piranha movies, Barracuda, Tentacles, you name it. <br /><br />I toyed with the idea of matching up movies with denominations. Great White is basically Jaws-lite, so that might be the Episcopalians. Shark Hunter is only tangentially about sharks, with gangsters and car chases thrown in, so it would definitely be a megachurch. I thought it might get too insulting though.EegahInchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055947542189758831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34344059.post-76201663804658574762011-01-10T11:58:02.476-05:002011-01-10T11:58:02.476-05:00Where does Orca fit in the sharksploitation spectr...Where does <i>Orca</i> fit in the sharksploitation spectrum?<br /><br />Anyway, as some have noted, when Protestents pull the Sacraments the leave a gaping void that must be filled. So on one extreme we see empty razzle-dazzle. On the other, we see <i>pedagogy</i> which manifests itself as 40+ minute sermons parsing over every article in a passage of Scripture. Well, if I want pedegogy, I'll go to frickin' school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34344059.post-35667894059074059372011-01-09T23:33:11.622-05:002011-01-09T23:33:11.622-05:00"Now I've added them to my watch list.&qu..."Now I've added them to my watch list."<br /><br />As always, I remind everyone there is a reason I have the word "bad" in my blog description.

Now I've added them to my watch list. <br /><br />I loved your comparison of the Jaws-imitations to the mega-churches. They are, after all, emulating the One True Church (the Protestant denominations, not the shark movies). I once read in a book on teaching yourself Greek that the early Protestant missionaries to China from Scotland ran into an unexpected problem with their mission and had to go home to Scotland for a while and work on their presentation. It happened because the Chinese have a great respect for origins and tradition, and were very puzzled as to why anyone would be a Protestant which stemmed from the Catholic Church. Why not become Catholics instead, since we had the tradition?(former) Rocket Scientistnoreply@blogger.com
