David Review (Spoilers)

I went to watch the movie David by Angel Studios with my mom and my brother. As the title of the movie suggests, the movie tells the Biblical story of David who is anointed by the prophet Samuel to be king in place of Saul. After he defeats Goliath, David becomes well-liked amongst the people. This makes King Saul jealous, and he suspects that David is trying to take the kingdom away from him, so he tries to kill him.

I pilot a spaceship dodging enemy fire from a large alien armada and jump into hyperspace. I swim to the depths of the sea to visit mermaids. I sit on the bench and have a pleasant talk with Bilbo Baggins. I rise from my chair and volunteer to help Frodo on his journey to Mordor and join the fellowship.

“Can you come back to reality for five minutes?” Jacob asks.

“Nope,” I say.

“Why not?”

“Because in reality, I’m in Wisconsin, but I haven’t a clue where you are. You’ve been missing for months.”
