"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

*looks around and steps in*

I just want to say this. I went and saw the Passion a few days ago with a group of friends from my church (about nearly 20+ of them ;) ). The drama started immediately, and it was a good thing a few of us brought tissue packs--most of the girls and several of the guys (myself included) ended up crying halfway through.

What we all realized later as we left the movie was that this wasn't a tragedy, an "Oh, so sad that Jesus died 2000 years ago"-style event. It was exactly opposite; it was a victory. I think they ended the movie just perfectly (I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it).

Plus, if you like the movie, the book's even better ;)
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Well, I've heard that the movie actually misses a lot of the emphases that the gospel writers originally intended. I would definitely suggest reading the gospel accounts of the passion of Christ if you see the movie - if only to see the excellent writing that is the basis of the film.

Yeah, my wife and I will probably be like that when we go see it. You should see me during the stations of the Cross on Good Friday. I still have my nails from last year. I expect the movie, with the visual depictions, will be far rougher.

Agreed. Turns out I will probably seeing this on the big screen after all, next Thursday. I'm gonna bring a pillow to hide behind, perhaps... :nervous:

Setekh, it's not that bad. I was quite supprised, I had thought it was going to be worse then it is.

There are a couple jump scene's, but all in all, it's pretty standard torture. Like my dad said, it's not the physical stuff that'll get to you it's the emotional stuff.
I have big plans, now if only I could see them through.

I think that's the way it should be. I think I'd better bring a box of tissues. :yes:

Well, I guess I'm gonna have to see it now too...

Though, anything that includes Mel Gibson is usually top notch.

Have you seen the movie?

No, let me rephrase that. If you haven't seen the movie, shut up.

It's one thing to criticise a movie - even one you haven't seen - based upon reviews and such. But to criticise the reaction of someone who did see the movie is sheer audacity, and shows just how open-minded your vaunted brain really isn't.

So you're saying you've never uttered the words "Dude, what were you smoking? Gigli ****en sucked"?

'Religiously insane' is redundant. It's like saying someone is 'lardily obese'.
