On Gladiator, one of the lesser characters answered his cell in the middle of shooting, and on a couple of other movies its happened, so why not this one? I accidently took my cell phone onto a rugby pitch and i leave it in my bathrobe all the time.
To: AmishDude
The author made it all up. From the original article: No film set exists without its share of gags and accidents, even the filming of Mel Gibsons crucifixion epic. Interloper Paul Ford got a transcript of scenes that may never make it onto the DVD edition.

I heard Caviezel's call-in to Rush's show but must've missed the part about it actually happening on the cross.
What I was thinking was contrived was how the author of this piece directly connects the struck-by-lightening incident (which supposedly happened after take #14) to a take which happens several takes later (#35).

Did you look at my links to the other articles he wrote, including the one where he INTERVIEWED A DOLPHIN.
To: Bluntpoint
Good one. My Savior is a happy Man with the best sense of humor in the universe!

I guess I am going to hell, because I can't stop laughing about the mote.
I can't get past the part where, if this really happened, it's funny.
But if someone wrote this, it's not.
I think the situationally-offended freepers are buying into post-modernism without, I hope, knowing it.
" As
Entman (1993) notes, the major task of determining textual meaning cannot be accomplished by simply adding up messages without understanding the clusters of salient messages which constitute the broader frames."

Is it just me, or do I find something wrong in outakes for a foreign language film to be in, oddly enough, "English."
To: Spiff
Thanks Spiff for making the obvious point. We know that Satan is purposed to do this - mock to de-emphasize the effect.
The spiritual experience the truth in the movie speaks of and demonstrates is REAL. In a non-spiritual way, can anyone here get an Andy-Rooney laugh if their wife/mother/daughter/son were raped and beaten to death and someone played an outtake reel of the made-for-TV movie actors laughing during the rape scene?
Real yuck yuck - huh? It's so disrespectful it's stupid.
To: Docbarleypop
Lead actors generally do not dress themselves on a set. That's for the wardrobe folks.
Why are these outakes in english?

I tend to think the whole thing is made up...but still funny!
To: thackney

Let's see what he says.
Paul,
Your article has created quite a stir on FreeRepublic.com.
Here is the link.

Please let me know if this is satire or real outtakes and if real, where did you get them.
Thanks,

[on Limbaugh, after lightening]..."Jim looked up to the Heavens and said "Didn't like that take, huh?"I heard that! That was a great comment!
Please, everyone: this was a MOVIE. It is a wonderful meditation and great Christian art which will endure. It is not sacrilege to maintain that these ACTORS and ACTRESSES may actually have had some pleasure while doing this film! Jim's (and others) going to Mass every day does not make it impossible for them to have fun!
Of course, I suspect that the times that Jim was actually contacted by during the scourging was NOT very funny - and I would love to see those outtakes, too... but those will not endure.
BTW: I don't recommend such a cavalier attitude toward The Book, though chuckling in some parts is clearly in order.
This all being said, I'd like to repeat thackney's comment: "I am sorry if I offended you; but there is a big difference about joking in the making of a movie, and joking about God. - Peace."

Doesn't that mean Racy? There was nothing sexual in the whole article. Put me down in the group that thinks this was good clean fun and that it's a good thing to not be too traumatized by this movie.

To: Bluntpoint
I see... Well funny as it is, I would prefer the author used the actors names instead of "Jesus." But I guess that would take some of the intended humor out of it.
To: commish
"I can see my house from here"
This is the punch line to an Old, old joke that I remember hearing circa 1980.
