Hey serenejournal, i sometimes listen to "Least Complicated" earworm as well... is a new cd coming out soon? The Passion of The Christ (http://www.ThePassionOfTheChrist.com) is in theaters soon - this week on Wednesday.. what do you think about this movie? I'm going to see it for sure - the trailers (http://www.thepassion.tv) were enough to convince me. I read somewhere that it's the widest opening ever for a subtitled movie; I have a feeling subtitles won't detract from the full effect of this movie though. After looking at the trailers which have no subtitles or english at all, it was reinforced for me that lack of spoken english in this film won't hurt one bit. To sum up my impression of The Passion: it's a work of art. Good Website (http://www.passion-movie.com) Another fascinating aspect to this movie is all the controversy that has been generated about it. Some people, not really representative of Jewish people, but rather self appointed Jewish spokespeople, such as Abraham Foxman from the Anti-Defamation League, seem to have been attempting to denounce this film for months as being anti-Semitic. The news reported that they even stole the script last year! But here's what some Jews say (Jews who don't make it their job to tear apart other people): by Rabbi Daniel Lapin.
I started screening anonymous comments because of this stuff. It hadn't hit me personally until this morning, though. From the looks of it, they had a big push today.
Sheesh. Don't they know it's Sunday? I should hardly think anyone seriously interested in promoting this movie should be working today. :P
I won't screen anonymous comments unless it gets out of hand.
We'll probably see the movie anyway, because someotherguy's "real job" is poking fun at (and studying the inconsistencies of) religion. ;-) (http://jhuger.com)
This sort of spam, starting out with a personal line, is all over LiveJournal and other interactive net places. Some religious groups are exhorting their followers to post it widely. I've gotten the exact same comment, but starting with, "Hey, Mactavish, I like your username! There's this movie . . ."

Nice to see some people speaking rationally.
So what do you think of all this?
