Right-o

So I'm playing Rowena Ravenclaw in giveuspeace. Imagine my surprise when I check the comments and see the following.
The Passion of The Christ is in theaters soon - this week on Wednesday.. what do you think about this movie? I'm going to see it for sure - the trailers were enough to convince me. I read somewhere that it's the widest opening ever for a subtitled movie; I have a feeling subtitles won't detract from the full effect of this movie though. After looking at the trailers which have no subtitles or english at all, it was reinforced for me that lack of spoken english in this film won't hurt one bit. To sum up my impression of The Passion: it's a work of art.
Good Website
Another fascinating aspect to this movie is all the controversy that has been generated about it.
Some people, not really representative of Jewish people, but rather self appointed Jewish spokespeople, such as Abraham Foxman from the Anti-Defamation League, seem to have been attempting to denounce this film for months as being anti-Semitic. The news reported that they even stole the script last year! But here's what some Jews say (Jews who don't make it their job to tear apart other people): Protesting Gibson's Passion Lacks Moral Legitimacy by Rabbi Daniel Lapin.

Nice to see some people speaking rationally.

So what do you think of all this?

This had absolutely nothing to do with the entry (except that Rowena's mood had been "anxious" (she was wondering how a spell would work). I'm not amused.

So I replied.

What the hell are you talking about?
This has positively nothing to do with this journal, or this character.
If you want a personal view, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to see The Passion. I don't care how many good reviews it's getting, or if it's subtitled. I really don't. The reason this is getting so much press is because so many in the world are Christian.
I actually happened to see a good religious-type movie this weekend, it was a documentary on the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Sure held my attention better then Gibson's flick will.
Now listen "Kyle", if by any chance you're in the habit of replying to replies to your comments, feel free to take this over to my OOC journal. It's a topic better suited there, as it has no relation to this journal.
Got it?

And for the record, Rowena isn't Christian-she's not very religious at all.

If anyone gives a damn in seeing how (and if) this goes on this is the entry.

I'm pretty sure that was an advertisement, the comment has been popping up in a lot of people's journals randomly lately. I wouldn't take it too personally. :) (Randomly found your journal while clicking through HP games, by the way.)

Wouldn't surprise me to find that out. I really don't take things like that personally, it just happened to come at a time when I was about ready to flip out at the smallest thing.
*sigh*
That's life.
