The power of Christ compels me to not like remakes.. but there is so much hype and hope over the EXORCIST remake that I will hope it’s good, too.
The question for me: Will the vomit scene by CGI or will they rely on the old fashioned pea soup method..?
Nic Cage interviewed on his new horror movie PAY THE GHOST .. the star also talked about the horror genre in general.
He said, ‘I certainly would have participated more in what you call “straight-up horror” if I had been given the opportunities to participate in them earlier on in my career’..
Read more on this. I am with Cage, especially on the slasher body count idea..
Some more media interviews of Cage yielded this interesting factoid about his true thoughts of the paranormal in general: Esquire talked to him about PAY THE GHOST and also his own personal fears.. “I would say that I’m 98 percent skeptical, but the other 2 percent [is] open for the possibility of things.” ..
On the question of whether he experienced the paranormal, Cage responded, “Nothing I would be able to discuss on public record. I’m not going there” ..
Sounds like he may not be doing any Celebrity Ghost Story show, but there may be a basis for the 2%.. I think there is a basis for the 2% with everyone, including me.
When that 2% type of event occurs to you, you’re immediately placed into a mental location you’ve never expected to be. Sometimes you get the same feeling during a NIC CAGE movie (I kid Nic, I kid him) .. but his track record on films is often hit or miss.
Hopefully PAY THE GHOST scares up some cash based off of a strong story line. Often people cringe during Cage flicks. Hopefully if they do during PAY THE GHOST it will be for the right reasons..
CJ Pearson is an immediate success with conservatives for his youthful attacks on the President and Democrats..
He’s a black teen who has been swelling in popularity..
But now it appears that the teen in stardom fever either punked his fans or was punked himself, with no evidence pointing at an unfollow conspiracy.. And more: This young intelligent (I will give him that) teen wants people to sign a petition to meet with Obama–this is the reason, Pearson says, he was banned…
The Pope’s Excellent American Vacation comes to Philly. And then Francis met Marky Mark
The major story this week was the Papal visit.. covered here a bit too..
There remains a few last minute articles to contemplate regarding the Pope before he goes back to Rome..
Among them:
Did Philadelphia go *way* overboard with security? I know few things not mentioned in the USA TODAY article.. I would argue, based off of what I know, it was beyond overboard and almost paranoid.. Maybe they were listening to the prophecies about end times, or even the Mormons fretting about the Sunday blood moon. The pope has also showcased his energy during his excellent American adventure, but he is now wearyand walking with a limp–and caught on camera stumbling up the steps..
I think people so often forget his age..
But there was one last Papal moment, at this point, that I need desreves some notes..
It’s this: Actor Mark Wahlberg hosted an event attended by Pope Francis in Philly.. He also made a joke about the raunchy movie ‘TED’ in front of Francis..
After Bobby Hill, 14, of the Keystone State Boychoir performed an opera solo, he told Wahlberg that he liked his performance in the movie about an angry talking teddy bear. “He whispered in my ear that he liked the movie 'Ted,’” Wahlberg said. “I told him that was not appropriate for his age. Holy Father, please forgive me.”
He also said “go Eagles”… tacky tacky tacky..
NASA has set a Mars news conference for Monday September 28 to present a ‘major announcement’
The space agency says a major announcement is coming Monday, a news conference is set for 11:30am ET adn will be broadcast on NASA TV and its website–hopefully it the news is big enough, people will ignore Donald Trump for five minutes and actually give the space agency some time on the major networks..
If it’s HUGE enough, NBC should do the Chimes of Death and give us a special report on their affiliates. Of course it would have to be big news for the Chimes to play.
Perhaps water on Mars is.. or life.. or evidence, conclusive evidence, of either..
One common joke has emerged on the Twitters: NASA found astronaut Mark Watney. Watney is the name of the fictional astronaut stranded on Mars in the movie THE MARTIAN.
While people are in a frenzy with speculation, a part of me thinks this will be just be a ho-hum news conference with little information rendered.
I hope I’m wrong, but that seemingly has happened before with earth shattering news.
The most exciting space story of the year, minus the rodents on Mars images offbeat sites find, has been Pluto and the ever changing way we view that non planet planet. I think life on Mars or evidence of past life would far dominate Pluto..
We will see Monday.

A New Hampshire man caught this image of lights in the sky…
Others have reported the very same type of light formation–only one caught with camera–in various other places..
It’s a UFO, for sure.
But will it ever become an IFO eventually?
Lots of people are freaked by the blood moon and eclipse Sunday.. but it would appear the Mormons are really hunkering down for the end times
So far the 9/23/15 asteroid NEVER hit.. I doubt the lunar lunacy will end the planet, either.
Sadly the day the REAL end comes via space rock or sun spot, we’ll be ill-prepared due to our busy nature of listening and giving credit to false prophets who deserve none..

Aliens may be attempting to contact this planet right now.
We just …well.. cannot hear them.
Sort of depressing to think of what we may be missing
Firm behind Apple’s Spaceship HQ reveals plans for Mars habitat
And it’s going to be future shock for some..
‘The design of the habitat – carried out in collaboration with industrial and academic partners – envisions a robust 3D-printed dwelling for up to four astronauts constructed using regolith – the loose soil and rocks found on the surface of Mars,’ it said.The settlement on Mars will be constructed by an array of pre-programmed, semi-autonomous robots prior to the eventual arrival of the astronauts. The habitat will be delivered in two stages prior to the arrival of the astronauts. First, the semi-autonomous robots select the site and dig a 1.5 metre deep crater, followed by a second delivery of the inflatable modules which sit within the crater to form the core of the settlement.

The Fed’s Confusing Message About Interest Rate Increases
FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES:
Economists always warn, correctly, not to make too much of any single economic report, but rather to analyze new information in terms of longer-term trends.
At the same time, Federal Reserve officials, up to and including Fed chair and ace economist Janet Yellen, keep saying they will raise interest rates this year as long as there are no rude surprises in the economic data – as if Fed policy depends on the next data point, the next report.

Congressman swipes Pope’s glass …
From PHILLY:
The pope sipped from the glass at least three times during his speech, Brady told the Daily News on Thursday night. And as the Holy Father left the chamber - and as many a legislator tried to make contact with him - the congressman calmly headed to the lectern and delicately picked up Papa Francisco’s glass, holding it by two fingers, one at the bottom of the glass and one at the rim.
Holy moly.

Party line
I called 760-733-9969 a few times since Clyde Lewis mentioned it on his show last night.. Though I had heard about the famed Mojave desert phone booth many times over, I had forgotten it returned a few years ago thanks to someone who bought the line and made a conference call bridge out of it..
Obviously with the newfound attention of Ground Zero listeners, the number has a vast possibility of gaining traction all over again..
The call this morning was at times annoying, frantic, strange, bizarre.. Creepy. People speaking about Jesus and also crying out about the devil. At one point when there were only about six people on it, I actually had a bit of a meaningful conversation with the people talking..
I promise this: Some more urban legend and desert facts about the Mojave phone booth will be coming after I conduct more research.. And also more phone calls will be placed to hear the shenanigans and strangeness greeting me on the other end..
Certainly hope Clyde Lewis does another show about it in total..
