I am not intending to validate religion with this post, but merely to advise that the existence of this person whom the movie depicts is most likely true, and that there was controversy surrounding him which eventually led to his crucifixion. Disgregarding the debate over deity, at least a portion of the movie could be based on historical fact, could it not?

A lot of ppl were crucified.

Heh, its really tasteless of you (those coming into a christ thread and calling it a fairy tale) to mock someones religion like that, I think if you dont believe in it, its your decision. However you should have some kind of respect for peoples beliefs, because religion bashing is just not funny whatsoever. Im not just saying that for christianity, but also for the other religions out there. If have any kind of decency, you should already know not to cross that line.

As for the film, hmmm I think I'll wait a week before going to see it, cuz I really hate crowded theatres... cuz I remember opening night for matrix revolutions. people were yelling and making jokes during the movie, and I didnt pay for an IMAX ticket to hear someone elses big mouth.

This is true, but it doesn't mean he wasn't one of them. Again, no religious implications - only acknowledging that he may really have existed in some sense as portrayed in the movie. Not discussing deity here - just history. The link I posted is pretty good.

I will probably see it within the next week. I'll let ya'll know when I do. smile

I would say the average age difference between POTC and The Matrix is going to be about 15 years. Teeny-boppers and people in their 20's saw The Matrix and that explains that. POTC is going to have a lot of people age 30 and much older and therefore much more mature.
Unless you live in a town full of idiots then the rest of the audience is not going to stand for people yelling and making jokes during POTC.

I seriously doubt it. In fact, that was a very insulting remark.

Tasteless.

Oh yeah, if we're doing this little abbreviation deal, just called "Passion of the Christ", "Passion". "POTC" is widely used for "Pirates of the Carribean".

Jews are all flaring up about not putting this movie out on the big screen, its making me mad, of course its STILL going to be put into theaters, but cmon..its a movie..You believe what YOU want to believe..and I/everyone else will believe what we want to, and even if this movie sounds offensive to ppl who dont believe in the story of christ this way, it cant change your beliefs, but Im going to see it definatly, its gonna be great.

So far I've only heard two negative reviews out of about 20 people they've interviewed on tv coming out of the theater. I'm still not sure when we are going.

The only complaint that seems valid is that there is an excesive amount of gore. But this will be no problem for me.

If anyone does see it, don't post what happens so you won't ruin the ending for everyone.

Yes, I know, and I don't know if you remember some of my posts in the horror forum, BF, but I'm not big on gore. I'll probably be looking away from the screen more than at it. sad I still feel that the movie is important enough concerning my beliefs that I will go see it.
