Taphophilia Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I thought that was funny Dianka. My fundy ex sister in law, bent on getting my kids "saved" took my kids to see the movie without telling me or asking me. I didn't want my kids to see the movie. What I thought was even worse is that she took her little boys to see it who were three and two. What the hell kind of mother takes their kids, who are not much older than babies, to see a violent, bloody movie like that? Taph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dianka Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 What was funny about Taph's post? Edit: My post would make sense if Dianka hadn't edited out her entire initial response. I was slow, with my response, you were slow with yours. Let's face it, we're both slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell kind of mother takes their kids, who are not much older than babies, to see a violent, bloody movie like that? I always kind of wondered that, too. I mean there is severe torture, a murder scene, lots of screaming and contorted expressions connoting the worst kind of suffering; imagine what a little child would think watching that.

Merlinfmct87 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Oh, you mean Jesus Chainsaw Massacre? I liked the blood-n-guts theme they had going; thats how I like my gore flicks. I got turned on when Jesus Fucking Vorhees killed the snake in the garden and blew the wad when the blood started sprayin. Kill em all, KILL KILL KILL MOTHERFUCKERZ AND GIMME A DOUBLE-QUARTER POUNDER TURBOSIZE TO GO ARRRGH!#@%* NO CARRIER His modem(and his socks) were raptured by the Invisible Pink Unicorn. Glory. I saw Return of the King again with my mum in protest(I saw it before with my father). The theater we saw it in had quite a few others doing much the same. :-D Maochistic gay snuff porn just doesn't appeal to me, savvy? Merlin Yes, Aragorn makes a better king than Jesus. LOTR makes a much better Bible than the Xian Book O' Lies (I know if I have kids they will get Tolkien stories at night), and ROTK was doubtlessly a much better film than the Passion, though I never saw the Passion. I used to want to, but everytime I was ready to see it, *poof*, out of the theaters. Lucky coincidence, perhaps; I was at a ripe moment for some hardcore Xian propaganda to keep me in the cult I was on the verge of leaving. Oh well, now I'll likely never see it; there are better movies out there. Far, far better. Hell, Wallace and Gromit was more thought out, I'm guessing. At least it was funnier. I watched that movie thinking of all the shit they didn't do. One of the books in my library is The Book of Execution: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/074724581...glance&n=283155 There are a lot of creative ways to make someone's death horrible, slow, and gruesome. There are methods described in this book that make the crucifixion look like a birthday party (no joke). And these were usually methods that were approved of by the judiciary bodies where they took place. So since there are people in history who HAVE suffered GREATER than the supposed son O' god.......how can it be that the suffering Jesus endured was sufficient to wash all the sins of humanity present and future? Mere mortals have endured worse! And THIS! THIS is something I've come across in my own thinking time and time and time again. Coming from a guy who has stabbed himself quite deep in the hand, it's nothing. I mean, sure, it stung a nice bit, and I did bandage it up, but four deep stabs for all the suffering of humanity? Please. That doesn't even cover one skirmish in a war... I'd like to see him own up for an amputation without a sedative or anisthetic. *shudder* I haven't seen the movie and I don't want to. My fundy ex-sister in law (my ex's sister) took my kids to see it when it first came out, without asking me. My kids came home from a weekend visit traumatised by the movie. I was pissed. Taph Yeah, sisters can be real bitches about that, can't they? I'd be homicidal. At least they had a loving mother to come home to. Merlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnosis of Disbelief Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Nope, never saw the movie, never intend to. I don't like christian propaganda movies, I don't like blood and gore, and I'm not really a big Mel Gibson fan. So, I have no reason to get anywhere near it. I do like some of the commentary in this thread though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astreja Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I doubt that I'll ever watch the movie. Snuff films are not my cup o'tea. I did accidentally see one or two seconds (very nasty stuff) when it was playing in the TV/VCR section of a local department store. Marched over to Customer Service and wrote out a formal complaint... Totally inappropriate material for an area that families and their kids were walking through.

