[trumad]

[NoPasaran]

1. Damn!

I knew it!

[JaySherman]

2. *GASP*

:wow:

Are they bringing him back in the sequel?

[Care Bear]

3. Apparently around Easter sometime.

[JaySherman]

5. LMAO!

Good one.

[unblock]

4. but, do they find spock?

[Forkboy]

6. Let's face it,the only crucifiction scene worth a damn

was in Monty Python's The Life of Brian.

"Always look on the bright side of life..."

[SCDem]

21. "Life's a piece of shit when you think of it"

Love the crucifiction scene

[Forkboy]

23. lol

I need to watch it again now.It's been years.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

46. Crucifixion? One cross each, line on the right. But I am to be set

free.
Free? Well, right then, off you go.
Oh ho, just kidding, crucifixion for me too.

[DS1]

7. He punches codes into his wrist device and sets off a Nuke

creating a convenient landing zone for Ahnold's rescue chopper in the middle of the jungle! wait... wrong movie

[matcom]

8. Mr Orange?

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[joeybee12]

9. Who dies? Mel Gibson? Now THAT I'd pay to see!

[Kamika]

10. heh

that joke is so old :P

[YellowRubberDuckie]

Duckie

[Kamika]

35. thanks

:D

[BruinAlum]

11. Noooooooooo!

:wow:

[WoodrowFan]

12. He got better (NT)

[joeybee12]

14. Nah, you only get better when some witch turns you into a newt!

[OneBlueSky]

13. yeah, but only temporarily . . .

at least that's how it's supposed to be . . .

[trumad]

15. Yah

that will be Mel's sequel....

[Norquist Nemesis]

16. You warned me

and I still peeked. ROFL

[Mobius]

17. I had hoped to avoid that joke.

making fun of the death of Jesus , is not something I will do. I was a Christian for many years, but not any longer. Making fun of a religious icon of billions of people to spite Mel Gibson, is just tasteless.

[truthspeaker]

18. it's just a joke

It's not making fun of a religious icon. If some people get so emotionally invested in a historical figure that they can't take a harmless joke then the problem lies with them, not the joke teller.

[Mobius]

19. so I have a problem becauase I don't want to make fun of Jesus?

Im not that "emotionally invested", I just think it's tasteless.

[murielm99]

20. Hey, I agree with you. I am a Christian, but I have an observation,

anyway.

I remember the rock opera, "Jesus Christ Superstar." I really liked it. But alot of the fundies shit their pants cuz it ended with the crucifixion. They said it was not "Christian" because it stopped there, and did not show the resurrection.

I think this is actually a pretty good point. Doesn't Gibson's movie stop short of the crucifixion?

The whole point for Christians is the resurrection: He is the living Christ, who died for our sins. Easter should be the big holiday, not Christmas.

I have not seen this movie, and I have no desire to do so. But doesn't it stop short of resurrection?

[truthspeaker]

22. I don't know, but doesn't the Gospel of Matthew end before resurrection?

I thought they went into the tomb and it was empty, but there was no resurrection in Matthew, the earliest Gospel.

[murielm99]

25. The movie does not rely on one Gospel only,

but sort of condenses and mashes them together. If Gibson had said it was based only one one Gospel, it would make a difference. But then, the film would not be getting all this attention.

[Liberal Christian]

28. It's Mark

There is no resurrection appearance in Mark. There is also no birth narrative in Mark.

There is no birth narrative in John, either.

Matthew, Luke, and John have resurrection appearances. Paul also speaks of having seen the resurrected Christ.

[supernova]

24. Mel's all about the pain

Doesn't Gibson's movie stop short of the crucifixion?

The entire movie is one, long, bloody march to Golgotha. The wedding at Canaa? The Sermon on the Mount? Fuggeddaboutit.

One reviewer called it "crucifixion porn." :P

[Solomon]

45. That'd be about right. Pain pain de pain ditty pain. In more ways than

you can imagine. I just came from seeing it. Just when you think they couldn't possibly do something else to the poor guy, then
WHAM! do something else to him. It's gross, and I wonder if it will ultimately open people's eyes up to how ridiculous the story is from this point of view. Which undoubtedly, is sufferng, pain, suffering and pain.

It's gross. If I could place bets on the numbers of people who could not watch every frame of the film, I would, and make a fortune.

[trumad]

26. Mobius

Did he die or not? Dude...You really, really need to lighten up...

[chiburb]

27. Couldn't agree more, TOTALLY tasteless...

But funny. Stop reading here if you're offended because...

