Aha. Reproof:-). Al, I have seen Beetlejuice more times than I can
count. I was mesmerized by Batman. I never got to see Edward
Scissorhands because I was at work while my kids were not: they assured
me it sucked. How do I know? I watched the trailer for Corpse Bride
before I said whatever it was I said. Visually it was gorgeous. It was
the concept that got me a bit whacked. I gather the young gentleman is
supposed to marry a real live woman but winds up with two women, one of
whom is not quite all there?

39. Not observing the imperfections of others, preserving silence and a continual communion with God will eradicate great imperfections from the
soul and make it the possessor of great virtues.
