I had to hide my eyes for the trailer where they show the hand and the nail, and any time there is whipping. I just can't watch. I really like to be one of the "with-it" people, and there has been/will be so much talk here about it that I wish I would have seen it to be informed about it. But - that is not a good enough reason.

I just watched the same special... wow... I don't really want to watch the movie, you know, but... I don't feel it's my religious duty. But I think if I watch it it will add to my appreciation for the sacrifice. My church - my pastor - is really big on emphasizing that the sacrifice was for me personally... for my sins... and sometimes it's hard for me to grasp the, well, the magnitude of it.

Does that make any sense? I don't care about being with-it, or informed. But I think it will be good for me to go.

It's the Cross that gets me ... every time He strains to move it, every time He stumbles beneath it, my insides twist.

And I find myself screaming at these ever-so-smug idiots in the media who betray their utter disdain for religiosity every time they slam Mel Gibson. Make me nutz!

Did you happen to catch the end of the Screen Actor Guild Awards. just a few minutes ago..

..Lord of the Rings won Best Emsemble...

..and Sean Astin, Billy Boyd, Gollum guy, Liv Tyler John Rys Davies and a few more were there, but not...

...Viggo, Elijah or Orlando.

But what disappointed me very much, is Sean kinda pushed a guy out of the way who was thanking everyone...

..and started a long winded speech about labor unions....and went on and on..

..and John Rys literally shoved him out of the way, so Billy Boyd and others could say thanks!

It was so disappointing and I wonder why he did this!!!!

They've actually started repeating it now on TNT channel, and what I just described will be replayed around midnight.

Did anyone see this???
