...R2D2, precursor to Jar Jar Binks. At the end, a wandering poet (Burgess Meredith) says that Perseus' achievements might inspire him to write a play, and when Bubo starts clucking he says comfortingly, "Oh, don't worry, I won't leave you out." The new movie's screenwriters, Travis Beacham, Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi, took that as a cue to usher Bubo into a scene where Perseus (Sam Worthington) is girding for battle. "What is this?" he asks a soldier, who replies, "Leave it." The whole thing takes about 15 secs., which is quite Bubonic enough for my tastes...

The next year the event went countrywide, and the National Network, which acts as an information clearinghouse for some 100 youth evangelical groups, became involved. Says Clark: "It was like lighting dry brush with a match." The religion-tracking Barna Research Group tallied...
...also more overtly evangelistic than the atonement-oriented adult events. It overlaps another National Network project, Challenge 2000, the aim of which is "to help take the message of Christ to every school and every young person" within two years. Beacham has said that as See You spread, "we weren't even sure it was legal." It is. In 1990 the Supreme Court overwhelmingly sustained the constitutionality of a 1984 law permitting student prayer on school grounds if the prayer is not adult-led or during class hours. But the event still bothers some civil libertarians. Barry Lynn, head...
