Ted Dekker

I suppose I'm being biased, but I can't bring myself to say anything against Ted Dekker. :anxious:

I personally really like his writing style, old and new. I have yet to read 2 books in the Martyrs Song series and... Skin, methinks. I really enjoy Dekker, not only because he keeps me guessing, but because of his unique style. And... some of the things he writes are just ... "Dude, so been there." Maybe it's an MK thing ... :anxious:

;) or a TCK thing.
I really like DekKer because he's got a unique style. Not quite informal, not quite formal. Just ... amusing and detached and DekKeresque.

It was horribly written, directed, acted, and produced? O:)

It wasn't even good for a Christian film, and really, the point of a Christian film shouldn't be to be good for a Christian film, anyway... it should be to be a good film. The handful of unsaved people I know who actually bothered to see Thr3e thought it was just horribly, laughably bad. It tried to be a horror movie and it just stank. :noway:

Thr3e isn't a horror story... but House is. And that movie looks like it could do pretty well. Hopefully. :anxious:

Well, horror in the same way as Se7en or the Saw series... maybe more suspence than horror.

I'm sure I'll get around to seeing House but after Thr3e its not something I really am looking forward to. :(

Ok, I think it's Skin. I think Barsidious(how do you spell his name? 0_o) White is in Saint.
