Talk:Julia Sweeney

message: In her monologue, Sweeney shared a story of when her mother told her her birthday was really October 10th instead of September 10th, and how traumatic it was to discover she was not a winsome Virgo but really a Libra, symbolized as a cosmic scale. Ironically, based on the science of astronomy instead of mythical astrology, she really was a born a Virgo due to the precession of Earth's axis over time.
That (in bold) is an incorrect statement. Based on the science of astronomy she's a virgo? Wait a minute, when do astronomy started to adress a zodiacal sign on people? Astronomy is a science, it does not adress mythical signs on people. By the way, astrology is not about constellations, astrology believes in periods of the year - it's not the signs that are based in constellations, it's the other way, constellations where named after the signs. One may argue that astrology is ridiculous (myself, for example), but we must criticize it correctly, citing astrology's beliefs, not the general misconception of astrology...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.159.252.22 (talk) 19:58, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Astrology 

message: A HUGE part of Julia's life for the past 10 years or so has been her activities in the Atheist movement.  She's written a book, toured with the act on stage, done extensive interviews, attended numerous Atheist conventions (The Amaz!ng Meeting, Atheists Alliance Int'l, American Atheists, Freedom From Religion Foundation, etc.).  I would think there'd be an entire section devoted to that part of her life; instead, all we have is a weak little section about the "Letting Go of God" monologue?  I think you Wikipedians need to stick with subjects you know something about.  You clearly don't know Julia.
:If you know so much about the subject then fix it. BE BOLD. Insulting "us Wikipedians" is counterproductive. — Sandtiger 00:40, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

message: what about the movie of the same title coming out later this year, is there any information about this? --voodoom 04:27, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's completed, but I don't think she has a release date yet.  I attended a private screening in September and it was great!  She can't release it until after Sundance Film Festival (they require all submissions to be pre-release).  Not sure when that is or whether it's passed already.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.4.206.132 (talk) 01:47, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

message: My recollection is that for the first few appearances, maybe even the first year, of Pat on SNL, people didn't even know who was playing the character and weren't sure if it was a male or female actor. If this can be verified with reliable sources, it would be interesting to add.Lawikitejana (talk) 04:20, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