Guest bdp Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 My brother and sister-in-law go to an uber church here and don't know that I'm an ex - they were all gung ho when 'Passion..' came out and were puzzled to the point of concern about my indifference to it. I have no intention of ever seeing it. bdp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necrosmith Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Not gonna see it. I'm generally against violent torture and as such won't pay money to see a movie glorifying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-COG Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I saw it on DVD, and was not impressed. I don't think I would have liked it even when I was a Christian as it was too bloody, included details that were not Biblical, and had specifically Catholic undertones. I heard through the grapevine that my former pastor was recommending it to the congregation. Probably hoping for a revival of some sort. I think it would be so great if they would aired the movie, and afterwards let Penn and Teller do a commentary No, no, have Penn and Teller do a commentary during the film, a la "Mystery Science Theater". I think that would be a fun activity! Scene: Jesus is being beaten by the guards. He glances up after every lash and through his teeth, clenched with pain, croaks "Thank you sir, may I have another?"

All Gods Fail Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I didn't bother seeing it - I read the book. Personally, I wouldn't recommend either one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I remember when it first came out to the theaters..... there were churches all over this city gathering youth groups by the bus load, to take them to see it. I just do not understand this at all. Christians tried to ban Harry Potter, because of its influence on kids, but would drag kids of all ages to see the display of violence and gore???

Japedo Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I made a definitive decision NOT to go see this movie and have still refused to even rent it. I'm curious, but I hate Xianity so much right now I just don't want to give a thin red cent to their cause If I can help it. How many of you have actually seen it and is it worth the two hours and change to view? Should I bother? Or should I continue my boycott of all things Xian? Oh damn...I DID take my kids to see Narnia... I didn't and wont see it. From what I heard it was as close to a Hollywood snuff film as one could get. I dunno how true that is. Narnia is adopted by the xtians for who knows what reason.. It's not a Xtian film. It has magic spells, talking animals, secret worlds.. how's it different from Harry Potter again?

That is what I am talking about... they ban one but embrace the other when they both equal to about the same thing. UGH I will never understand them. It reminds me of this one church I attended when I first "got saved". They were trying to ban disneyworld because homosexuals worked there....(stupid reason to ban anything IMO) But anyway, they would have functions at this one resturant that was owned and operated by a homosexual couple????

It has magic spells, talking animals, secret worlds.. how's it different from Harry Potter again? I'd love to see Narnia, but I never read the books. Fantasy movies with wizards and warriors and women are always good (there's got to be at least one babe in the film). They do the same thing with Lord of the Rings, also. Big deal, so Tolkien was a Catholic - his story is very un-Catholic. I'm sorry, a story where the good guys use magic, don't have Xian rituals, and there is no Jeezus is not a good Xian story. It's no different than Harry Potter or Narnia in that regard. The fact Tolkien was a Catholic and therefore Xian is the only thing they have with which to try and steal one of the greatest works of all time (in my mind, the greatest) and use it to further their own cult. Absolutely disgusting. Even as a Xian, I noticed that contradiction, but didn't think too much on it because I loved LOTR and didn't want to have to end up opposing it just because Biblegodzilla says magic is bad. LOTR is more of a heathen and rationalist story than it is a Xian one. After all, it's about various freedom-loving peoples fighting against a one-world tyrant who would rule all the earth if he could, as a despot. There's nothing in LOTR about living for a afterlife floating on the clouds and playing harps, kissing some god's ass. Even though Eru and the Valar do have some Xian parallels, that's where it ends. LOTR is all about living in the here and now and making this life a better one because this is all you have. I hate it when Xian fruitjobs try to steal things that are not theirs; isn't theft a sin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouroboros Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I have to admit something. I took my two oldest sons to see that movie at the theaters, and we bought popcorn and soda, and sat there and chewed away. Until we realized that people around us were crying and stuff, so I felt a bit the odd-out person there, so we put down our popcorn and soda in fear that someone might start a mob if we continued... I just didn't feel like being the lunch for a lynching gang! But man, was that a gross movie or what? Chainsaw massacre x 100! And the same people sitting there crying, would go home and turn on the V-chip so the kids can't see Bugs Bunny because it's too violent. Huh. Go figure.

Lycorth Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 that's great, eating popcorn and drinking soda during the Passion. Almost makes me want to go if it gets re-released again; I like to sit in the very front row and unload all my smuggled goodies, like beef jerky and cans of soda. I'd crack open a can when the Last Supper scene played. "This is my blood..." *crack-fizzz* Bottoms up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