Q. What did the soldier say to Christ when he was on the cross?

A. Cross your legs. We only have one nail left.

[Forkboy]

30. OMG

:D

[ironflange]

36. Aw crap!

You made me spray Dr Pepper all over my screen!

[ronnykmarshall]

59. I got one! Tacky ...don't read if you're gonna get pissed.

Moses and Jesus are hanging out one day. After they slammed back a couple o' brews, Jesus turns to Moses. "Yo, Mo you think you can still do that partin' the water deal?" Moses shrugs and says "I dunno. Should I give it a try?" "Go for it!" Jesus tells his friend.

Moses walks up the sea and raises his arms and sea parts!

"Woooo HOOOO! Look at that! I'm the MAN!" Moses boasts. "OK, pal your turn. Do that walk on water thing." Moses challenges Jesus.

Jesus headed to the water and began to walk. He gets about 10 feet away from the shore and all is looking good. Jesus turns to Moses and flashes a big smile. Back on the shore, Moses gives him the "thumbs up"! Suddenly, Jesus sinks right to the bottom.

Shocked, Jesus swims back to shore. Moses helps his buddy out of the sea and sat down with him in the sand.

"Jeeze, Jesus. What happened?" Moses asked

"I don't know, Moze. I was walking along just like before. Every thing was goin' good and then BLAM! I sunk right to the bottom. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?!" a puzzled Jesus exclaimed.

The old friends sat for a while wondering what when wrong.

"Oh my DAD!" Jesus shouted slapping his hand to his forehead. "The nail holes."

[truthspeaker]

31. How is it making fun of Jesus?

[LynneSin]

37. We're making fun of Mel Gibson

As someone who believes in Christ, I would think that if Jesus were here today, he'd be hanging out with us and mocking Mel Gibson as much as we do!!

[chiburb]

41. Or at least starting sex threads with MagicRat...n/t

.

[LynneSin]

47. I think Jesus would be mocking Magic Rat

:shrug:

[lazarus]

53. But would Jesus

Think that Robb's a dingbat?

[Mobius]

52. Mocking Mel Gibson, I don't mind.

But for those of you who are Christians who are mocking Jesus, I'm pretty sure that you are gonna get a one way ticket to Hell :evilfrown:

[blondeatlast]

55. I think He would enjoy it, actually. Look at what He's had to deal

with for 2000 years, and He hasn't quit in disgust yet.

I expect He has an awesome sense of humor (I hear He avoids Sam Kinison if at all possible, but laughs it up with Lenny Bruce on a regular basis).

As a Christian, I've always believed Christ kinda liked the "man" part of His life. I sometimes think He may miss it on occasion...

[underpants]

29. I thought the book was better

[blondeatlast]

57. You read "The Dolorous Passion of Jesus Christ?"

It's been OP for about 20 years, but is heading for an impressive reprint run of 50,000. Not bad for the hallucenogenic ravings of a wacko, anti-Semitic nun.

Seriously, I hear in the a-s department, the movie has NOTHING on the book.

Couldn't resist--I'm a librarian who's been in the book biz in various forms for 20 years...

[skippysmom]

32. Jeez..

First someone ruins Titanic for me by telling me the ship sinks...now this.

[LynneSin]

34. Kinda like how we knew the boat sank in Titantic

:shrug:

[screwfacecapone]

38. cripes!

I was kinda hoping he didn't die.

[Armand]

39. Damnit...you spoiled it for me.

:cry:

[BigMcLargehuge]

40. I hear he's supposed to come back in the sequel

but I don't know how they manage it with him being dead and all.

Also, what does "Peter, I can see your house from here" sound like in Aramaic?

[ComerPerro]

43. Yeah, it will take some creative writing for him to come back in the

sequel.

But those writers are creative.

[SOteric]

42. Yeah, I read the book and they went over that, like 4 different times.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

48. LOL

LOL

[blondeatlast]

58. HAH! ROFLMAO!

Tears, tears, I tell ya!

[LostInAnomie]

44. DVD alternate ending

I heard he jumps off of the cross, puts on a red suit, and flys off in a reindeer pulled sleigh.

[Love Bug]

49. Dude, you are so going to hell for that one!

:evilgrin:

[RandomUser]

50. That's impossible

Then they'd have to hire someone else for the sequel. LOL.

[bleedingheart]

51. G*d Damnit! Now you went and ruined it for me!!!!!

:evilgrin:

[blondeatlast]

54. And that's it???

:evilgrin:

Where's the big Hollywood ending? Saving it for the straight-to-video sequel, I suppose...

[LuLu550]

56. I KNEW I shouldn't hav clicked on this thread!

Why bother seeing it now?
