The Lego Movie and Dismissed Green Lantern

So, Green Lantern was in The Lego Movie.

I heard that Green Lantern revealed that he had same-sex attraction in one of his comics. What surprised me was that he was dismissed so blatantly by the main character Emmet in the movie, saying something like, "excuse me" while he pushed Green Lantern out of the way.

It was unexpected in this modern movie.

The Lego Movie and Tolerant Unikitty

***Spoilers Alert!*** It's was hilarious that The Lego Movie had multiple jabs against liberal agenda items. One was against Unikitty's "tolerance".

In her cloud land, nice Unikitty made sure that the main characters knew that they could do whatever they wanted.

However, if they stopped or discouraged anyone from doing whatever they wanted...

... bad Unikitty appeared.

The hippy-dippy, modern version of tolerance personified in a Lego character. Yea!

The Lego Movie's Prophesying by Vitruvius

***Spoilers Alert!*** So, Morgan Freeman's character Vitruvius (accent on "tru"; on the right in the picture below) revealed a prophesy in The Lego Movie that was pretty silly.

Image source: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXP-939Po5DHJLIYsmg9SmbaO4YB01VhvxkiQU9bcvIz_pwjF2AzB1WuDYL_3u-wmx4ASzEC3nPiixWABrKFawjXOu_41LXTfFaFkNx8yn2rM_cXBOIUHqrtlIaCRMjFK2HQvIQ6dBdR_b/s1600/lego+movie+master+businessman.JPG

Near the end of the movie, Vitruvius said that he made it up. (The specific prophesy of The Lego Movie will be looked at soon; in this post, just the silliness of the telling of the prophesy will be explored briefly.)

Looking to Jesus, there were many prophesies made about him in the Old Testament (Torah and other books). The ancient prophets of his Hebrew (Jewish) community said that there would be a person anointed Savior of Israel, to rule as a son of King David. There were many other prophesies about a new and eternal King of Israel that would deal with the enemies of Israel.

The thing is that if a prophet was found out to be a false prophet, or one who prophesied falsely, according to the Law of Moses (Jewish Law) that prophet should die. (That's one of the reasons that Jesus died, the Israel leadership believed that he was a false prophet.) This is one reason why the Hebrew community took prophesying seriously.

So, prophesying in the Hebrew world was not a light matter. Of course, the Lego world could take Vitruvius' prophesying lightly since they were just plastic who were filmed by stop action cameras (and/or CGI).

The Lego Movie Bad Cop Singing Danny Boy on Saint Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This week, The Lego Movie will be looked at. Yes, there are things to write about it.

For today, I looked for a clip of Liam Neeson singing "Danny Boy" on YouTube (etc.) but couldn't find one.

I'll just leave you with a prayer of St. Patrick (Jesus is "Christ"):
