Perhaps, but the film's success may elude duplication. It features a sprightly enough plot: codes hidden in the Bible lead the audience to an understanding that the Apocalypse, complete with York as the Antichrist, is unfolding around Van Dien. Given its budget, the quality of its writing, acting and production is remarkably high--about miniseries level. Crouch believes a narrative pivoting on predictions from the books of Daniel and Revelation is especially charming to literal-minded Christians. "The biblically based story points are what they get off on," he says...

...timpani looks as if it were forged for the artistic elevation of soups. Its expansive, gleaming copper bowl tilted jauntily to a side and the drumhead stretched taut over its opening suggest hidden depths of bouillon--of boiling meats and vegetables.

But the MFA's frustrating lack of commitment to contemporary art leaves a diffuse network of university galleries and miscellaneous non-profits picking up the slack. Fantastic exhibitions are hidden away in odd corners, most reliably at the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), the List Visual Arts Center and the Rose Art Museum.

...start with similar digits (504, 304, 604, etc.)? Ever think there might be a conspiracy to rank students according to social status (104=in FM nearly every week, 304=cool, 604=not antisocial, 904=Science Fiction Association)? Wamback assures us that "There are no personal, social or academic attributes hidden in the number. This is simply a numbering convention based on a custom generation algorithm. Numbers are assigned at random based on the next available number whether the individual is a student or an employee. The first numbers issued back in 1974 began with 100, 200, through 900.
