ELSEWHERE: Soar with New ‘Dragons’ Teaser

Last updated on: July 15, 2013 at 10:34 pm By E. Stephen Burnett

With its first promo for How to Train Your Dragon’s forthcoming 2014 sequel, Dreamworks Animation seems to have finally learned a few lessons on what makes a better story. It’s not just celebrity voice actors, overdone self-awareness of irony and archetypes, emphasis on angst, trendy pop-culture humor attempts that may expire in months, or millions spent on toy tie-ins and advertising. Instead, Dragon succeeded in 2010 because its story joyously explored family, fantasy, and the wonders of a broken world... Read more

The Kiddy Pool: Lowe’s versus George Herbert

Last updated on: July 15, 2013 at 9:40 pm By Erin Wyble Newcomb

My husband and I are working on some small home maintenance projects right now, little things that slid through the cracks during our younger child’s first year of life and our perpetual sleep deprivation. It’s good and generally satisfying work, but my husband gets peeved every time a Lowe’s commercial pops up with the tagline “Never stop improving.” There’s an assumption in the slogan: spend more, do more, be more — as if our house exists only for its resale...

ELSEWHERE: Progress and Materialism–The Hopeless Adventure

Last updated on: July 15, 2013 at 6:49 am By S. L. Whitesell

A curious thing happens when two atheists realize that man worships himself and that knowledge without God tends to lead us into Cartesian absurdity. One writes a book explaining how materialism is little more than self-assured preening by scientists who can’t grasp their own ideas, and gets praised, in a lefty rag, by perhaps the foremost Christian philosopher of our day. The other decides “progress” is a delusion caused by our evolution into narcissistic animals, and the first guy tears... Read more

Going Beyond ‘Yay! It’s a Christ-Figure’

Last updated on: July 12, 2013 at 8:42 am By E. Stephen Burnett

Recently I’ve adopted a new parody catchphrase that goes something like this: “Yay! It’s a Christian story.” This phrase seems useful for affectionately sarcastic observations such as: (Quote from a review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey) “Soon after Gandalf comes to Bilbo, 13 dwarves show up, a biblical number.” Yay! It’s a Christian story. An episode of the sadly short-lived Green Lantern: The Animated Series quoted from 1 Cor. 13 and showed “greater love.” My own reaction: Yay! It’s... Read more
