Madcap Movies

This may need to be a regular blog feature...

I am scanning through what's on t.v. I click info to see the descriptions of movies. One catches my eye and inspired this...

The title is Sassy Sue. That sounds pretty bad right there...I'm not sure I can even articulate why (and I shouldn't need to, I mean, c'mon!). Sassy Sue?! Sounds like porno-light or something. But that's not my point. Here's the description...

"A chicken farmer seems to spend too much time with his prize cow."

Okay, for starters, a movie about a chicken farmer with a prize cow. Like that's not enough right there. But secondly, the word "seems". He "seems" to spend too much time with his cow? Wow.

I'm tempted to watch this movie just because of the crazy-ass description. That would be taking one for the team. I'm not sure I can manage it. We'll see.

Spending time with cows is a very subjective manner. Of course one can only surmise that it "seems" like too much time. It's like the first lesson you learn in 4-H.

Thanks for dropping by Rodrigo. Good luck with Sid - and the shirts.

The movie Sassy Sue is a commentary on the unfaithful society we live in. While the farmer should be spending times with his chickens - god (chickens lay eggs which is a metaphor for creating life), he seems to be spending too much time with the cow - golden calf, false idol. The "seems" stems from the fact that god is insecure and wants people to worship him, and it is this negative frame of mind the mistakenly determines how much time the chickens perceive the farmer is actually spending with the cow.
