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.

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.

You simply demonstrated that you are capable of rational thought...
And, I was not able to get past the opening of Saving Private Ryan, so I
have not seen it either obviously... During the holidays, my family was
upstairs with the big screen TV and the Sorround Sound shaking the house as
they watched it... I went out to the shop and tinkered with the RV7...
Actually, I'm not big on cinema fantasy in any event... I think the last
movie I watched in it's entirety was when the original Star Wars screened,
so as usual I am the odd man out - though I did manage almost half of Batman
recently, before I got bored and wandered downstairs to watch the cat chase
her tail...

Hold it -- wait a minute!

The big news in this otherwise totally off-topic thread is: Denny's building
an RV7?

How long you been at it?

For me it's strictly escapist stuff. Sci-fi, fantasy, and wellll...
some documentaries. I've never even seen a so called "reality show"
and rarely even bother to turn on the local network affiliates.

That's what this country has turned into. Unspeakable violence gets an
R-rating, but one flash of frontal nudity merits an immediate NC-17.
With all this talk about "desensitizing" kids to violence, which one
would you rather have then see as a teenager?


Here's a clip from the last paragraph of Roger Ebert's review of
/Passion/ :

==
Note: I said the film is the most violent I have ever seen. It will
probably be the most violent you have ever seen. This is not a
criticism but an observation; the film is unsuitable for younger
viewers, but works powerfully for those who can endure it. The MPAA's R
rating is definitive proof that the organization either will never give
the NC-17 rating for violence alone, or was intimidated by the subject
matter. If it had been anyone other than Jesus up on that cross, I have
a feeling that NC-17 would have been automatic.

Interesting.
