: I've explained the origin of my screename before. I don't call myself cynical, someone else did.
It was a JOKE.
: B) So what? No one should make contraversial films anymore because some sick fucks might use it for ill reasons? What are you suggesting, Thought Police Officer Jimmy?
Way to take things to an extreme. This isn't controversial fiction like DOGMA, this is taking text from a Holy Scripture out of context and making a certain group of people appear more guilty than they were in the death of who was probably THE most important man in history. The reason it's not getting a wider distrubition is because the people involved think the same thing as me.
: : Antisemites THRIVE on anything that they can twist into propaganda. They've been using the Bible for years, and now they'll use an already skewed movie to get the kids that have short attention spans and like violence.
: This last line is pure gold, buddy - Do it for those poor sadistic A.D.H.D. kids out there.
Do you know any people that were raised or taught to be racist? The people that do that use propaganda from any medium that they can twist. I'm not saying the KKK will use this as a recruiting video, just saying that this isn't your average controversial film and the controversy is totally justified.
