Item 1: Jesus Christ got nailed by the Romans when he was about 33 years old. It was quite an ordeal by all accounts, but according to Christians, it was apparently not permanently fatal. They say that the reason he hasn’t been seen around much since is that the zombie Jesus is living “elsewhere” until further needed.

Anyway, the very popular – and in my opinion very entertaining – rock opera “Jesus Christ Superstar” made a star out of Ted Neeley in the role of Jesus.

That was in the early ’70s, when Neeley was in his early thirties. Apropos.

Now Ted Neeley is 65 and still playing Jesus in the road production. Or is he playing the zombie Jesus, at this advanced age?

Item 2: When James Stewart finished filming “Bell, Book and Candle” opposite Kim Novak – who was younger than his toupee – he switched to Westerns because he thought it was ludicrous to play romantic with children. Nowadays it’s a Hollywood formula, but I’m with Jimmy on this one. It’s just creepy.

Item 3: When the Harry Potter movie series started filming, the producers promised to change the younger actors every couple of movies in order to maintain a cast that matched the age of the characters. The seven books cover seven years of Harry Potter’s life, from age 11 through age 17.

The resulting eight movies (milking the series for every penny they can get) will take 11 years to complete, yet the promised new cast has never appeared.

The result gives us a group of twenty-somethings playing 17 year old kids. Not a Ted Neeley extreme, but so much for artistic integrity.

Last item: What’s with Peter Pan always being played by ladies? This is a children’s story where a young male adolescent is played by a grown woman. And parents want to blame the sexual “confusion” of their gay children on Democrats?
