Yerusalyim, you got my curiosity up about "anecdotal evidence suggests that ANYONE who plays Jesus has problems".
Is this just one of those unlucky roles for actors? What have you heard?

54OK, I actually Saw the Passion
by Yerusalyim injust came home from seeing...the passion...after the movie there was a question and answer session with two rabbis that viewed it with us...and three priests from my parish...more on that at another time...though both rabbis said in their opinion the movie is not antisemetic, but that it could (would) stir up antisemetic feelings in those who already possessed them.. the movie was an overall good one.
it was interesting trying to figure out some of the symbolism...what did the baby represent???
i think i know, but i'd like to hear mel's take on it.. pretty gory stuff, not quite what i thought it would be, but still quite yucky.

Pastor apologizes for church sign saying Jews killed Jesus Pastor Maurice Gordon is so sorry that he said so on the marquee outside his Lovingway United Pentecostal Church on South Colorado Boulevard.
"I am deeply sorry for offending the Jewish people whom I love," the sign now says.

What else can you do? You could be honest if you get recognized and tell them that you have no explaination other than that you just "froze up".
Keep your chin up, Scooby .

Next time they come around, offer them something cool to drink.
If you are recognized, you could explain that your evil twin was house-sitting on the day of their initial visit.

Would you allow your children to see the Passion? What age?
by LyinEyes inafter reading megadudes review of what he thought of the movie, i really want to see it now.. gore doesn't really bother me in movies, like braveheart, saving private ryan etc.
i hate the slasher movies for the sake of gore thou.. i guess i am the type of person that is so curious about everything, that even if it is gorey, i would want to know what jesus went thru, as painful as it may be to watch.. but should you let your children see it........ since i havent seen it , i was wondering for those who have seen it,,,,,,,,would you let your kids see it?.
what age,,do you think is appropriate ?

Even though I haven't yet seen it, I would not allow my kids to watch it. Too bloody gorey, I think.
My youngest wouldn't be able to read the subtitles anyway....
