    I hope there will be a sequel or atleast a prequel. I could see it now, Passion II-and I bet people would flock in groves just to see it.

    The filmmaker has been hinting that he may go back to the biblical period, if not the Bible itself.

    Speculation centers on two heroic Jewish struggles that bracket the historical time frame of the filmmaker's current biblical blockbuster.

    If the rumors are true, Gibson's next move could be a stroke of genius, at once disarming Jewish critics of The Passion and providing an ideal dramatic vehicle.
    Abraham Foxman, executive director of the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League, says, "The way he treats history, with a cherry picker of that which fits his ideology or view, is not the way I would like the world to learn about the heroism of the Maccabees or Bar Kochba. So, thanks but no thanks."

    My church has booked a local 400 seat cinema to see the Passion.

    6pm March 26th.

    Seats are £4 instead of £5.20

    Asked to bring someone to see it

    If you can't afford to pay, it will be free.

    Isn't it interesting that the Hollywood elite (an interesting oxy-moron) are planning on black balling Mel Gibson? Aren't these the same people that bitched and whined about Sen. Joe McCarthy and the HUAC black lists? Interesting, that indeed perhaps David Limbaugh has a point in his book titled Persecuted.

    I'd rather see Kill Bill Vol.2.

    But of course that film will be slated by the xtian press as being too violent.
