In the summer, my biking route takes me past the American ambassador's residence. I always ceremonially spit while going by; I might graduate to futile muttering or yelling.

I'm legit proud of spitting on Cromwell's tomb when I visited Westminster Abbey with Flex.

You better be referring to George Burns as God (in Oh God and, to a lesser extent, Oh God You Devil) and Jon King of Gang of Four. Otherwise, we need a French or Commie revolution.

I only know about the baffling existence of of the Oh God trilogy from Wolter and Ali's podcast. The eighties were weird.

It may be entirely unfunny on viewing today, but I loved the first one as a kid (which might be the last time I saw it too). George Burns was a goddamned treasure.

Guess who's rumo(u)red to be the next ambassador to Canada? Hint...she can see you from her house!

Backtrack to status quo asap and squander a chance to lock up a generation? Check.

Going back...

To be fair, the first one was the 70s, and directed by Carl Reiner, and *might* hold up now. The second, Oh God! Book Two, was...not. And does not. Though it does have a scene of a little girl being driven around by an invisible God on a motorcycle.

I migh have to download a copy of the first one now to see whether I can be, like, ten again.

I note that Coyne does not deny that he's blind.

We watched it last night (oddly enough, it was on a movie channel this afternoon) and, well, it's pretty meh. It seems like a constant build up to nothing. I ended up more interested in it as a historical document, reflecting/contributing to the resurgence of Christianity in the 1970s, particularly the strain that emphasized a personal relationship with Christ. Oh God! has a more liberal spin than the increasingly conservative take on Christianity into the 80s, but it does fit with Americans' growing emphasis on the spiritual, especially in a very public way.
