I AM
This is going to be amazing and a screening is coming to Seattle February 25, 2011 at the Varsity Theater! AND Tom Shadyac will be there after the 7:10 screening and will introduce the 9:30 screening. Tickets are $10 and you don't want to miss this!! So my question for all you Seattle-ites: Why haven't you bought your tickets yet?!?! And if you're not from Seattle check here for where you can see it and when!
This is a few quotes from his blog, you can check out the full entry here:
The goal for me had become unity and integrity, so when anyone looked in any drawer of my life, they would hopefully see a consistency of character rooted in compassion, creativity and love.This makes me question...what would people see if they opened my "drawer of life"? What do I want them to see?
Simply put, I no longer want to stand on top of the movie-making heap and declare that I am the most valuable, and therefore worth more. I only want to take what I need and give the remainder to those in need......St. Augustine said, “Determine what God has given you, and take from it what you need, the remainder is needed by others.” That’s my philosophy in a nutshell, which is consistently reflected in nature. But our culture encourages us to take as much as we can, to amass fortunes that sit idle in bank accounts while others starve (and nature is abused in the process!)
THIS is the gospel! This is what Jesus commands us to do and I am inspired by his courage to do it. We are to take care of those in need. There are so many statistics about how there is enough in this world for everyone to have food, shelter and love. But somewhere along the line we collected mountains of wealth and things and will fight to the death before we have to share. It's mine and since I earned it I deserve it! It's time for that way of thinking to change.
