#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.

THE END

Mel Gibson has every right to make a movie about things that he feels strongly about, and if anyone wants to see it and takes real inspiration from it, good for them. But I also think that the people who object to things they find objectionable about it have every right to that, as well.

This man let himself be quoted saying he was inspired by the Holy Spirit! Who in the name of Moses is he? Rich? From actor he's gone to bringer of the Word to the masses? Please. He's part of a cult! People are so ignorant, but so very ignorant, that they see it and eat it up. Are there any disclaimers at ALL telling people this is a work of fiction, loosely based on the life of Jesus? Or that Mr. Gibson based his movie on work KNOWN for its anti-semitic bias?

I give up. Really.

The main actor was struck by lightning and the movie now is the gore aficionado flick of choice. It's been called a snuff film (perhaps that's where the whole pornography thing comes from) and I, personally, find that disrespectful. I object to the way the movie has been marketed on how it was made, not to what it talks about.

What's the point... This isn't even about the movie. It's about the right getting a ride on the telly time this movie is getting in an election year.

If nobody else cares and/or sees the horror of it - why waste my bloody time?

For anybody with a brain and willing to actually think? I rec Flavius Josephus, AKA The Jewish Traitor, for some background. No, not an internet search - the book. Read it. Then go on to read about Jewish customs in the first centuries. Political dealings with the Roman occupation. You know, the basic stuff. This assuming the Bible - Old and New Testament are already known and understood. And not the lame translation.

(I thank G'd once again for giving me a father who always encouraged me to think and question and research. This Italian man took me out of Catholic school when the nuns had issues with my inquiring mind. He rocks.)
