[jeff30997]

Thanks for the laugh.I needed it. :)

[physioex]

7. YW....

:hi:

[PDittie]

2. Is that a porno?

I have too many of those already...

[Deja Q]

3. Yup, I'm getting The Passion tommorow...

:evilgrin:

[smirkymonkey]

35. I just ordered it too!

Also on the DVD is "Red Hot Catholic Love" and "Christian Rock Hard."

[Fenris]

4. Probably not many here, dear.

This was an ugly topic for several months on DU.

[thestatusquo]

5. Ahh i see

I was gone for most of the summer, so i missed alot on DU. Well I don't want to rehash anything..thanks for the update Fenris

[AlFrankenFan]

8. Maybe....but considering I'm a Jew

I'm sure I'd have to go through some kind of screening process.

[thestatusquo]

12. I'm a Jew too, and I'm going to buy it

Mazeltov!

[Placebo]

9. If I want to see torture, blood, horror, and pain...

I'll tune into the RNC tonight.

Oh wait, I will be watching it....


.......



*orders The Passion*

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. and put more money into rnc pockets

yes, ofcourse!!

[jukes]

11. and so,

*you* are buying it?

[thestatusquo]

14. Yes, I thought it was really good, although very hard to watch

because of all the violence obviously

[jukes]

25. gibson

is a homophobe & cultist. he's not making a nickle off of this liberal.

[Mr. Blonde]

29. He is very good at filming violence though

as a film buff I have to respect that.

[jukes]

30. he's not

*completely* w/o talent, just mostly. about like heston or reagan.
i just detest the man for his politics.

[pacalo]

13. After watching "The Passion", be sure to get one of these...

Yes, Mel Gibson has found yet another way to profit off of the radically-religious freaks who have no sense of good taste. Take a look at what else he has to offer: http://www.sharethepassionofthechrist.com/jewelry.asp

[Mr. Blonde]

17. ahh, jesus junk is back

remember the wwjd bracelets. Weren't those cool?

[pacalo]

18. There's nothing wrong with "WWJD" jewelry...

We could all use a little reminder of that. It's just that Dubya is a hypocrite in his religious references, as well as those who can't recognize a loser when they see one & want him to stay in the WH.

[Mr. Blonde]

22. I still find it to be profiting off something that is

supposed to be sacred.

[pacalo]

37. Where the movie's merchandising is concerned, I agree.

I always did like the idea of the WWJD jewelry, though. Odd thing is, before knowing that this concept was already in the mainstream, I thought about having a jeweler engrave it on a bracelet for me, as a reminder to treat others as I'd like to be treated. I'm not a churchgoer, but I do try to be a good person.

[childslibrarian]

15. No

Absolutely not.

[Chovexani]

16. Sorry I already own a copy of Bloodsport (n/t)

[sir_captain]

19. I try not to buy hateful crap n/t

[liontamer]

20. nah

I already read the book

[jeff30997]

42. Hehehe...

[Ilsa]

21. Naaa. I'm not into snuff films. eom

[Deja Q]

23. I thought they were called 'slash', not 'snuff'...

:shrug:

[Mr. Blonde]

24. I have always heard snuff films. n/t.

[LearnedHand]

38. There's a difference

Slash films are the bloody "horror" films like "Friday the 13th." Snuff films are those where someone is murdered on film -- for pretend or for real.

(See "Videodrome" for a CHILLING film about snuff films."

[ikojo]

26. I am buying the Passion.....

The Passion of the JEW....

[Endangered Specie]

27. I think we need another "things not to say during the passion" thread!

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

28. Nope.

Didn't see it in the theater, not gonna rent it, not gonna buy it.

Why would I want to watch a slasher flick about Jesus? I know what happened.

[2Design]

31. NO ...S & M does not appeal to me

[name not needed]

33. Not even this S&M?

:)

[LWolf]

32. No.

There's just nothing about it that appeals to me enough to spend time or money watching it.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

34. Aren't Trey and Matt Libertarians though? So...isn't giving money to them

still giving to the pockets of the right wing? I agree Gibson is homophobic and a cultist, and therefore to buy his movie would be providing aid to causes he believes in. But doesn't buying "Passion of the Jew" also give money to causes that are non-liberal?

[LanternWaste]

36. I think so...

Most likely. If the violence in Saving private Ryan didn't affect my Psyche, I doubt this will. Seems all the protestations about it affected me the same way that they did re: The Last Temptation of Christ, i.e.- it makes me curious to see it.

I'm kinda lucky in the respect that I believe the writer/director/actor/singer/artists politics/religion/orientations are irrelevant to the body of work they produce :)

[UdoKier]

39. No, I'd be much more inclined to see a film about Jesus...

...than a sleazy S&M snuff film about how he was tortured and killed "because of the Jews".


The funny thing about those who blame the Jews for Christ's death -

If they were responsible, shouldn't you be eternally grateful to them? After all, Jesus saved us all up there on the cross. If he hadn't been crucified, the world would still be damned, right?

[jeff30997]

43. The world is still damned...

Especially since the lunatic and his crooked friends stole the election.

[blitzen]

40. Hell no! n/t

[Swamp Rat]

41. No. I don't like pornographic violence.

[jeff30997]

44. It's a stupid movie based on a fairytale directed...

By a crazy homophobic Holocaust revisionist.

[VOX]

45. Absolutely not.It's been politicized into selling one form of Christianity

A rather brutal form at that, and I do not wish to participate in enabling it by spending any money on it.

This movie is the product of a mind that believes physical torment and suffering are equivalent to grace. I reject that notion.

[Connie_Corleone]

46. Yep, sure am.

I love good filmmaking. I may not believe everything in the Passion, but it's just a movie to me. I could care less what other people think about the movie. It's all about me, me, ME!! If it's controversial, it's for me.

I've seen worse violence in horror movies. I'm not a squeamish person.

[Bridget Burke]

47. No.

I never bothered to see it. Can you convince me why I should add it to my Netflix queue?

I've read the book & violence doesn't get me off.

[GOPisEvil]

48. No, I have enough coasters. Thanks for asking though.

:-)

[bikebloke]

49. The product placement is supposed to be annoying

So I'll skip it.
