About the Passion Of Christ, taken from Steve's site:

The film troubled me but did not shock me. Being such a hardcore horror movie buff, I had trouble containing my interior frustration of witnessing so much graphical violence. The previous sentence may seem like a contradiction so allow me to explain: I was now frustrated at the violence, I was frustrated to see how the MPAA allowed the scenes to remain intact while it decimates horror productions of their most excessive scenes. This ignorant and hypocritical organization goes against the freedom of expression. Popular religions, by their severe and sure of themselves nature, can only be right or wrong. If there is any justice on this earth, why should such a film receive such a preferential treatment?

As an adult, I claim the right to view any film I desire in its integrity. If a film deserves a preferential treatment in the senile eyes of the MPAA, this organization is by definition dishonest.

I think thats the most insitefull, honest, and thought provoking review of a movie, and organization, that ive ever read. Good form, Steve. THAT, my friend, was fucking brilliant!!!!

Yeah.. I was kind of pissed when I wrote that. Can you guys tell?

[Arioch]

It makes so much sense tho. It really pisses me off as well, but i wouldnt have even noticed it if you hadn't mentioned their hypocrisy. Good form...

Here is a funny fact:

The Video Game industry has come under fire because the government called their rating system "ineffective". However, the games industry pointed out that their system is better than the one that the film industry uses, and the only reason it has "failed" so far is the retailer's failure to enforce it.

I think marking anything with blood as "mature" is more responsible than hollywood trying to make everyone make pg-13 movies to increase sales and "protect" fragile minds. The Ring was pg-13, and i hate to think of the emotional scars that it probably caused in some kids who went to see it because of the rating, when their parents would never let them see, say, the Matrix because it is R Rated, and the cartoon violence may turn them into a mass-murderer.

I suppose that is a bad example. maybe it would be better if kids were afraid of TV.

I guess my point is that i agree, just because it is Jesus being flayed alive, doesnt make it any more valid. Plus, no offence to Mel Gibson or any other Catholic, but the movie is the Catholic idea of how things happened. The Catholic church has, on occasion, bent things a little to sell their cause. Not that it dint happen that way. in the end, a very nice guy was killed horribly for trying to make everyone get along. Damn Romans.


Oh yeah, and on the subject of the thread, Gloom Chapter 1 is up on my site :D

... all religeons and denominations distort things to their view its always been the case and always will ... hence the many wars in the name of god!!!

I doubt if there is an original holy book or untwisted religeon on the green earth!

The exorcist does nothing for me im not saying its not a good movie, maby it is, but as I have no faith of any kind so it meant nothing to me at all, likwise the passion of Christ was just a gore movie for me and so in that way very very boring! That said I do think Christians have disneyfied Christ on the cross and maby they needed reminding just what a sacrifice like that means!

Feral Cat ... the infidel!

I agree, they may all be "the word of god", but they were written by people, which is the first and worst mistake.
