This is definitely becoming an issue in the world, and I can just see a lot of people having strong opinions on it.

Personally, I think Mel Gibson has his head up his ass. Anyone watching VH1 at all lately must have seen the joke that blonde girl said about how Mel Gibson has finally lost it, and by 'it' she means 'The Memo where it says Jews run Hollywood'. That's some funny shit. It may not be completely true, but a lot of Jewish people are prominent filmmakers, etc. in Hollywood.

I've listened to the shit his father has said. It's pure garbage. He denies that even 6,000 Jews were killed in the Holocaust. He said it was impossible because they were all in the Bronx and Queens. What? Since when can the Bronx or Queens hold six million anything? I don't seem to remember learning in history class about the Great Diaspora to Queens. Gibson defends his father, saying he(Dad) taught him(Mel) all his beliefs. RD said Mel was going to have to go on the record saying the Holocaust DID happen. Mel said, yes, it happened, a lot of people died, some of them were Jewish. WRONG!!!

MOST of them, at least, would have been a better statement. And although I tend to ignore critics about a movie until I've seen it, I have heard this movie portrays Jews in such a blatantly negative way that it is apalling. It is also rumored to be a two-hour Jesus beat-down, far, far more violent than necessary.

The worst thing about this? Not only are people FLOCKING to see this movie, but fanatical Christians are weeping and praying and causing huge uproars all over the place. Add in all the fucking merchandising that has already started (anyone see the Passion of the Christ race car?), and you've got one of the most evil films of this century.

But should the movie be allowed? Yup. Freedom of Speech means even shit like this has the right to be shown. I had just hoped people had better taste than to support such garbage.

Good old Mikey, giving such fair criticism of a film he hasn't seen.

I believe more than half of holocaust victims were gentiles. Mel's dad sounds pretty wack though.

Maybe, dougan, but I'm not liking what I've downloaded so far.

I half agree with MikeyG.

Agreeing side: It's just a fucking movie. You don't need litanies over this. And evil is kind of how this might be described. What I mean by that is that it's taking over part of the world (the intangible world, mostly).

Disagreeing side: It is a movie, but some movie emotionally effect people. You might wanna see what other people's opinions are on it. I, myself, am Christian (probably not the best), but nevertheless I still intend on seeing it. Even if it isn't bibically correct, it probably still will make an impression on people. I can see it being a best seller.

Also, this is starting to sound like the Titanic movie.

The only time I think you can argue against a movie being released is if it's very violent and obviously marketed towards children, or will in some way cause riots or uprisings. If you're not doing harm and you're not forcing obscenity where it's not wanted or expected, you are allowed to artistically express whatever you want.

Other than that, you are a moron if you argue against someone's right to use their free speech. If Jesus offends you, don't watch the movie. If you are complaining about it you are just brainwashed by the criticism in the media, and you might as well have had your brains blown out with a hollow-tipped bullet.

Please note MikeyG complained about it BEFORE he saw the movie. Wow, way to form your own opinion, totally not influenced by the mass media, you gibbering, rotted-brain howler ape.

I don't see any anti-semitism in the release of the movie. I do see a lot of anti-Christianity though. Could you imagine if Christians were protesting the release of a movie made about Moses?

And MikeyG are you saying Mel Gibson shouldn't have made a movie about Jesus because there are Jews in Hollywood?

Wow, I'm really flabergasted by your stupidity. I really didn't think you were THAT stupid.

Agh! You ruined the ending for me!
You did the same thing to me with The Sixth Sense!

ha! Hey, MaKK, remind me to make an Excel spreadsheet outlining your comments nearly everywhere else. Anyway, what I should have said was, 'HYPOTHETICALLY', if what is being said is TRUE, then that is how I feel. Nevertheless, I am pretty disgusted with the merchandising of the story.

MaKK, thanks for once again adding absolutely nothing to what might have been a dialogue. You must have failed your SATs (If you're American), because your reading comprehension SUCKS.
