The movie is headed for blockbusterhood. Attacks on it and on Gibson are only driving audiences into the theaters.

It is. I am considering going to the movies myself and I make it a rule not to go to movie theaters. The theaters and most importantly the crowd (and associated cell phones) SUCK here in Memphis. I went so far as to add a digital projector and sound system to my family room so I did not have to suffer that BS. We are well on our way to recouping the cost in dinners, tickets, and babysitter fees/

This movie will be like the epics from Charlton Heston. I can't wait!

Once you set up even a farily modest home theatre, as I have (and the costs get less all the time), it is very hard to go back to the public theatres. I don't know why people behave as they do in movie theatres...although one of my theories is that the individuals in the audience are seized with the need to divert attn from the screen to themselves, to become an alternative performance...an exercise in vanity.

"This movie will be like the epics from Charlton Heston. I can't wait!"

Like you, I tired of the movie theatre scene, and I spent a considerable amount of cash on my home theatre system; which I enjoy immensely…

Having said that, this is one movie I’m going to the theatre to see, and I can’t wait! The Passion of the Christ, is going to be a blockbuster; and those on the left know it, that’s why we’ve been hearing all this carping and whining for lo these many, many months.

And when The Passion comes out on DVD I’ll be placing it right alongside all of the Charlton Heston epics currently in my collection… I look forward to seeing the movie in the theatre and owning the DVD.
