It was the weekend and I was home relaxing with some afternoon cable programs. You gotta love cable it really gives you so much to choose from!
Anyway, I am looking at the listings and there is Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Vampires, Psychics, Ghost Stories, Exorcists, more teen aged Sorcery…the list goes on and on…Then I started to think about all of the Christian Fundmentalists out there that seem to be so upset about these movies and programs and complain and ban them in their congregations. You know somebody always have something to say…
But as I recall growing up there was all sorts of shows about magic, and I don’t remember anyone complaining back then…”Bewitched”, “I Dream of Jeanie”, “Bell, Book and Candle”, and one of my favorite movies “Bed Knobsand Broomsticks!!”
Jeez! these were movies with James Stewart, Angela Landsbury, and many made by Disney. So what is the difference now?? I guess one could say there is allot more violence? But that really doesn’t have to do with the theme of the supernatural…That’s in everything today, from drama to thrillers. We have just evolved into a more violent society.
I happened to catch “Bed Knobs and Broomsticks” on the TMC channel and had a great time. There is so much magic in the world around us. I just wish more people could relax and let it flow.
And you know what?? If you happen to think about it…You can tell your kids that you had better movies than Harry Potter and maybe rent it and share it with them some weekend. I bet the young ones like “Bed knobs and Broomsticks” better than some of the programs available today.
So I decided to post a video on one of my favorite scenes and songs. I hope you enjoy.
