More crapola from a New York site. 50 million at the opening.Sounds like Mel is going to win this one.As he should.

This is the closest "Gore" has appeared to "Passion" in ... well, ever.

Here is what the rotund beast says about Terrantino's flicks when reviewing Kill Bill:

"Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs" fans will be delighted with the in-jokes, gore, movie references, and chunks of flesh and brain splattering the walls.

She wrote the 1995 book "Quentin Tarantino: A Man and His Movies.

Worshiped like a film star by fans of his ultrahip and violent movies, reviled and condemned by the self-appointed guardians of morality, Quentin Tarantino has become the cult hero of the nineties. Using exclusive material from her interviews with Tarantino and those close to him, Jami Bernard traces his fascinating rise from high school dropout and B-movie junkie to the darling of Hollywood, exploring the philosophy and mythology of the writer and director who has, with just a few explosive films, turned the movie world on its head. With the furor over Reservoir Dogs, the triumph of Pulp Fiction, and the bitter conflict over Natural Born Killers, Tarantino's meteoric rise has been turbulent and headline grabbing. Through the unique inside perspective of those who have worked, played, and done battle with him, Jami Bernard looks beyond the media icon and reveals the man - and his message."

blood rains like outtakes of "Kill Bill."

Interesting... lets see her "Kill Bill" review and see how she goes on about the violence...

Oooooooooooooohhhhhh.....behave, baby!

I was thinking of Bluto's reaction to seeing Flounder flashed on a movie screen in "Animal House"!

AAAAAGGGGHHHHH!

Aramaic is not a dead language. It is spoken by the Chaldean Christians of Syria and Iraq.

[Sloth]

Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" is the most virulently anti-Semitic movie made since the German propaganda films of World War II.

Anyone who'd print such absurd hyperbole would not be allowed to work for any responsible news organization.

[journey7873]

She's a man, baby. Groovy.

[goldstategop]

Why all the angst over the violence? This from the same people who celebrate mass murderers on Death Row.

[johnb838]

Yeah, but... movie-fone said that not all theaters in the country would be sold out today. So there.

[Heatseeker]

LOL - when I saw the thread title I thought Algore was gettin' some action from Monica or something. :)

[COBOL2Java]

All of a sudden hollywood is concerned about violence in movies.

Goes along with them suddenly being concerned with the Vietnam War, with "state's rights" (i.e., with regard to gay marriage), etc...

[Abe Froman]

Whatever happened to the idea that the centerpiece of every major religion is love?

And no greater love has there ever been or ever could be than that of Jesus who endured the brutal fate which was rightly our own, taking the burden of our sin onto himself and paying the price.

[Reactionary]

I have averted mine eyes from the mutant, Jami.

The nose alone is a tribute to tall buildings everywhere.

[TotusTuus]

He misappropriates an important line from the Jewish celebration of Pesach ("Why is this night different from all other nights?")

I read from one of the other zillion articles on the Passion that it was none other than Maia Morgenstern, the actress who plays Mary and who also happens to be Jewish, who suggested this line.

You'd think an "award-winning" film critic would know that. Then again, maybe she did. She just didn't want to tell her audience.

[ This FILM IS NOT ABOUT JEWS!! Get over it! It is about humanity and our flawed and sinful nature! They call the final moments of the Lord's life to be "anti semetic?" ]

HOW-->> Jews killing (or haveing a Jew killed) about disent over jewish prophecy is anti-semitic is beyond me...,.

The real frothing of the mouth oughta be about whether Jews shot themselves in the keyster when God made their religion obsolete, their "priests" mere shaamans as he did with literally every other religion on earth with their own con man / witch doctors..

Now theres something to get upset about. Jesus costing religious JOBS... and not so subtly implying ALL religion is of the DEVIL.. and direct access to a real God is possible but not according to your own rules(myths)..

[Chris Talk]

I know at least ONE major religion whose centerpiece is NOT love, and that is Islam.
