Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys
I finished reading this book the other day. I really liked it and it went by very quick. It is in the same sort of tragi-comedy as Catcher in the Rye, or Running with Scissors, all fine reads. It really reminded me of my altar boy/catholic grade school days, both fondly and spitefully. The biggest remorse I have for those days was that I was way to reserved. Just a little bit of Tim Sullivan, or even Francis Doyle, would have done me a world of good. Their adventurous attitude is really admirable. I only gained a little bit of nonchalance, savior-faire, and other french words, at the late date of senior year of high school. I think, as a shy kid I needed good friends to push me into being much less of a wuss: friends that would get me drunk, laid, and in trouble. Friends like Marigold.
This another movie that I have to see now. The movie has gotten mixed reviews, but I have to see it as it is set and filmed in Savannah.

I saw Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, and I liked it. It has these animated sequences spliced in (representing their comic book project) that are by Todd McFarlane, of "Spawn" fame.
Of course, what do I know? I accidentally wandered into that movie while trying to view the latest in Hilary Duff princess cinema.
Don't touch me, Steve.
Yes, Justin, I did see Midnight and found it entertaining. The direction bothered me, but that is another story.
Also, Parts of Forest Gump were filmed here. I walk by Forest's bench almost everyday.
And, Hillary is related to Duff of Guns 'N Roses fame. They both got sailor tattoos in Savannah.
