Product endorsements Blogging buddy Steve Knight makes some pretty good points about the director of the Movie That Shall Not Be Named, and about contemporary Christianity's seeming need for celebrity spokespeople to endorse our "product." But what will happen when the stir over the P-movie subsides? "[W]hen Mel appears in Mad Max: Fury Road later this year or when Jim Caviezel stars in a creepy sci-fi flick (The Final Cut), how will we (the Christian community currently clamoring into cineplexes for The Passion) react? Will we cut them loose? Or will we still care about them and their careers? ... So let's be real and let's be honest. Because, in the end (if we keep treating these people like we have in the past, disowning them from the family of God), let's face it -- all we're really left with is Kirk Cameron and Willie Aames."
Kirk Cameron and Willie Aames?!? What about Rosey Grier? *Sighs* How quickly we forget.
