Passion

I finally saw The Passion Of The Christ yesterday. Picked it up on DVD over at Best Buy (and so did 4.1 million other people apparently). Never did get a chance to see it in theaters (although i really wish i had. would’ve been interesting seeing people crying and all. kinda like when i went to Fahrenheit 9/11 with everyone cheering for Michael Moore).

I thought The Passion was a good movie. The torture scenes were definitely tough to watch. Like when that cat o nail tails dug into Yeshua’s ribcage, and then having chunks of his flesh visibly stripped away.. YOWZA. And what about the part where it LATCHES ONTO PART OF HIS FACE FOR A SECOND. I don’t know which movie has the more brutal torture scenes. Mel Gibson’s The Passion or Takeshi Miike’s Audition.

Anyhow, i joked about how Mel Gibson is seemingly an expert of sorts when it comes to torture. Well, in addition to getting The Passion Of The Christ on DVD, i also picked up The Passion Of The Jew. I never got to watch on TV when it first aired so it was a funny surprise to actually see it for the first time especially AFTER i made the whole Mel Gibson torture/revenge connection in my Paparazzi post yesterday. Because if you haven’t already seen that episode of South Park, they made it seem like Mel gets off on being tortured. Made me laugh.

Actually i almost picked up Ransom and Payback on DVD too after i saw Paparazzi. But i decided to just get the two Passion DVDs instead. Didn’t want the cashier thinking i was some kind of Mel Gibson worshipper or something.

Kyle: SHUT UP ABOUT JEWS FATASS. YOU DON’T KNOW A THING!
Cartman: OH REALLY? I’VE SEEN ‘THE PASSION’ THIRTY FOUR TIMES NOW. YOU HAVEN’T EVEN SEEN IT ONCE! THERE’S EVEN A PART WHERE THE JEWS HAVE A CHANCE TO SAVE JESUS BUT THEY LET A SERIAL KILLER GO INSTEAD AND LAUGH ABOUT IT!
Kyle: YOU’RE WRONG.
Cartman: You know what I think Kyle? I think you’re scared. You’re scared of the truth. If you aren’t scared then go see it. Go see “The Passion” and tell me I’m wrong. 400 million dollars Kyle. The highest grossing film of all time. Those numbers don’t lie. Mel Gibson Kyle… Mel… Gibson.

(pause)

Kyle: You’re just a stupid asshole Cartman.
