Haven't seen it yet.
Gibson didn't want to show his respect and idolization for Jesus like he claims, all he wanted to do was to make money.

I really hate that comment. Anyone with a third grade education should be able to read subtitles and not complain. 99% of the time, it's just people being lazy.
As for the movie, I haven't seen it yet, cause I'm poor and unemployed. I'm waiting to see if it hits the local Dollar Theatre!

Ares had this to say about John Romero:
Making money off of the brutality unleashed upon a religious figure is wrong. Everyone knows what happend, if they don't and were interested they could read the New Testament.Gibson didn't want to show his respect and idolization for Jesus like he claims, all he wanted to do was to make money.
Yes, I'm sure money is the motivating factor behind an idea that entire nations were in an uproar about, and the Pope himself had to view the script and synopsis before the church would even *allow* Gibson to make the movie.
Yep... all that trouble just for money. Yep.
>:(
As for me: read the book, didn't like it. I feel no great need to see it to increase my understanding of a religion to which I don't subscribe in the first place.

I'm with KaL here. I HIGHLY doubt he would have gone through all this trouble just for the profits...he could have made a run of the mill action film and likely raked in the Benjamins.
I've done alot of reading up, and I honestly do believe Mel wanted to try to reach the non-Christians out there with this movie. Unless he has absolutely lied about his life in the past and how he came to his current faith/what his current faith is, I'm pretty damn sure this wasn't a money grab for him.
Me, I haven't seen it yet, though I plan to.

How about this:
Lady D wasn't asking necessarily for opinions on the content of the movie as a whole. She wanted opinions on anything you think of the movie. Why do you plan to go see it, why don't you plan to go see it, stuff like that. She wasn't asking for a review of the movie.
I personally felt my last statement was clearer.
Cause.. I just don't care.

I dunno, thats just me. But I still want to see it
It was pure crap. Subtitles? WTF this is the year 2004, I shouldn't have to read my movies. Even if it had english audio, it still would have sucked.
A crappy story makes a crappy movie.
I swear 80% of the people were crying and 'emotionlly distrought' as they were walking out of the theater. Such bullshit, it was just a fuckin movie.

Wow. That was the most ignorant thing I've ever seen in a while. A crappy story indeed you say? Im sure had you said this else where you would have gotten a tongue lashing by relgious group of sorts. One should not argue against the largest dogma in church history.

Ignorance, you will find, is a surefire way to get attention.

Lechium still thinks SARS jokes are topical, as evidenced by:

I looked outside, because I all of sudden it got really really dark, and I thought there was an eclipse or a power outage...
...but it was just the shadow of the gigantic appeal to belief fallacy you just perpetrated. Just because a dogma is widely held as true does not make it immune to criticism, but more than that, it does not automatically make it true. Now, don't get me wrong: ol' Kirane here's probably just ragin' against the machine because he had to go watch a movie he didn't want to see in the first place and thus is not qualified to make an intelligent criticism. To say, however, that one should accept the dogma of others simply because it's popular is bullshit, plain and simple.

To ridicule people for being moved by the story of a man's suffering. Not just to say "It's a movie" but to RIDICULE and make fun of people for crying or being moved? That's a fucking DISGRACE.
God damnit. You're pathetic.

What he said.
As for the movie itself, not Christian, so no real desire to see the movie.
Also, from what I've heard, it sounds like the whole anti-semitic angle is being blown out of proportion.
Yes, the Jewish authorities of the day wished to get rid of Christ, but it was because he was becoming a political thorn to their power base. It just happened that the person they had a problem with became deified by a large group of worshipers (or, if you are a christian, deified by god).

For some reason I've always blended him together with Kirane personality wise. There's no real reason for it. Either way, Kirane earned the hate here. So, I must apologize for my... inexplicable slip up.

1. One of the very few movies around that are better than the book.
2. Anyone bitching about having to read subtitles is an idiot.

Meh sold the firebird awile back. Tranny wasn't acting exactly right. Bought a 02 Merecdes ML430 at an auto auction for pretty cheap, reselling it now.
