Passion of the Christ
CharlieBrown:
They had some little thing on the telly about it a few days ago, loads of religious scholars and movie critics talking about how accurate/inaccurate /racist it is. Jews were beefing with Mel Gibson in a major way for his (and they were insisting it was Mel's portrayal, not The Bible's) portrayal of their race in it.
Doubt i'll go and see it, as i haven't been to the cinema in ages and their are other films i'd rather see, wouldn't mind watching it at some point though.

"its costing you your soul, for going to church, and not living life freely"
spending an hour a week in church thanking god does not qualify as "costing you your soul" ...I mean come on u probably spend twice that time scratching ur ass while laying on your couch....can you smell the freedom?

Woman collapses during screening of "The Passion of the Christ," dies at hospital
Associated Press
WICHITA, Kan. - A woman collapsed Wednesday during a screening of "The Passion of the Christ" and later died at a hospital.
The Wichita Eagle identified the woman as Peggy Law Scott, 57. No cause of death was immediately available.
Scott was attending a 9:30 a.m. showing of the movie with some co-workers from Clear Channel Radio when she collapsed about 20 minutes before the end of the movie.
KAKE-TV, which was filming a story on local reactions to the film, reported that Scott collapsed during the film's bloody crucifixion scene.
Two medical professionals, including Dr. Ron Morford, were at the movie and tried to revive Scott, said Ken Crockett, a spokesman for Warren Theatres.
Morford said Scott was sitting behind him and several seats over. The movie was hitting a climactic point, he said, when he heard people saying something was wrong.
Morford said got out of his seat to see people get Scott into the aisle.
"I was checking her, and it didn't seem like she was breathing," Morford said.
He said she didn't have a pulse.
Someone called 911. Two women, at least one of them a nurse, began to perform CPR. Morford said he helped supervise.
"They did a very good job" trying to help her breathe, Morford said.
While people were helping Scott, the lights were turned on and moviegoers were ushered out.
Scott was taken to the St. Joseph campus of Via Christi Regional Medical Center. Roz Hutchinson, a spokeswoman for the hospital, confirmed the death.
An autopsy will be conducted on Thursday, according to a spokeswoman for Sedgwick County.
Scott was the general sales manager for KRZZ and KKRD radio stations.

if u read a book it wont be the same as seeing the facial expressions of all the actors in the movie. It's more like a silent movie. U gotta watch it.
Damn thats crazy but sad about the women collapsing and dying. So far ive heard of something like this happening to 3 movies now...Jaws, Pulp Fiction, and now The Passion of the Christ
