I was going to watch "The Passion of Christ".

[trof]

Then I saw that it was all subtitles.
meh
I can't be bothered.

1. Found a new "Naked and Afraid" instead.

16. Appropriate

What I heard about that Passion movie makes me feel naked and afraid to watch it.

But I also avoid subtitled movies unless I'm sitting down to focus entirely on the movie. Mostly, I'm listening to the TV in the background while I'm on DU.

2. He dies in the end

Sorry if this spoiled it for anyone.

[trof]

3. Oh crap.

[mackerel]

8. I thought he came back and got some sort of do-over?

[caraher]

13. A re-boot?

[Manifestor_of_Light]

4. Why?

Torture porn, that's all. With sanctimonious words around it.

5. I watched it and it's brutal

I'll never watch it again

6. I dunno, watching Mel Gibson get the crap beat out of him can be satisfying. nt

[johnnysad]

7. hehe

[jmowreader]

9. Except it's not Mel Gibson who got beat up

Jim Cavieziel played Jesus in Mel's Snuff Flick.

11. Don't harsh my buzz.

12. You'll want to watch Braveheart then.

"Ffffffrrrrreeeeedom!"

Extra credit for taking a drink for every anachronism. You should be holding on to the floor within a half hour.

15. Too much of a good thing! nt

[fizzgig]

10. just don't say any of these

"Why is he white?"

"Holy sh*t!!"

"I thought Lennon was shot"

"Drop that thing and RUN Jesus!"

"I thought Mary was his mother not his wife"

"Jesus f______ CHRIST!!!!!"

"They stole this whipping thing from 'Roots' "

"He's a hippie!!!"

"When is the part where he wears the flightsuit?"

"This reminds me of 'Kill Bill'"

"pssssst how do you think he is going to get out of THIS spot?"

14. GIBSON's Apocalypto is a masterpiece, also subtitles but mostly non-verbal.

A much more human story with the torture and horror as the backdrop to run away from, not the frontdrop.

TPotC is just the totally trite story we've heard all our lives with the added (R?) rated physical mayhem that with our callused eyeball condition is just ho-hum by now.


*****One of O'LOOFAH's many ironies of self-delusion was from back then with the hullabaloo over TPotC. O'LOOFAH dismissed it saying there was nothing unfamiliar to him who had been imbued/indoctrinated with Catholic orthodoxy in Catholic schools and nuns. The irony being that he is now cashing in with another re-tread of "killing jesus".

17. I just make up my own dialogue for it
