One of the best parts of this show was at the end, after Prince sang, he turned to Gibson and said, "Mel Gibson! Wanna catch a movie after we're done here?"

It was priceless and the crowd loved it!

I'm just curious, since my knowledge of pop culture is usually at least 3 years out of date... did Prince finally get off that ridiculous "Artist formerly known as" and symbol shtick?

I can't even imagine what he looks like these days.

A bit of a little known fact: Prince is a lifelong Christian.

I wonder how many parents are taking their children to see this?

Not many, I suspect. I wouldn't take my kids to see Saving Private Ryan or Schindler's List either. It's not a concern with them "not being able to handle it". Unfortunately, they see plenty of shocking things in every day's newspaper or on TV. It's more that if the level of (historically accurate and true-to-life) violence is enough to shock me then I would worry that a young child won't be able to see past it to understand what the story is really about.

Based on everything I've heard and read about The Passion it will take a level of knowledge and maturity rare among young children to not be overwhelmed by the raw violence, because of it's accuracy not in spite of it.

I missed that. I went to bed after Mel.
