Whew!

Just visited "alt.religion" for the first time (after taking the kids to see
"The Passion of the Christ" this evening. Tip of the Day: Don't waste your
money -- we ended up walking out mid-way through. This movie makes
"Scarface" look like a Disney flick...), and what a bizarre walk on the Dark
Side THAT was!

After ten minutes of lurking in that group, I started to feel unclean and
began pining for "home" amongst you guys and gals.

Man, their fights make ours look like the polite discussions they really
are... Thank you, all, for being voices of sanity amongst the rabble.

Doze people over dere be CRAZY!

The Passion of the Christ: Blooper Reel

Was that a parody or was it supposed to be 'authentic'?

If it was a parody, it was kind of funny.

If it was supposed to be 'real', then they forgot one minor detail in their
fabrication; there was no english being spoken during the entire movie, so
the humorous banter regarding dialog and such would not have occoured.

Religious nut stuff.

Was that a parody or was it supposed to be 'authentic'?

I think it was a parody. Funny, but just as weird as the movies itself.

The movie is quite disturbing, IMHO. It takes a lot to make me ill, and I
can't remember the last movie I walked out of before the end -- but this
movie managed to get me to do both. Why it isn't rated NC-17, I have no
clue.

I've never seen sustained, graphic violence depicted to that degree in any
movie. Hell, "Saving Private Ryan" with all of the violence of D-Day and
the subsequent battles, was NOTHING compared to this movie.

I'm worried about what our society has become that this movie is a "hit"...

Because in the USA, breasts are bad (or even one breast) and blood is good.

(after taking the kids to see
"The Passion of the Christ" this evening.

The (high-school) kids think the movie is "cool." They all went to see
it. It's a test of manhood (boyhood, anyhow).

"Passion" was the only occasion in which I have found the Wall Street
Journal and The New Yorker in total agreement. (Like you, they said:
don't bother.)

There's an argument going on in rec.music.opera about the Latin used
by Gibson's crew. Evidently it's modern (Catholic) church Latin,
rather than the classical Latin taught in schools (when it was taught
in schools). Both evidently are wrong for the outlier parts of the
Roman empire 2000 years ago. Something more like modern Italian or
Rumanian would have been more suitable.

Give Gibson credit for stirring up a debate among Latin scholars

You should have known better than to take your kids. It's not like the
graphic violence has been kept a secret in the press.
