: and it doesnt mean i didnt already say it as well, earlier in this thread...didnt notice?
No, didn't, sorry.
: did anyone here say the movie was shite? that they wouldnt be seeing it? that it was offfensive? did anyone prejudge it? i think we are just takin' the piss out of the poster, mate.
Mmm...well, I don't get why it's necessary to make fun of something as serious as this movie.
Actually, I find this exchange funny - I feel like I should be arguing your side and you should be arguing mine. You're obviously a Christian and I'm not, really. More of a deist without specific dogmatic beliefs. But a lot of people believe that Christ was literally the son of God - including the host of this website. So I thought the idea of ripping on the Passion here was in poor taste.
Anyway, no biggee. We both had our say; and overall, I'd think Gibson would be pleased by the attention to his project.
