At the English school I work at, more people were interested in talking about The Passion than were interested in the Academy Awards.

Everyone is shocked that it has done so well and already people are wondering when it will get to Japan. I doubt Mel had planned originally to distribute it here, but after that Blockbuster opening, he won't have a choice.

I expect this movie to result in a huge SURGE in interest in Christianity in Japan. Churches will be overwhelmed with visitors.

The naysayers and snide leftists can carp and complain all they want, but nothing succeeds like success and this movie is now hotter than a supernova on steroids.

I tried to watch the awards, but it was difficult as the biggest event in film was happening simultaneously at theaters across America.

The show seemed smaller than usual.

Let us pray. I had thought of it as a tool for evangelizing closed Muslim societies, but this may also finally crack Japanese society.
