Good. Fine. Decent.
I don't feel very invested in the paradoxes of Christianity - certainly not anymore. And, if I did, I think I'd read something like Ted Chiang's Hell Is the Absence of God (chef's kiss!!), or maybe Karen Armstrong's book on how Christianity kinda lost mysticism back in Medieval times and isn't that a shame, or maybe that angry atheist book whose title now eludes me (not by Dawkins and not by Hitchens).
This was fine. It's about the core paradoxes of Christianity, as embodied by Judas, as told in the kinda awkward early 2000s, ahem, cool slang. I skimmed the original cast list and saw that Sam Rockwell played (originated?) the role of Judas and, well, that kinda ruined it for me. I couldn't hear any other voice, see any other actor. Aw, damn. I don't love Sam Rockwell. He's fine. I loved him in Galaxy Quest (“man, I'm just jazzed about being on the show” - one of my go-to quotes). Here's a great trailer of one of his movies. Shrug!
