...role, but Morissette is surprisingly appropriate. Rather than the wrathful God we hear Loki and Bartelby talk of during the beginning of the film, Morissette is a playfully foolish hippie. Don't worry; God isn't portrayed as a total goof: a mother's smile and a beatific demeanor balance Morissette's character, and exhibit an unconventional reverence for the role. She never speaks, but one can tell by Her presence that She is not something to be understood, and certainly not something to be feared...

Gore has explicitly said he's "throwing away" his prepared text. To broadcast his soul searching, he has released his Vietnam letters. His campaign has even leaked Gore's handwritten text of an ad to show he's not consultant...
