Come on, guys. This is funny. It's a joke. Don't take yourselves so seriously.

At least spell Ingmar Bergman properly. Also, I'm not sure what you guys are going for here. Is this an attempt to draw a parallel between semi-decent taste in cinema and worldliness in the "hipster church"? It seems callous and lacking in grace (not to mention lacking in journalistic integrity, or dialogue with ANYBODY whose church was detailed in the article. perhaps that would have been a useful perspective, but heck, when painting with a wide brush it's good to leave other sizes aside.) I'm sorry, this is just frustrating.

What a silly article. Hipsters DO NOT LIKE being called Hipsters! And what a surprise, at 49 I find I am a Hipster. Except... DON"T CALL ME THAT!
