CHARIOTS OF FIRE

I was talking to a guy yesterday and he told me that one of the best movies ever made was chariots of fire. I replied, what! That was one of the all time worst movies ever made and---. At this point he cuts me off and say's, did you seeeeeee that movie, it's a true movie about a guy who refused to race on Sunday. This was the very point I was going to make had I not been cut off mid-sentence. I wanted to say that you can't make a movie out of every little issue that some goody-two shoes comes up with. Further I wanted to tell him the reason that droves of movie goers went to this movie was because of the millions of dollars that went into the marketing of it. Like myself they were suckered in by a fancy title (chariots of fire) and beautiful theme music. And then I assume that like me, they were left bitterly dissappointed when they did'nt see any chariots of fire or anything resembling something interesting. I didn't get to say any of these things because my friend spent the next fifteen minutes repeating over and over again that it was about a guy that wouldn't compete on Sunday. I'm going to mercifully end this now because I have a feeling that many readers might just be thinking that this little tidbit belongs in the same catigory as chariots of fire. I should have named this little article "Tid bits of Fire" and then maybe it would have won a pulitzer prize or something.
