As an aside, I'm sorry to see that this thread got moved to the chat forum. As far as I recall, this is the first preview/review of The Passion from regular filmgoers as opposed to those who were asked to screen it for an evaluation of its PC quotient.

Actually I was the one who posted it to TV/Movies which is a sidebar in "chat"/General Interest. It's not 'news' per se but I thought that it was something to report. While my focus was on Mel Gibson's appearance and screening, it was not exclusive.

You can always PING others to this thread or post the link in articles you find in News (with as much stuff gets posted there, it could have scrolled off the sidebar before many people got a chance to read it anyway).

I've also noticed that when a thread is moved from News to General, the keywords disappear and usually there is no "topic" selected by the admin so it would immediately get lost (the sidebars and searches are the only ways to really "discover" threads on the General portion of FR because of all of the traffic posts to "daily discussion" generate). Since I posted it, I was able to select the Religion and Movies topic sidebars for this thread.

Thanks Marsha for the posting.

The more I read and see of this film, the more fascinating it becomes.

Would love to be able have Mel come and ask our audience questions after we see the movie... What an opportunity to get some behinds the scenes thoughts.

I truly think this production of Mel's will be a landmark film. I also think it will take this Country by surprise. If it does as well as I think it's going to, it will be curious to see how the Academy Award's industry treats it. (Although I have my suspicions...)

Just saw the Newsmax interview with Mel. I am amazed to hear of all the happenings that took place during the making of this film. A girl getting cured of epilepsy, and a technician being struck twice by lightning and seems to be suffering no ill effects. Wow!
