This is for those of you in youth ministry who like to be in the know. Or for those of you who simply like cheese or even musicals or musical cheese with Doogie Howser…
In youth ministry, it’s always good to experience or just know about anything viral and this is it…
From Joss Wheaton, the creator of Buffy and Firefly, Dr. Horrible is the story of a evil scientist trying to make a name for himself and get the girl of his dreams. I hate musicals and I enjoyed this one. So take a lunch break and watch this 45 min video that’s blowing up around the net (or blew up around the net about two weeks ago). It’s your’s to watch for free. Enjoy it. Then thank me when you hear your kids singing it and don’t you feel left out…
Well, I figured it was about time to introduce my kids to The Goonies. It was a staple movie of mine growing up and James, Aida, and Samuel needed to partake on this 80’s delectable goodness. It’s a classic 80’s kid adventure flick.
My favorite moment was watching it at a midnight showing in a theater on my college (University of Georgia) campus. It was amazing. Crowd packed beyond capacity, quoting nearly every line. It was the first time Miriam saw it and it was a frenzy. It was memorable.
Our family movie night experience was great. The kid’s verdict… James and Samuel gave it two thumbs up. James wants to go treasure hunting and Samuel wants his own lovable, monster, man creature Sloth (”That man is funnnneeeee”). Aida didn’t like it because the girls in the movie were dumb.
Ah, you win some, you lose some.
Any childhood favorites you’ve subjected your kids [or youth group] to?
Not sure how I feel about this upcoming documentary, but it seems interesting to say the least. Keep your eyes opened, it should be making the rounds. They’re trying to promote this in churches, but I’m not sure many will bite. Though, it should spur some interesting conversation.
