Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you all know real quick that I saw The Ritual in the theater. It’s an exorcism movie starring Al Pacino and Dan Stevens as a couple of priests. And Patricia Heaton plays a nun! I guess they’ll do anything these days. Apparently it’s based on a true story. I’m glad it’s not my true story. Alas, I fell asleep during the last half hour or so. Or maybe it was just the last 15 minutes? It was hard to tell, but next thing I knew when I opened my eyes back up, the end credits were starting. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to fall asleep! I like to stay awake even for the movies I don’t find very interesting so that I can know why I don’t find them very interesting. Oh well. Maybe everyone (including the demon) would have been better off if they’d just slept through the whole exorcism? Something to think about…
