The Day Metallica Came to Church
John Van Sloten, whom some call “Canada’s pop-culture pastor,” once preached a sermon about Metallica and the band’s spiritual connection, never believing anyone outside of his congregation — Calgary’s New Hope Church — would notice. But word spread, it made international news, and even the heavy-metal band heard about it.

Second ‘Dawn Treader’ Mini-Trailer Appears
A new mini-trailer (a little over a minute long, about half the length of a “normal” trailer) for the upcoming Voyage of the Dawn Treader film appears on the new DVD for Diary of a Wimpy Kid . It looks fine, but it’s SO “Lucy-centric” (she’s the only human we see for more than half of the trailer) and totally lacking in Eustace Scrubb, arguably the most important character in this particular story.
