Surely John wasn't a pervert! (Fuzzy Logic)

Right... Bare with me here.

John's miracles, listed here:

First, John resuscitated Del's mouse. It pretty much involved John sucking the "Bad" or the "Death" out of the Mouse, through it's mouth, into his mouth... Evidenced by him blowing out the "Bad stuff".

Second, John sucks the Cancer out of Hal's wife as she lays in bed dying. He just sucks it... right out of her mouth, into his and disposes of the badness, INTO Percy... Via, yes, you guessed it, the Mouth; only for Percy to do "Bad" and then expel the "Badness" via his mouth...

You see, here's my thing...

Paul Edgecomb... Paul Edgecomb has a Groin/Penis infection... Now for the purposes of continuity n'all, shouldn't John Coffe have given Paul Edgecomb a full on Blow Job?

Are you drunk?

No, I was the next best thing though, confused...

I mean, a little continuity wouldn't go amiss would it?

He does heal via the mouth though doesn't he?

Not necessarily. Think of what it says in scripture about the laying on of hands. So No, John was no pervert.

[–] The_Monocled_Mutineer 11 years ago

No, I never said that he was a Pervert.

So, why didn't he just lay his hands on Hal's wife, it would have been far less intrusive and a lot less alarming.

I still think it's a torrid continuity error.

[–] doug65oh 11 years ago

No, there's no continuity problem at all. In every instance but one (leaving aside Percy's infection with the tumor, which is directly opposed to Paul's healing so should be obvious) Coffey had direct access to those he healed or sought to heal - the girls, Mr. Jingles, Melinda, and so on. The method employed varied according to the situation.

[–] The_Monocled_Mutineer 11 years ago

Ok, so not so much a continuity problem, but most definitely a consistency problem...

[–] doug65oh 11 years ago

Exactly.

One of the most unnecessary OP's this movie fan has ever read on this site. You equate a bladder infection to reviving a dead mouse and curing a woman with incurable brain cancer. Grow up man!

[–] The_Monocled_Mutineer 11 years ago

Erm. No I don't.

Please re-read, but this time, maybe... I don't know, read it properly, without the superiority complex, you "Movie Fan".

I'll grow up when you get off your high horse. For it's a long, long way down.

Well, your post certainly made me smirk. I can see your point. And what's with all the sourfaces in this thread?

I also admire your patience to respond to these idiots that don't get a joke....

Thank you.

Some people take life far too seriously.
