Holy Shit
So I finally got to see a bootleg copy of The Passion last night and it was everything I expected and more.
First, lemme get the big question out of the way : Is the movie anti-Semitic? Well, the only characters who get even close to rivaling Jesus in screen-time are the bloodthirsty Jews, who are always a couple steps away with a chant of “Kill him!!” Considering it’s supposed to be a movie about Jesus, Mel Gibson has spent much more time focusing on Jewish bloodlust than say…the sermon on the mount.
Having read many reviews of the film when it came out, one of the things that really struck me about The Passion was that it’s one of the craziest goddamn movies I’ve ever seen. Seriously. Here’s a few examples of what I’m talking about :
So, next time somebody wants to tell you about the historical accuracy of this movie (that’s based on a book whose own historical accuracy is dubious at best), just remind them that there aren’t any werewolves in the Bible.

this truly was one of the weirdest movies i’ve ever seen- and i’ve seen a lot of weird shit.
this movie needs to be inducted into the cult-horror movie status as soon as it hits video stores. however- i don’t like the idea of mel gibson profiting off of people who wanna laugh at how stupid this movie is, so i encourage you to go to canal street in chinatown and purchase a bootleg for $5.
while i don’t support illegal bootleging in most cases- i think it’s “justifiable” in a case where a hypocrite-catholic is making tons of money out of exploiting his “savior” and the emotions of that savior’s sheep. i’m glad i was able to see this weird piece of crap movie without any of my money going into mel’s pockets.

Nightmare on Mel Street
Amusing and somewhat startling take on The Passion of the Christ at The Talent Show. I haven’t seen the film, but I’m amazed that the stuff pointed out in the post has gotten essentially zero mention elsewhere. What’s up with…

No, Really.
Thank You.
You have saved me the horror of actually watching it… it’s a movie that too many people have made too big a deal about, and I don’t even want to have an opinion about it.
and now i find out it has werewolves, cannibalistic Jews, and a miniature-vampire I can say but one thing.
Sweet!
I was afraid that it actually made some sense and there was a secrt plot to control the minds of christians everywhere, but if it’s just supposed to scare them into making sure there’s enough gas in the car, i can sleep easy.
thank you again, you have saved me the horror of a bad horror film.
p.s. does the dorky cheerleader girl get to nail Jesus?

I think that some kick-ass Jewish director should do an equally bloody movie called “The Passover” in which the pharoah (who looks like Mel Gibson) will have his son slaughtered by the angel of death, as he himself is covered by writhing hordes of evil poisonous frogs and chirpy locusts.

I had to ask a couple actual pastors before someone explained Mini Me: it’s supposed to represent the world, in the hands of Satan.
But, yeah, those demon children ROCK! They deserve their own sequel.
