From _grayswandir_'s indignant review of The Passion of the Christ:

"Clearly, suffering massive blood loss and severe torture does not result in unconsciousness followed shortly by death. At least, not in Mel Gibson's sadistic universe. Sucks to be Jesus."

Gibson's been reading h/c eh. (Seriously. Same dynamic.)

The review points out Biblical and historical inaccuracies in the film, before revealing that some fools took their three year old to see it, which was just plain mean of them.

Good grief! I'm sooo glad I didn't go to see it.

Friend and I waited until it came to the cheap theater in town, and were going to show how open-minded we are by wearing t-shirts with giant pentacles on them to the show. But something came up, the movie left town after about a week (at the cheap theater; it was at the full-price one for months) and we never did get to see it.

So I may never know if I missed something profoundly moving, or just gratuitously gory.

I do recall hearing that, if this movie were about anyone but Jesus Christ, it would have been given an NC-17 rating for the brutality.

Now I'm imagining the versions for other major religious leaders. I don't think "Buddha dies quietly of old age and enters Nirvana" could really be spun out to a couple of hours.
