Topic: WHAT IF CHRIST CAME BACK AS AN 'AGENT'

Author: STEVEN CALDERWOOD Posted: 07/02/02 09:36 PM

If he slammed the door in your face and you got your foot caught in the door and it hurt like a son of a bitch, is it still appropriate to scream out "Jesus Christ that hurt"

Discuss this one amongst all you "Geography-ologists" Now you "Science-ologists" just shut up for now and let the other heathens speak.

Steve,

I shall constantly pray for you. You need a lot of help.

Steve

Dear, dearer, dearest, Steven the K!!!

If you need some help, let me know!

It's gotta be tough to constantly pray, not to mention what it does to our knees!!

Take a break and I'll see your tomorrow at the old "office"!!!

Earth is my shepherd, let me go forth into green pastures and fill my cup with the pleasures life has to offer and help those who aren't helping themselves.

GOT NO WANTS TO HOLD ME UP!!!D.G.

HEY SCALDING WOULDA/COULDA/SHOULDA!!!

Yes. It's acceptable. As long as you don't actually say it to his face, like if he's STILL behind the door pushing!

GOT OWIE ON TOEY!!!D.G.

Some are even beyond the healing power of prayer. Good Luck.

Are we to suppose that Jesus would stoop so low as to become an agent? Would that be sufficient to preclude him being the christ? And if he were to become an agent, would that alter the posture of agency, or would agency just consume him and his previous 'good' works? Just the possibilities of that scenario would scare the shit out of hollywood in general and agencies in particular.

Author: Bryan Walsh Posted: 07/03/02 08:10 AM

My thoughts it exactly. A king can give up a throne, but can Christ give up his "crown'? I think that would be his only shot of becoming an agent.

Author: Ashley Moyé Posted: 07/03/02 10:33 AM

Steve C.,

What's your point in this topic? Are you really asking for people's thoughts on the subject matter?

Should I lend credence and dignify your curiosity with my response? Hmmm.

Well, what would you do if this aforementioned agent responded to your outcry with a solemn, "Yes, my child?"

Author: D.G. Balazs Posted: 07/03/02 10:40 AM

HEY YOU ... SHEESH!!!

What's that saying about not being able to see the forest through the trees?

Jesus IS an agent!!!

God's the Procuer!!!

GET ready for YOUR CLOSE-UP!!!

D.G.

Though I shudder at the analogy, Jesus is more of a manager than an agent. An agent seeks work for his/her client and collects 10% only if it sells. A manager seeks to develop the career of the one he/she is responsible for. Yes, Jesus is my heavenly manager and I only pay 10% (a tithe) rather than the normal 15%. And He is managing my career and my life. Do you want a good manager, D.G.? I can certainly recommend one to you.

And on top of that, he's a Jew! (Everybody knows that Jews run Hollywood)

Author: Craig Schwartz Posted: 07/03/02 04:15 PM

The problem I have, is that this "manager" takes on far too many clients at once; He's never around when you want to get him on the phone; and all the pay is "back-ended," which doesn't do much for me right now. A lot of points are promised, but I have yet to hear *proof* of those clients actually seeing anything. And a lot of his clients -- not all, but a lot -- run around trying to blacken the name of other managers, or acting out-of-control, which doesn't say much for the company in general.

Somebody once said, "You don't need no steenken' agents," or managers. Being good at what you do is all that counts, and not hurting anyone else's career (helping others when you can is even better); and eventually you'll find success -- one way or another.

Mitchell picked up on the Agent/Jewish and Christ angle. Bonus points for that.

DG-- you never cease to amaze me. Why are you not one of our prolific scribes on the Hollywood screen.

Miss Ashley

I wear a size 13 shoe and was sick of the "Bigfoot" so I changed it to agent. It was a simple as that. I like to start debate and then blend in when the line is drawn.

I am inspired to go back to writing, Adam Sandler has another hit, Oh I found Hollywood and the publics head...It's up their ass!

Holyer than my socks

Steve

Author: Mitchell Bailey Posted: 07/03/02 08:10 PM

If Jesus Christ Management has any 'juice' at all in Hollywood, surely Adam Sandler will NEVER work again. Adam is about as funny as a rubber crutch...

Author: Marcel Fayant Posted: 07/04/02 12:39 AM

if Jesus came back as an agent I would tell him to become an CIA agent and do some investigation into some of those screenwriting competitions.

Author: Steven Karels Posted: 07/04/02 06:29 AM

It is Jesus Christ's nature to transform. Given the scenario that He comes back as a Hollywood agent, I am confident He would Transform Hollywood. But most of you, I suspect, might not like the transformation. Drama would not be characterized by how loud on character yells at the other. Sex would be within marriage between the married partners and to celebrate the glory of their union. Yes, I am sure that if He came back as an agent, the World would shake with HIs transformation of Hollywood.

I believe that He will come back "like a thief in the night", when no one expects it and in a twinkling of an eye the Christians will be gone, Left Behind. Then all that remain, the naysayers, can laugh and scoff His name to their hearts content for the seven years of Tribulation, enjoying their short, unfullfilled lives until the AntiChrist and his followers are destroyed in a huge battle. Sounds like the story for a screenplay but its already been done. No, D.G., you are not the AntiChrist.

Author: Mitchell Bailey Posted: 07/04/02 08:04 AM

Are you referring to the 'rapture' and the so-called 'armageddon'? Do you know what 'armageddon means? (Hint: it's Greek) It was coined in the 'biblical' days and refers to only ONE place (not world-wide, as some people would have you and I believe) ...that one place is/was Megido, a small city near the Dead Sea, (I think) That is where a handful of JEWISH zealots held sway. The armageddon has already happened, at that place, and by the Roman army. As far as the 'rapture' goes, that is a personal enlightenment.

Author: Steven Karels Posted: 07/04/02 09:13 AM

Mitchell,

You of all should know that the word "rapture" never appears in Scripture.

There has been historical occurances where different battles were fought in the same place at different times. The previous conflict at a specific site does not preclude the possibility of a future battle at the same location.

Author: D.G. Balazs Posted: 07/04/02 11:00 AM

HEY B-DAY BOYZ IN B-DAY ZOOTS!!!

As Writers, it is often necessary to imagine ...

... Adam Sandler may be the one they've been waiting for - his sense of humor has stolen through the night and made millions and millions of saddie, HAPPY's!!!!

Happy Birthday America!!!

He HAS a rose!!!

P.S. God blesses us all with heartbeats. The choice is ours, as to what we do with each one. Your God is not about reciprocation, it loves you more than you can ever "re-pay". God may not be bought - but is often "sold" by those attempting to bribe the creator for a slot in heaven - when it's right under your feetsies!!!

GOTTA ANT I KANT SCRATCH!!!D.G.
