"If you get to Heaven, it's by God's grace. If you go to Hell, it's your own damned fault." This is a blog by some guy trying to be a better Catholic despite his well-honed ability to get in the way of the Gospel. Thanks for reading this blog, it might be worth some time off of Purgatory.

Das Boot part I
Well, the TV's broken, so I can't finish watching the latest movie in from Netflix. I had started watching Das Boot, about a German submarine in WWII, the officers' disillusionment with the Third Reich, and the cat-and-mouse games they played with the British. Very long, but so far so good. I pick up on visual homages in movies, and I believe a scene from Pixar's Finding Nemo was an homage to Das Boot. When the whale appears behind Marlin and Dori seemingly out of nowhere, filling the screen, it's just how the sub appeared in the beginning of the movie. Nice touch. I'll give more feedback when I finish the movie
