Big Kahuna

Kevin Cawley was the first and last person to recommend that I should watch The Big Kahuna.  I finally gave in, and I'm glad I did.  Kevin Spacey is brilliant as usual and Danny Devito has never been so good.  It's a movie about God, honesty, character, business, life, reality, crisis, and understanding (among other things).  I recommend picking it up to rent soon.  I think it's a movie worth watching more than once.

Check out Kevin's "Finding God in a Hospitality Suite," a paper for his Ecclesiastes and Film class.  But do yourself a favor and watch the movie first.

Brian McLaren has a really great sermon based on this movie (preached on 10/7/01), but I don't think it's online anymore and can only be ordered by tape. It's well worth tracking down, though.

Dude, I don't know how Keith Cawley is, but I'm glad you listened to him. I've suggested that movie a couple times over at Emergingsbc/missonal/leaders/baptist/blog, as well at the Young Leaders mess over at Lifeway, and it has pretty much been ignored.

We watched that movie with a group of our college students a couple of years ago, and the responses were mixed. I would really like to see some discussion here about it.

Has anyone else watched it? What did you think of their conclusions?

I don't know how Keith Cawley is either, but I sure hope he is a better man than I am. Steve, you would do well to listen to Keith more often.

Hey Kevin, do you think you could bring Keith with you when we get together next week?

[Kevin Cawley]

well, if you want. Keith is my chain-smoking alter ego (and he is skinny!)

sorry, kevin, "tomato, tamato" let's call the whole thing off...

Finally listened to Kev a couple months ago and watched it. Good flick. Need to see it again.
