I find it most interesting that this movie, because it is about Christ, is one of the only movies ever discussed about content. Sure, movies like Kill Bill might get discussed as to it's violence, but rarely are they discussed for their content.

And when the so-called "right" object to a movie for it's content, the same Hollyweird folks denounce them as against free speech.

But Mel makes a movie based on the Gospels and they all go nuts. No one was complaining when Robin Williams made that awful movie about a family in heaven and he went to hell to get his newly dead wife. Oh, that's called "visionary" and lauded as "artistic".

It's okay to parody heaven and hell in movie after movie, comedy or otherwise but once you actually take it seriously, it's now forbidden.

And to think this is the same Hollywood that once lavished awards on C.B. DeMille and movies like "The Robe", "Ben Hur", and "The Ten Commandements".

By today's standards, or lack thereof, these films today would be equally attacked.

Wake up America! Just quit paying money to see their crap in the theaters, on TV, vidoes and DVD's and believe you me, they'll change to what you want to watch.

I haven't been in a movie theater since "Spider-Man" and that was only to kill a few hours while family visited! lol

I'll rent some everyonce in a while but most are boring and predictable. I even get free HBO and Showtime (basic) on my cable system and there is hardly anything worth watching other than "The Sopranos".

I watch two, maybe three primetime TV shows (Frasier, That 70's Show, MadTV and I suffer through the occasional Enterprise).

The rest is canned laughter crap.
