I haven’t seen this movie myself, even with all the ‘media hype’ (Mel too cheap to actually pay for advertising?)
Just wondering if anyone has seen it and what their take on it was?

I am going tonight, I think. Church groups are having special showings. The Presbyterian Church is reserving 199 seats for tomorrow at 9:00am. I think the movie will be great!

I saw it last night. It is just as you have heard, absolutly amazing. It is hard to even put into words the feelings you feel when watching it. I will say this, it is a great movie but will make you feel quite down for the rest of the day, or at least a few hours after viewing.
It is quite graphic but don't let that scare you way from seeing it, it actually wasn't quite as bad as I had heard.
I can't remember the last time I could hear snifling & soft weeping in a movie but I did last night.

A friend of mine (not in Albert Lea) is planning some unholy blasphemy to go see this. He's going to wear a cape, get a cane, and bring his girlfriend dressed in demonic styled makeup led on a leash, and shout things like "whip him harder!" at crucial moments in the movie. It would be worth going with him just to see what happens. 
After reading about the film killing a woman, I have to wonder "Can a sinner survive the Jesus movie?:" Stay tuned...

I just called out to the movie hotline to get the times and it said they were selling next day only tickets for "Passion." Anyone know if this is the case? If I didn't buy my tickets last night then I can't go tonight?

I plan on seeing it this weekend, kudos to Mel for having the guts to make this movie and put his own $ and reputation behind it. my daughter went to it on Wednesday night and said that it was such an overwhelming experience that it was hard for her to describe it but that she felt that she had a deeper appreciation of her beliefs. Got choked up when trying to talk about it.

It shows us how western religion has been twisted and distorted over the centuries.
All it was about, was trying a new way of living than the Roman way.
Now the US is the new Rome and we're right back where we started from!  How about we jail a few more kids for decades over drugs...sound good?
