He’s currently working on his next movie, “Honey I Slept With the Kids.”

Shtick? Could be. It can be fashionable. I’m convinced that the great auteur doesn’t finally believe his own philosophy.

Rises to the level of intellectual porn, this article. Poe described it as “the Imp of the Perverse” - that tendency of overly precious humans to fall into quandaries over effete issues of arts and letters. My my my.

Woody Alien sounds like a bad sci-fi film ready to be made.
The 100 years are almost up, all of the young are hidden in safe underground bunkers and everyone else is going to soon be washed away but the job of entertainers to give those facing death a diversion never ends.
Tough job there probably

In any case, the author talks about beauty and morality. You need to piss on that?

She describes the experience of seeing something truly beautiful — an object, a work of art, a lovely person, etc. — and she remarks that this experience carries with it a kind of aura, for it lifts the observer to a consideration of the Beautiful itself, the source of all particular beauty.I feel the same way when listening to Haydn's Trumpet Concerto in E-flat Major. My spirit just soars.

Okay. Duly noted. I believe along with the writer that Nature is the hem of His Garment and that ours is but a shadow of greater glories. I guess I object to his injecting Woody Allen into the piece to make his point, not the point itself.

Was going to post a similar thought, but you sum it up perfectly.

Woody is such a creep - I expected him to take his own worthless life before Robin Williams, Allen has always seem the type for that to me.

Looks to me like Fr. Barron was wondering about what ails this man's soul. And the cure of souls is his particular vocational interest.
YOu knew that.
