The Wicker Man

[annwfyn]

Stuff I learned from 'The Wicker Man':

• Cults rely heavily on the stupidity of others.



• The Californian Police skimp seriously when training their police in any form of investigative technique.



• Celtic and Saxon pagan traditions can easily be mingled and mistaken for each other.



• I missed out on the extra bits of maypole dancing when I was at school. Apparently there should have been a 'assist in ritual pagan human sacrifice' part to the process, instead of just skipping around with some ribbons as I foolishly believed.



• The Pacific North-West is the creepiest place in the world ever. Seriously. First 'The Ring' and then this? It's a wonder melsner is as sane as he is!



• Nick Cage is getting increasingly desperate for work. I mean, what possessed him?

Bad film, but good company. And at least I now know what happens when Black Furies Go Bad.

That tells me all I need to know then. Becky was slightly curious about seeing this.

The original Wicker Man was a fantastic movie. I knew as soon as I found out about the remake it would be terrible. I have no intention of seeing it.

I also believe the original took place in like Whales or Scotland. Can't remember though. I know it wasn't the North West US.

Melsner is not sane in any case. However he is not the one to worry about. :)

Obviously they teach different maypole techniques in Cali, but then again, California is a depraved land of insanity (so I must say because I'm Idahoan.)

I do have the original if you want to see it, it's pretty good. There is naked dancing in it!

Naked Dancing!

We had Mayfest in White Salmon. Dancing around the flag pole in leiderhosen.

Good to know that we were doing it the right way.
