Sounds familiar...;^)
The "Rant 'O The Week" that just wouldn't end. You poor thing, I should've spared you the ping.
Don't be dissing Times New Roman. Next thing you know you will be denying the Holocaust. LOL. Slippery slope and all....
Wheeeeeee!

I think we have a sitter for Monday afternoon so we can go for the first time.
Please come back and post what you think.
I would imagine I will buy the DVD.
I would imagine the sales will break records.

This movie will still be making money when the grandchildren of it's detractors are adults, providing Christ hasn't come back to rescue us from this stinking hell hole by then.
Amen.

There have been movies about the Inquisition. No Christian believes that there was anything Godly about that behavior.
Evil exists and is not particular about the philosophical protestations of its minions. How gallant it is to be so murderously non-discriminatory.

Los Angeles-AP -- Mel Gibson's "Passion" has risen to the top of the box office. "The Passion of the Christ" has taken in 117-point-five (m) million dollars since its debut five days ago on Ash Wednesday.

Yea but Comic Sanz ROCKS! LOL
Thanks for the link.
Houdon's "the kiss" is very good fer sure, but it pales (IMO) to François-Auguste-René Rodin's:
I don't want to garble up your thread with other pictures, but when you have time go Here to see some more pics from the Getty Muzeum.
From when I visited it a couple of years ago. One needs to spend days there. It is awesome, have you been there?

Oh and by the way. Houdon's
Busts of the founding fathers are GRATE!
Speaking of busts, Diana isn't bad either...

I saw the pics, they're lovely. But don't count out Houdon, there is a translucency to his work that almost defies description, as if light comes out from within. His Ben Franklin breathes, his Napoleons are stunning.
I go to the Getty often. It has an Alma-Tadema (Spring) that is awe-inspiring, and a lovely Impressionist room. It's my favorite place in the city for lunch.

Houdon's works are fantaztic...I don't count him out, in fact I thank you for "introducing" him to me.
His busts of the founding fathers are awe inspiring for sure.
My "problem" is...well it is not a problem...that seeing Rodin's work at the Legion of Honor was a grate inspiration to me to do sculpture. Of course my works pale in comparison to Rodin and Houdon.
I also was inspired by Ron Boise an artist I worked with until his untimely death at the age of 35.

"Here, the film said to me, here is this gift, do you accept it? And if you choose to accept the story just depicted then the only acceptable response to it, indeed the demand of it, is love. Accept it and arise, new, redeemed, golden, victorious. Decline and one's fate is that of the maggot-ridden ass, of Legion, dust and howls and bones." I believe you got it, Anna. But the clogged ears of a world paralyzed by selfishness will be hard pressed to "rise and walk".
Thanks for your critic. I have yet to view this work but as I have been reading and studying for many years, my imagination pictured all this already. May HE continue to Bless you and yours.

my imagination pictured all this already. Mine too. But I don't think it was my "imagination"
When I read the NT thirty years ago (mostly the Gospels) I "saw" this movie.
It was like I was there, a fantastic experience.

The Lord said that if he was lifted up, he would draw all men to himself. Now, he is being lifted up again in the sight of this end-of-days generation, calling out to all to make their decision. Is this the Christ? Is this the Savior of the world, whose death will atone for my sins? Perhaps, God is using the skill of Mel Gibson to thrust His Son into the decadent arena we all live in, calling one and all to decide. Whom shall you serve? The time draws short.
