"The Passion"
 

any of you doo-dads gona see this movie?

probably... it looks very graphic though... I just wanna see what all the fuss is about....

I dunno. Probably not in theaters, but I might give it a rent.

I can't even begin to describe how I feel about this movie . . .perhaps the best term I can give for it is "weirded-out". It's kind of creepy to see the portrayal of Jesus's death, but probably not much more that seeing soldiers getting gunned down in Saving Private Ryan.

This movie has a lot of controversy surrounding it already. I have a feeling that this thread may turn into a religion flame war.

I have a feeling you're right. :roll:

thats why i think its best we discus the movie... not what we believe.

I'll see it when it comes out on DVD.

I've never even heard about this. I'll check it out when it comes out on DVD.

I've never even heard of the movie. I must really live under a rock.

There's not much buzz about this movie out here, but it may be worth a look if I've got a free night and $7.50 that I cannot think to put to better use.

Though on the bright side, the last movie Mel Gibson directed was Braveheart. That alone may make the movie worth a peek.

I tend to go for more realistic, historically based movies. So I'll stick to Jesus Christ SuperStar, thank you.

No, seriously. I will definately see this movie, but I'm not really sure what to expect.

I'll see, it will take a couple of lightyears for the movie to get here, as every other movie too (stupid country). If the reviewers manage to actually review the movie instead of discussing it's religious content, and they end up liking it, I might give it a rent (not too fond of too religious/political movies)

Not interested.

thats why you have mods... ;) I'll keep an eye on this, and if someone comes on and starts trouble, I'll take care of it..

OH! Now I heard of this movie. Yeah, I'll definitely see it.

While I don't have any problems with your beliefs, your statement is lined with controversy and has a lot of flam war potential. So I'm gonna ask for you to resist making such posts.

Its happened several times in the past: religous discussion on these forums ussually turns for the worse, so we try to discourage anything which might cause some angry debating.

ya im gonna see this , because of my beliefs

I'm debating whether or not to see it...

Ditto here.

The movie I'm saving up MY money for, though, would have to be Hugh Jackman's new movie: "Van Helsing"!!! :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

well im deffinatly looking foward to seeing it. im gona watch it opening day. Ill probably go see it again with another friend the next week. i think this movie has potential to be the biggest box office hit ever. for one reason, people are gona want to see it no matter if they are christian or not i think. theres been so much talk about it that it makes you want to go watch it.

I really haven't seen any previews for this on TV. It's kind of ironic, because the controversy and public outcries have really been the only publicity this movie has gotten. Outside of churches, that is. It's amazing how some things end up like that. :wink:

yes i know. it got no comercials or advertizing at all. then its like boom its gona be a box office hit.

Being a catholic and all, yeah, I'll most likely go see it...

and...HOLY COW OLDMANWINTERS IS USING THE AVATAR I MADE FOR THE OFFICIAL SITE HOLY CRAP!

That is a sweeeeeet avatar you made. I'm glad Ninjaturtles.com is so fan-friendly to host all that good stuff.

Mel is going to Cash in big time... this'll be the number one movie for an entire month... that is my prediction. Yes I'm a Christian, and yes I am going to watch it and encourage everyone else to watch it as well (christian or not)...

I heard the movie is going to be in Latin and Hebrew with English subtitles.

It looks interesting, but I'm not going to go out of my way to see it.

Ehh. I might sit down and watch it when it hits the movie channels, but I doubt I'll go out of my way to see it.

I'm not a Christian, so I have little interest in that particular deity. :wink:

I'm definitely interested in seeing this one -- not sure if I'll end up seeing it in theaters or downloading a screener (:evilgrin:) but it sounds like it'll be a fascinating watch. Hey, maybe I'll do both. Or neither -- I was really interested in Monster but never got around to watching that one...

Mars: Van Helsing looks like a great popcorn flick, but I can't see heading out to theaters for it. :) (I'm not the biggest Jackman fan, with me absolutely loathing the X-Men films...) That's definitely one I'll be looking to check out on dvd, though.

By the way, has anyone seen The Last Temptation of Christ with Willem Dafoe? That's another one that looks like an awesome flick but that I haven't had the chance to watch yet. I also hear it's pretty integral to truly comprehending Donnie Darko, which I like a lot...

No, but I have seen Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie.

Ha! Troma! Man, I hate Troma. :lol: One of the upcoming reviews is a short one of Blood Sucking Freaks...my god. Horrible to the max.

I want to see that...

The first movie was pure gold.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Toxic Avenger...

From what I understand, Mel Gibson's intentions with this film are to stay true to both the historical and Biblical details of the final days of Jesus' life.

I plan to watch it, already gots tickets. :) Actually I'm a little apprehensive, this will be a very convicting experience I think.

Go Jesus!!!! :D w00t!!!

BTW guys... the silly "banned" kid keeps talking to me, is it a plea for help?

Well, I have the trailer if anyone wants it. PM me and I'll give it to ya! :D

Yah.. me ish gonna see this too. But whenever I get the time, cause I'm a poor overworked horsie.

Reasons being:
1. My belief
2. I love Mel Gibson's style
3. I have a pretty strong stomach and I can handle violence/blood

hey Im bac

The answer is i proberly will see being christian and all
it wud mean alot sense to me

hope 2 c ya guys

peace out

I'm interested in seeing it, I'll admit, and not just because of Monica Bellucci or the opportunity to blurt something out that would offend a lot of people....

This movie is going be great. I'm so looking forward to it, I almost went to night but couldn't so I'm definitely going to an early Saturday showing. Jesus Christ owns all!

Actually it is in Aramaic and Latin.
