Is this a suggestion or a musing...

Mostly a recommendation for a film ... or perhaps an idea for a mockumentary / (sur)reality show starting Ferrari and his family ... maybe a reprise to the Jersey Shore show ... Okay, it's really just a late night a/musing

Don't have to be sharp, although I am, to know if you beat a guy twice you'll probably beat him the next time you wrestle

For some reason, I was reminded of Fannery O'Connor's novel, Wise Blood, which has been made into an interesting film.

Here's a scene ... or, if you prefer, obscene (your choice):

 

I tried to watch that movie, couldn't make it more than 20 minutes or so. Does it get better further into the movie?

Really? My experience is that almost all people bragging about how much they love Baby Jesus and how filled they are with the "holy spirit" are complete charlatans. The really devout don't have to go around proclaiming such empty platitudes, and empty they truly are. 

I can't even begin to tell you how right on this is. Many years ago I knew a guy who had gone to prison for some less than wholesome activities. When he got out he was still involved in that, but now he just quoted the bible frequently and said that everything he had was because of Jesus.

Hey stop! This post was inspired by the inspiration of the holy spirit. You are changing quicker than AJ on a topic about his competitors and that's not right

I appreciated the film.  Here's an old review of it when it first appeared ... circa 1979:

 

"Wise Blood," based on Flannery O'Connor's 1952 novel about an inside-out religious fanatic of the rural South, is one of John Huston's most original, most stunning movies. It is so eccentric, so funny, so surprising and so haunting that it is difficult to believe it is not the first film of some enfant terrible instead of the 33d feature by a man who is now in his 70's and whose career has had more highs and lows than a decade of weather maps.Mr. Huston's affection for misfits has never been more profoundly expressed than in this uproarious tale about Hazel Motes, a young Army veteran who returns home from the wars — one assumes Vietnam — obsessed with the idea of founding a Church of Christ without Christ. Hazel Motes is no Elmer Gantry and "Wise Blood" is no exposé of well-paying religious fakery, although it is about salvation.Hazel's success as a preacher is minimal, even in a region where the crazier the homemade religion, the more likely it is to be popular. Small crowds do listen to Hazel as he stands on the hood of his battered car, and some people are taken by his creed: "I'm a member and preacher to that church where the blind don't see and the lame don't walk and what's dead stays that way." But Hazel is too preoccupied with his own visions to organize his church and reap the financial rewards. He is ruled by fears and furies of the unloving Jesus of his childhood, when his grandfather was a hellfire-and-brimstone preacher."Wise Blood" will be shown at the New York Film Festival at 9 P.M. today and at 7 P.M. tomorrow. Its commercial opening has not been set.Mr. Huston's best films have always been about misfits of one sort or another, from the early ones, "The Maltese Falcon" and "The Treasure of Sierra Madre," through "The Asphalt Jungle" and "The African Queen" to his most recent production, "The Man Who Would Be King," in 1975.The New York Festival's program makes a mistake, I think, in saying that "Wise Blood" marks a return by the director to the "hardheaded" style of his "Fat City." As much as I admired "Fat City," it seems to me that "Wise Blood" is more evocative of "Beat the Devil," the slapdash comedy classic written by Truman Capote. The seriously lunatic characters in "Wise Blood" are much closer kin to the would-be thieves in "Beat the Devil" than they are to the losers in the gritty, realistic "Fat City."Like all fine fiction writers, Miss O'Connor created a self-contained world that was immediately recognizable although very bizarre. No matter how odd the characters and how grotesque the events, one believes in her world because, among other things, it is consistent within itself.This is one of the achievements of "Wise Blood," which is lyrically mad and absolutely compelling even when we don't fully comprehend it. Shot in the South, the film presents us with familiar landscapes in which, however, all the people appear to be just slightly removed from the reality we know. This applies equally to casual passersby and to someone like the county sheriff, who appears in one brief, hilarious scene, and to the principal characters.In addition to Hazel Motes, beautifully played by Brad Dourif (the stuttering kid in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"), these include Sabbath Lilly Hawks (Amy Wright), a libidinous teen-ager who looks as if she had grown up drinking Cokes and eating French fries and never coming near a green vegetable; Asa Hawks (Harry Dean Stanton), her evil-tempered father, a conventionally fraudulent side-walk preacher; Enoch Emery (Daniel Shor), a crazy country boy who finds a "new" Jesus at the local museum in the form of the tiny corpse of a shrunken South American Indian; Hoover Shoates (Ned Beatty), a fast-talking promoter who wants to manage Hazel's career as a prophet, and Hazel's landlady (Mary Nell Santacroce), the lonely, middle-age woman who falls in love with Hazel. They're all splendid. Mr. Huston himself appears in several lividly pink fantasy sequences as Hazel's grandfather.The screenplay by Benedict Fitzgerald is not neat by usual movie standards. Characters wander off never to be heard of again. The movie delights in the odd moment that doesn't obviously carry the story forward. Yet it's always alive. Mr. Fitzgerald also seems to have preserved a lot of Miss O'Connor's dialogue. Nowhere else might you hear someone say, "Her hair was so thin it looked like ham gravy trickling down her skull," or another character, Hazel, defend himself and his second-hand wreck of an automobile with the statement, "Nobody with a good car needs to be justified."Hazel's journey toward salvation is terrifying, tortured and bloody; yet the end effect of the film is exhilarating, as it always is when you see something so well and seemingly so effortlessly realized. Mr. Huston is in top form.

He has grown so much in his spirituality, he could go downstairs in his basement (Snyder lived in Carl's basement), this is the real deal folks. Ferrari is Focused

 

I’ll tell you what, a break up can either ruin you or build you. Looks like the latter happened here. Being abandoned by friends and family deepened the wound. He had no choice but to look up. If he means it and his actions prove it I’ll look past the prior antics and look forward to what happens next. We’ll see.

You nailed it! He couldn't change after a near-death experience of himself and a passenger, and he wasn't ready when he sexually assaulted someone. But when he ran out of options and needed to pivot to remain relevant, he was able to find jesus. Thankfully his content reflects his new direction!

Cael doesn't want a focus but AJ is considering transitioning and performing for the PSULionette dance team and women's gymnastics.  The splits need some work but they can work with with it / that.
