By the time Hollywood has eaten it, it's down to wearing a red bracelet to ward off the evil eye. Qabala/Kabbala is a serious school of philosophy, in the Platonist vein.

Let's see, she only drinks water blessed by a rabbi, she believes in the Evil Eye, and she's espoused half a dozen fad diets and strange beliefs over the years. She probably believes that if someone were to get a hold of something of her body, something awful might happen.  Yeah, I’m with those who figure it’s probably true, it sounds like her.

Fantastic film, saw it in Austin when it came out. Second thought: this reminds me of a story from my aunt in the little town of Ripley WV, where G.W. Bush went for the fourth of July 2002. Bush had it arranged so he would literally never have to set foot on the ground. Temporary wood walkways and red carpets were installed wherever he went. Seems even crazier than the DNA paranoia, so who knows?  Yeah that was my first thought. Fantastic film, saw it in Austin when it came out.

I don't want to see folks making that mistake. It's a piece of Murdoch shit, staffed by scum.
