THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST.. (A HIT OR A MISS?).. Live thread!Contrary to popular media pronouncements, the first of the commercial showing of this long awaited, landmark, and controversial film has already debuted and the misconceptions that the fate of this endeavor hangs in the balance.. That is HOGWASH.. The Passion of the Christ is on the brink of a record breaking opening, in spite of the limited available screens, and the all out, and outragous efforts on the part of the National Media's near unanimous rejection, and the Hollywood establishment roadblocks to stymie this motion picture and it's brilliant and courageous director/producer..
I just receive a call from friends that attended a church sponsored midday showing of the movie with more than 850 of their fellow flock. The collective response was "it was sobering and breathtaking, and they existed with a profound feeling of moral inadequacy".
I toyed with the idea of accepting an invitation to book a private showing at a local theater for this weekend, however after calling a few local churches to help fill the seats I discovered that all (I call 12) of the parishes and neighborhood churches had already secured their own private dates with sellout crowds.. Every one of them had sold the seats within a day of their announcements... I just may book a threater in three weeks for all of my friends and family, that wish to watch it again, and again..

Carlo,
I hope this works and that people find the movie meaningful.
NOT sure I could cope with popcorn during it, though!
My best friend is going tomorrow with her church-group. I told her "bring kleenex".
Let us know what you think when you DO see it!

Would it be possible to keep this thread near the top of Breaking News so that we don't have multiple threads with freeper reviews.

Will be watching a church showing on Sunday morning. Expecting packed house.
Feeling of moral inadequacy? Yes, I think that's the only way we can feel in light of the standard God has set - perfection. Since none can attain that, we are left to put on the robe of righteousness that Jesus takes off his back to place on us....if we will just accept that free offer.

I bought my tickets awhile ago in support of the Passion. 11 of my girlfriends are going Feb 29th, and we are very excited.
We will come back to a friends house after the movie to discuss it.
Oh, how does the movie end?
Jesus 1
Satan 0
God Wins!!!
