The Passion of the Christ.

Tomas Rueda · 04-09-2004, 08:40 AM

I know, I know.... (sigh)
It has been 38 days since its release, and probaly y'all have arlready seen it. (Talk about who hasn't)

this is a pretty large forum:
So tell me What y'all think about it.

Clodfobble · 04-09-2004, 09:43 AM

Didn't see it. Not going to. The South Park summation was good enough for me.

perth · 04-09-2004, 09:45 AM

I will see it when I can borrow it from a fundie co-worker for free on DVD. Morbid curiousity, really. I'm as much interested in hearing Aramaic spoken as I am in seeing gratuitous violence.

smoothmoniker · 04-09-2004, 09:56 AM

liked the book better.

Tomas Rueda · 04-09-2004, 10:24 AM

why not?

the book is definetly better because it talks about the before, the after and even interactive instructions to participate in the glory and majesty of Him who is watching us.

(apologies to those who don't agree) i hope you get to know Him better someday though.

I'm having a pogrom for this Easter week! Who's with me?

wolf · 04-09-2004, 10:33 AM

Only if I can be part of the mounted unit that rushes through the center of town overturning the meagerly stocked vegetable cart of the hunchbacked old lady with the shawl ... (note, please, my open-mindedness, as Oester was over two weeks ago. You guys gotta catch up).

Happy Monkey · 04-09-2004, 11:29 AM

I expect I'll see it someday.

I was chucking about the billing driving by one of the local duo-plexes:

The Passion of the Christ and Hellboy. Its a double header. Get the big barrel of pop corn!

Happy Monkey · 04-09-2004, 12:56 PM

Passion was unseated by Day of the Dead, and then eventually Hellboy.

Execution -> Resurrection -> Apocalypse.

It all falls together.

headsplice · 04-09-2004, 05:15 PM

The Jesus Chainsaw Massacre? I'm probably not going to see it. I have no need to see some poor slob nailed to a cross (INCORRECTLY!) after he's been beaten for two hours. If masochism is needed, I'll go read some of the Old Marquis or go hang out with my ex's.

wolf · 04-11-2004, 12:04 AM

Went to see it tonight.

Thought it was good ... no religious revelations or conversion as a consequence, however. (okay, so there was a minor revelation ... speculated on notion of Christ as Shaman for a bit, but then got over it).

Have to confess to flashing on that scene in A Clockwork Orange where Alex is in the prison and he gets religion ... reading the bible and envisioning himself as one of the Romans doing a bit of the tolchocking and all ...

Elspode · 04-11-2004, 05:54 PM

Probably the most popular extreme B&D film ever made.

You know why Jesus died on the cross?

Because he forgot the safe word.

I thought it was an atrocious film. Two hours plus of a man being tortured in gory, close up detail. Ick. Gag. Puke.

dar512 · 04-13-2004, 03:01 PM

I found it very moving, even if hard to watch.

mrnoodle · 04-14-2004, 11:22 AM

I was deeply moved. I don't see how anyone would be "converted" by it, though. If you're a Christian, it reminds you of the pain you caused an innocent man by your sin. If you're not a Christian, it's....welll, it's a 3-hour torture session. It's a 3 hour torture session for some Christians as well.

Oh well, let us have our moment. Anti-christians get the rest of the decade.
