I'd actually not watched the original before... of course the cross was on purpose. He was talking about Christ the whole time. Denying it is stupid but it's not as if it was a secret message or anything subliminal. Gah. He was talking about the birth of Christ. If he was talking about something else with a cross floating in the background while pretending not to be making a religious statement that would be different.

Showed the original to my 15 y.o., who is into making movies. We tried to figure out how they made the background move like that, and well, whatever they did, they put a lot of work into making it turn out like it did. Slick camera work -- what we used to call "smoke and mirrors."
First I heard of him was when he lost 100 pounds and ran a marathon.
I thought, "Hmm, good move."
Then he said he was into the Stones.
I had sympathy for that.
Now I want Keith Richards to stagger down the drive of his Connecticut estate, a butt in one hand and a drink in the other, and say, "Uh, arrr, eh," and then vomit and pass out in the snow.

He thought he knew how to sucker people.
