"I could classify it a million ways:
1) very successful at drawing droves of people to see it
2) stupid
3) mildly violent
4) annoying because it was in Aramaic
5) boring
6) predictable
7) pointless
8) deliberatley infuriating to the religious folk
9) provocative -- in a non-sexual way"
You owe us 999, 991 more ways.

AA: How do you classify that slasher movie he made about Christ?
but pornographic? If it is, then the bible is pure porn... hey, maybe you've
got something there.
No sex, but it was pure porn in my opinion. It made him a lot of money too.
Come to think of it, what WAS pornographic about TPOTC is the millions of
"Christians" who self-flagellatingly watched it repeatedly with mouth agape in
rapt silence. Quite a scene! The audience in the theatre was MUCH more alarming
with their reaction than the film itself was. Then, after sitting is absolute
silence for nigh on 3 hours, they walked down the road, crying, holding each
other. The next week, they went again. What a bunch of masochistic dim bulbs.
unpassionately,
