i hear you get an instant ticket to heaven if that happens

There it is, I could see it on everybody's faces, we were all rushing to get to that line!

Hold on let's go to the phones Fred from Florida go ahead:

"Hey Opie that comment you made 15 minutes ago was another contender for line of the day!"

sniff

Is the pendulum starting to swing back again? That gets me excited.

RIP Flaming Steve C

At least half price at her age.

Unfortunately Yahweh seems to be in an Old Testament mood.

I hope he still plans on doing the sequel that takes place in hell.

Thought it was gonna be about the apostles and the Book of Acts.

The harrowing of hell would make an awesome opening scene to an Acts movie. Then cut to the disciples at Pentecost. But then again a movie about post cruxificion Christ would be cool too.

All the apostles huddled together in a small house, one of them is just chillin in the corner with his hood over his head, just a profile in silhouette, then he stands up all bright and holy and everyone's all, "Shit, it's Jesus, bitches, stick your fingers in his wounds!"

Mel, if you're reading this (of course you are) you can have that one for free.

Ha but that happened before Pentecost. That’s why I hope he makes two movies one about post crucifixin Christ and one about acts.

Who am I kidding what I really want is a first crusade movie.

When I was growing up there was a series of animated Hann-Barbara Bible stories on videotape, Saint Mel should do something like that. Expose the Question to a younger audience.

I'm sure many people haven't watched this film for religious reasons or whatever, but it is a classic in a Braveheart or Apocalypto type way

Yea most biblical movies work well as epics but Mel’s minimalist approach really works for the passion. Too many of the previous movies about Jesus are too Roman in a strange way like too much of Ben hur rubbed off on them.

At the time Christ’s death really had no epic scope and the fact that a routine book keeping type case weighs so heavily on Pontius really conveys the undercurrent of grandeur that existed at a facially mundane occurrence.

The other ones don't do a good enough job of displaying just how awful Jews are, either

god I miss when web design was simple and honest and CNN wasn't staffed with connected millennial jewish revolutionaries

Let's structure our site in an attempt to format to mobile and just make it look shit on all platforms in the process.

He slays

Jim Caviezel is a faggot Catholic.

Please don't call Catholics faggots. They're faggot pedophiles.

Just a human sacrifice for the glory of Saint Mel. No big deal

Mel sends another one to the rose garden.
