Chestertonian movies

Manalive (a book by Chesterton) is being made into a movie, here is the trailer.



Of course, at this stage I can't say whether or not the movie will be any good, but the trailer is quite funny.

Also there are rumors that "The man who was thursday" will be released sometime in 2010.

Chesterton Reformed: A Protestant Interpretation, James Sauer

I found this essay about GK Chesterton as a Roman Catholic, it is very good.

I've also been interested in Chesterton as a revolutionary, and will hopefully write about that when I come to a conclusion.

In other news, while playing volleyball with our new ball I invented a new sport. Because this particular ball was made for beginners it is more bouncy than the common volleyball. This led me to invent volleypong, which is a cross between volleyball and ping pong. Official rules are being created because people got irritated at me writing rules on the fly.

Earlier that day, we had received intelligence that our "enemies" were going to set up an advanced outpost quite close to our territories. Unfortunately they set up their camp in the midst of civilians, so we could not use live rounds, so we armed up with water balloons and made the assault with non-lethal weapons.
