No story is so sacred that it can't be retold by someone else who grows it, gives it their own flavor and perhaps embellishes it with a few things he wishes had happened.

Hmm. The Last Temptation of Christ. Well, is no story so sacred, after all? ;-) :-D

Well, even Matthew, Mark, Luke and John each told Christ's story a little bit differently. Also vital to a retelling is a shared love for the story that doesn't mock it.

I think PJ, and the cast for that matter, love the story as much as we do... so I accept their flaws in not reading it exactly the same as HairOfTheDog. I am just glad they liked it too.

The Last Temptation of Christ.

Ever read the book by Kazantzakis? Not saying it it isn't controversial, but Scorsese butchered it worse than he did The Scarlet Letter. For example, the boudoir scene between Jesus and Mary Magdalene never happened in the book.
