Well, at the very least it has people talking... My neighbor (who has been trying to recruit me into the Nazarene Baptist sect since my arrival in Texas) bought me tickets to the show with the implication that I needed to learn something. It's useless to argue that this event is the cornerstone of the Catholic faith. I've been told "all that he has done for you, and you won't go see his movie?", to which I responded "What has Mel Gibson done for me?" I have no desire to see the movie on 2 fronts...one is that I'm familiar with the story and don't want to see the graphic portrayal of it, and the second is that I believe this is Hollywood cashing in on religion. When Mel Gibson turns over a $117M check to the Pope, then I'll beleive that he's done this as an act of faith.
