Just when we thought we were free...

Nope...some smart aleck Mormon artist decides to put another stain on the gospel arts by creating a sequel to Saturday's Warrior. That's right, Doug Stewart, the self-annointed founding father of pop Mormon cinema, has deemed that it is not enough for our parents to watch Jimmy Flanders anguish over whether the world should shed itself of its population ("zero population is the answer my friends"--what a lovely way of caricaturizing "the world"). As it's been said, "An author is a fool who, not content with boring those he lives with, insists on boring future generations." Saturday's Warrior had begun its descent into history...as it should. It had its time and its audience...can we please keep the "Land Before Time" syndrome away from our backyard?

Friends...why must we insist on schlock and schmaltz in our artistic productions? And if we must endure it (schlock and schmaltz often serve other key services for a community), can't we at least have it be true to mainstream doctrine? (though, even I must admit that Saturday's Warrior has more founding in certain, isolated teachings than we give it credit for).
