Favorite Guest?

The only thing better than a documentary is a mockumentary.
And nobody makes them better than Christopher Guest.

Thought I'd put the list of films made by Guest and crew and see what you thought.
What's your favorite Guest movie?

At my house, we watch The Polar Express.
A LOT.

That's fine, because it has become my favorite all-time Christmas movie.

But every time I watch it, I come up with the same questions and I'm sure some of you smarties have an idea...

IS THE CONDUCTOR ALL KNOWING?

In short, is anything that happens on that train ride a surprise?
Or does he know everything...even when he's away from "The Boy."
I've been asking some of my friends about this and I've already heard some interesting theories.
Here's a sampling.

1. The conductor is all-knowing and the train ride happens every year to a child who doesn't believe.
2. The train is a time-machine...in fact, this theory supposes that "the boy" is actually the conductor as a child and now the adult version of that child is coming back to save himself, to remind him to believe.
3. The conductor isn't all-knowing, but he IS actually Santa Claus, so whatever happens is all good.

You got a theory? Is the conductor wise to everything that's going on? How do you know? What does the conductor do to make us think he's completely aware of every detail of that ride?

Items Of Interest...

First things first - it's Thursday, which means there's a brand new post up at worshipnotes. This week, we're reviewing the brand new record from Tommy Walker. If you have a few minutes, sail over and check it out.

Secondly, this poll thing is turning out to be really cool. I'm really impressed at how many of you are voting on these things. (Although my friend, Julie, told me at church Sunday that she had been downloading all sorts of web browsers just so she could vote multiple times. For me. Nice try, Jules, but it didn't work. I'd link her, by the way, but her last blog post was seven years ago.) Thanks to those of you who have been sending me poll suggestions. That's very cool...and hopefully we'll get to all of them.

A few of you are sending me great ideas, but no actual choices. Once our "dream church" poll is over, I throw a link over in the sidebar where you can weigh in on what sort of choices ought to follow such strange poll questions. (Trust me...they're strange.)

Lastly, this questions been bouncing around in my head for awhile but it's not really anything I can throw on a poll. So, let's see what you think!

How do you waste time online?

C'mon...we've all got 'em. Be honest!
