I just bought it from Walmart. Kinda funny, they asked me for my ID, even though I'm clearly not 18. Or.. is it not that clear? Oh well. Anyhow, I went and got my dad, and he came over, and they wouldn't accept the money from me (I had to hand it off to my dad first, weird), but thats beside the point.

This movie was pretty good, but it's almost more of a horror film then a gospel film. It was pretty gruesome, especially SPOILER WARNING when they started whipping him with the glass pieces, and then jabbed the crown of thorns on his head. Regardless, it was a pretty powerful portrayal (say that five times fast) of how much he suffered for us, though, so it was still good. =)

WOW YOU'RE LATE. Anyhow it was more like "the beating of christ" than any passion.

I saw about five minutes of it in Church, the whipping scene, but we stopped shortly after Natasha ended up in a ball on the floor crying.

And is resurrected looking like he was never hit once, except that he has holes (which aren't bleeding) in his hands still.

Joe, honstally, who doesn't know what happened in the story of christ? I don't think any "Spoiler warnings" are needed..

It is quite dumb how churches took people to see this movie, but won't do it for like, House of 1000 corpses, or Hostel.

They are all the same.

No, not at all. This is a very accurate reenactment of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, which is an actual, documented, historical event. It's not one that is arguably make-believe like most of the ones in the Old Testament. Hostel and House of 1000 Corpses are made to be gruesome to gross people out, not to tell a story.

Super_X · « **Reply #12 on:** January 18, 2006, 10:42:06 pm »

Rats! I wanted to piss off Joe!!

I heard some christans say that Dinosaurs arn't real, because they arn't in the bible, With that mantality, I can say since Jesus' story wasn't in Fight Club, (LotR, in Joe's case.) it didn't happen.

Newby · « **Reply #13 on:** January 18, 2006, 10:43:32 pm »

IIRC Hostel was real. Kids in my P.E. class were talking about how this was based off some event(s) that took place in Russia/Amsterdam or something.

Joe · « **Reply #14 on:** January 18, 2006, 10:46:48 pm »

Heh, if I thought LotR actually happened, would I have taken time out of my life to learn Noldorin and Khazdul?

I highly doubt the motivation of the people who choose to watch it is based on the fact it is revolved around a true story. I doubt many of them even know it is. Plus, that kind of sounds fictitious to me. That kind of torture happens all the time, but it's nothing that affected the world such that Jesus' crucifixion did.

Have you heard that Texas Chainsaw Massacre was real, too? That's a popular selling point to scare people.

Someone who interviewed the original director personally told me in a conversation about these marketing ploys that the director had a dream that had a tangent to the story of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, so he decided that it was real enough to use that as a tagline to scare little children.

No, it's not real. Yes, you're in high school P.E. class.

I think it should be labeled (if used as advertising) as "false advertising".

ANYWAYS, Jesus' story = real
Hostel = porn so I need to go see it
Texas Chainsaw = AS I RECALL READING slightly sorta based off some dude in Michigan who was mentally distrubed & killed people w/an axe & kept them or something...that would have to be looked into more though

I still havent seen passion of the Christ, gore isnt fun I dont think

In reference to the whole Texas Chainsaw Massacre, there really was a guy with that physical disability, who did live in Texas, and did have a small killing spree. I have no proof, but I do recall hearing about it on the news some time around the latest release. Also, my dad recalls hearing about it in the news quite a few years back. I guess you guys are just going to have to trust me... or crucify me.... The Passion of the Muffin.

He impales them on his teeth, then sends them to a pit full of acid. Between four to twenty-four hours later, he takes them swimming, where depending on whether he lives in a rural area, they are transported to a large tube with green flowish stuff, or a big tank full of smelly brown stuff, where they rot.

In short, yes.

Well, John the Muffin Man comes to the sewer / septic tank, with Executor Sidoh's permission of course, and gets your broken remains, and puts them in a cave. Three days later, your mother.. er.. baker comes to 'check on you', and finds you rebaked. Then you ascend into heaven, as the perfect muffin.

You mean when Peter denied Jesus three times, the cock crowed (actually, I didn't hear that..), and then they flashed back to earlier that day (or a few days ago) when Jesus told him that Peter would deny him three times?

When King Herod put on his wig, and looked like a girl (and talked like one too)?

When you find out that Satan is played by a girl? (kek)
