Supah Smack 

So I was watching Superman, the original 1978 movie with Christopher Reeve yesterday. I'd forgotten how totally awesome it was. Love it! Christopher Reeve was a killer superman and you can't beat Marlon Brandon in a glowing white tinfoil outfit with a white hairpiece. Anyways there's this bit in the movie where Superman is flying across Metropolis stopping crime and he sees this little girl trying to get her cat out of the tree. So he swoops down and picks the cat out of the tree and hands it to the little girl, then flys off. The little girl runs inside and says, "Mommy mommy this man flew out of the sky and got my cat out of the tree" (or something like that)... and the girl's mother says, "Didn't I tell you not to tell lies!" Then you hear this loud SMACK!

Damn! That's what you got when you talked back in 1978!

I remember that scene. I think what I liked about the Reeve's S'man was the whole "what if Superman really existed today" sense that the film gave me. Cheesy scenes like the cat in the tree and double-take that S'man does when he finds a public phone that's covered by a hood instead of a full booth where he could descretly change.

You know Richard Donner directed both Superman and the Omen. Now if it weren't for movies like the Goonies and the Lethal Weapon series, I would consider him an auteur.

BTW: you have a lot of freaks leaving comment on your blog don’t ya?!

Yes! That's exactly what you got when you lied to your mom in 1978! I don't think it is a bad thing to give a kid a smack once in a while. Honestly, I wanted to smack my friend's 4 year old on the bottom and give her a time out when she would not listen to me and kept trying to maul her 10 month old sister. She would NOT leave the child alone, and insisted "This is MY baby!" and to her credit, the baby did not cry or fuss when her sister grabbed her roughly and pulled her around all afternoon. It's amazing.
Hey! SCHMACK.

Marian. I stumbled on your site because I Googled "what happens when you die...." 2 people (older folks) who i knew, died this weekend. So it got me to thinking about the subject.

I made this comment on one of your older threads. Just thought i'd share. Good luck to you out there in California.

By the way, I saw the omen when i was younger and it scared the hell out of me... and Strictly ballroom was one of my favorites, too!

cheers. -jimk (jkings1@optonline.net)


sorry for any typos since i am nearly blind.

What happens when you die? you die. I died on the operating table last year at 41 almost leaving my 3 wonderful kids behind, but was brought back and didn't wake up for quite some time. but here i am. i came out of it with a profound sense of peace and understanding - a realization that one ceases to exist... everyone does when they die.

but there wouldn't be hope in that at all. ashes to ashes, dust to dust - not much hope at all.

i came out of my death experience now understanding the bible's references to death as sleep.

i have finally gotten past the whole issue of where you go right after death.

you go no where... you lie in the grave as if to sleep.

i finally have overcome the very difficult questions about life after death and heaven and hell as well.

it's really simple... we die - we sleep.. but as the old and new testaments of the bible describe, we will face a resurrection with Christ's return. since your dead, the time in the grave will seem like an instant until we're resurrected for judgment day... an instant - just like my days in a coma seemed like an instant.

days had passed, and when i woke up i was completely disoriented and no sense of time. time goes by in a flash when your dead. 8 hrs sleep goes by in a flash even when you're just sleeping.

http://www.aloha.net/~mikesch/death.htm provides insight, better than i can as i quickly type out this message.

Marian - you are mostly right, when you die nothing happens - at least in our present sense of space and time. we're dead. but i think God has plans beyond what we can comprehend, and that there will be an after life - just not that cliched - "we loved uncle Joe, and he's looking down from heaven and smiling...." garbage that you hear at eulogies.

Uncle Joe is dead.. and so will we all be until we are resurrected... either to go on to life eternal, or eternal death.

2 year ago my father died a horrible death from prostate cancer. he was writhing in such pain and agony the day before he died. he looked so peaceful at the wake - all the pain was gone. i have hope that one day, as the believer in Christ he was, that he will be resurrected to go onto eternal life.

that link that i provided also provides some great perspective on hell as well.

Marian - you say you were brought up in an church family setting. don't throw all of that out. I think Christians have a wrong headed view about many things, including what happens the moment we die... but the view of Christ and salavation is not something to take lightly.

We may, from our earthy persepctive spend a lot of time in the grave, but eventually we will be raised for judgment day. don't be on the losing end.
