For me, the only real value of all of this Rapture chatter is that it gives me an opportunity to post this screen capture:
That's David Duchovny as Fox Mulder in the (criminally underrated) fourth-season X-Files episode "The Field Where I Died" (an episode that has something to do with the Rapture, but isn't its main focus). Doesn't he look oh so, well, enraptured by extreme possibilities? If the pitch-black background and the skyward direction of Duchovny's teary eyes don't inspire thoughts of religious contemplation on the day that the true believers supposedly go to Heaven, then I don't know what else will!
Oh, and no, I haven't seen Michael Tolkin's 1991 film The Rapture, which also features Duchovny. Though I have to admit, my interest in seeing that has shot through the roof with all this silly Rapture talk in recent days. Remind me of how this became a major news story again?

As far as I can remember, which isn't much, the billboard drew our attention and then it was all funsville from there!!
Yeah, that was how I first heard about the supposed importance of May 21. I just didn't expect it to quite blow up the way it has.
