![]() Much of the useful information here is cited from other sources, which I will give him credit for. The author does make some good points about parenting. I suppose, though, from his perspective it is. Anything not part of foot-washing baptist dogma was suspect, which is why you have doom peddlers like the author lumping Buddhism, Judaism, Wicca, Satanism, and Hinduism into the same evil lump. The pope was the antichrist and spreading the word of Satan. ![]() This was written during a time when there was a big anti-Catholic push in the fundamentalist community. Or should I say non-evangelical fundamentalist Christian, which is its own thing. He never fully explains it, either because he doesn’t know, or perhaps it was more effective as an ill-defined catch-all term for non-Christian. The author has a shaky idea of what should be considered occult. Currently he’s running a non-profit in Texas, called God Loves Kids. In order to make an impact, give himself some distinction, he decided to “bravely” go after the toy industry (not any specific company mind you- don’t want to get sued) for inserting occultism into their daily lives. That is one who roams around in revival tents and so forth, with no permanent flock to call his own. Pastor Phil Phillips (No to be confused with the singer of the same name, the one who gave us “Sea of Love”) was an evangelical missionary. He is more focused on occult influence from humanist and eastern religions, but his worries are exaggerated to a ridiculous degree. I will get something out of the way, to the author's credit he doesn’t claim the problems with the toy industry is due to a Satanic cabal as did many of his brethren. Ostensibly it is 191 pages, but seventeen of those are the gallery filled with pictures of toys which you already know how to visualize, ten of those are footnotes, and the font size is extra large. Make no mistake, this is not really a full sized book. And while I did become a Satanist, I doubt it was because I once picked up a Cabbage Patch Kid. This was originally written in the 80s and revolves around most of the toy lines I grew up playing. ![]() Toy Story 4 is due out in theaters June 21.An unintentionally hysterical book on the Occult terrors lurking in the toy boxes of American children. Allen compared Reeves’ performance as Duke Caboom to Michael Keaton’s as Ken the doll in Toy Story 3, adding, “Keanu jumps it up a notch.” “I sat with him during a preview and I had just seen John Wick 3. I was thinking that I don’t want to upset or he will stab me with a fork or something,” said Tim Allen, who voices Buzz Lightyear. He is in theaters with the latest installment in Lionsgate’s John Wick series and can also be seen in Randall Park and Ali Wong’s Netflix rom-com Always Be My Maybe, in which he plays a heightened version of himself. “He climbed on a table and was striking poses in the middle of the atrium and we thought, that is Duke Caboom!” It was during lunch, said the producer, that Reeves came up with the idea for Caboom’s signature compulsion for posing. Said Nielsen, “He was like, ‘What is this guy about? What is he afraid of?’ He really wanted to dig deep into this character.” Wanting to learn more about the character before he started recording, Reeves went to Pixar’s Emeryville, California. “With the first one we said, ‘Wait, stop! Who is that?’ And it was Keanu,” Cooley recalled Tuesday at the movie’s Hollywood premiere at the El Capitan theater.
