...or put your fat fingers to the keyboard in my case. Who knew that
I'd ever get an email from someone who writes for the Weekly Standard?
Yesterday, I kinda blasted Jonathan Last about his Opinion Journal piece about Saved!
Much to my surprise, I received this email from him in response:
Dear Kathleen,Go see Saved! and I think you will indeed want to do a take back. I'm a
Catholic (and not an evangelical one, either), so I have no dog
in this fight. And I love good dark satires, like Election. But what
Saved! does is only use dark satire against one particular set of
characters (the fundamentalists) while being quite sentimental about
another group (those who don't believe in God). Which, in my book,
turns it from a dark satire to a pretty mean-spirited tract.Have good weekend; love the blog.
Best,
JVL
Here I thought I was spouting off to only a select few. Hmmph. Behold the Power of Search Engines! Ok, I am going to go and see it sometime soon and if necessary, I will indeed post a big takeback.
Just for the record, I did resist the urge to ask him if Bill Kristol is really as uptight as he seems on TV.
