Oh oh - it's R rated and violent. That's really an oddity among movies these days. Perhaps there should be an outcry? Perhaps Mr. Gibson should ignore the brutality of the originals and include more modern and subtle tones of recent Bible interpretation. Maybe a homosexual element or a mookish side-kick for the savior? Perhaps a happier ending? Or what if he has the board of Directors for the NRA replacing the Sanhedrin? Would these make the film more palatable?

Wow, haven't seen this much concern by the cognoscenti over violence in a movie since "Kill Bill"!

Oh wait, they weren't concerned about that - even said 12-year-olds ought to see "Kill Bill". Wonder why the difference? Hmmmmm?

Sorry but homosexuals cast themselves in the role of, as David recorded in Psalm 22, "dogs" that encompassed Christ on the cross, mocking him.

It will be interesting to see if Gibson held to that much autentisity in his interpretation of scriptures.
