#1 Movie - Passion of the Christ
#2 Movie - Hellboy

Before Easter the zombies had the lead.
Do people know that just going to see the movie isn't enough to make you a good christian? And that it doesn't substitute actually going to church and being, er, good? Just asking since it (ie Passion) went back up to #1 for Easter.

Rebeca and John Stamos have gone their separate ways. Yay? Her career is red hot, his is not. Why would they think I care? Okay, I did choose to watch this crap.

Why are all actors so absurdly short (with some Ben Affleck exceptions)?

Van Helsing. Hugh. Wet. *sigh* Sue me, I like seeing him kick ass.

I'm told that the hooker look is the new thing in Hollywood. New?

I'm going to try and do some actual work now.

Hi. I hesitate to debate religion in someone else's journal. Chen, my apologies. We can always go over to mine, if you want to continue discussing it.

I am not an evangelist and never claimed to be one. I don't go out into the world and preach the Gospel. I'm just a homemaker, part-time administrator, mom and wife...and I'm a Christian. I try to be a good one, but I fail miserably on almost a daily basis, I'm certain. I attend my church most Sundays, but I miss more than I like, just because I'm sometimes too tired to make the 30-min. journey.

In the movie, Judas is consumed by guilt because he turned Jesus over to the Romans. Children are not actually turned into the Devil. His guilt (or the Devil, or both...I'm not certain) distorts the children's faces and tortures him, until he is driven to take his own life. That is not turning Jewish children into the Devil, IMO.

As far as casting goes, I do not know how many Jewish actors/actresses and extras were used, do you? Why is that a requirement? I guess I'm not following.

We should probably agree to disagree, because I don't think either one of us is going to change our minds. I saw the film and put myself through the utter agony of it, mostly to support Mel Gibson and his right to make the movie. I don't think the movie would have done as well as it did (is doing) without the outcry from people who feel much like you do.

I didn't really outcry. I'm certainly not protesting it, or telling people not to go.

I'd just much rather see Hellboy.
