All I know is, if this story isn't true I'll be so mad I'll dump 64 ozs of soda on somebodies head.

 

Odd and has nothing to do with the current situation of what is being discussed…

 

Hmm, let's see now...
A movie about an innocent guy getting wrongfully busted. While in custody he is flayed alive, convicted for preaching in a kangaroo court, then, hung on a cross to die in one of the most horrible and painful ways imaginable. Kinda sounds like a horror movie to me.

 

She probably wanted to try out her Oops I crapped my pants undergarments :P

 

First of all, I can't think of too many horror flicks, I've seen, where somebody wasn't throwing things just for the hell of it. Let alone some dimwitt shows up and makes a target of himself.

Secondly, that is a terrible analogy. That's not even close to the same situation. The only thing they have in common is an idiot, and that each story was fictional to begin with.
















No. I didn't just call you an idiot. You should probably try to avoid using analogies, however.

 

Now I'm confused, does that mean you called Burt an idiot?

I agree that analogies can be very dangerous when not used properly. It's like the schoolyard bully that takes your milk money. Oh, sure you think you can do without the milk money because number 1, you're a liberal and number 2 you still have your lunch but, what you don't realize is that your momma packed a peanut butter sandwich in your lunch. That's right just peanut butter, no jelly, which means your momma is a liberal too. And you can't laugh about it because you have no milk after you eat the peanut butter sandwich. Oh sure, you try to laugh but, it just comes out like a cough, a sick whiney liberal cough.

(Try to write analogies like that or just stay away from them altogether, OK?)

 

Both stories had an idiot trying to stir things up.... I think.... Damn! Now I'm confused, too.





If THEY catch you eating a peanut butter sandwich from home, when the free lunch program could surely provide you with a peanut butter sandwich from the cafeteria, and detract from the amount of money that goes toward administrative beaurocracy costs, teacher's pay, teaching supplies, vocational equipment, gym equipment, etc...., you'll be labeled a right wing conservative, and be accused of trying to destroy the school system by limiting the amount of money they are able to ask for the next year. You'll be placed in detention for your transgression, where the bully will also be sent, in order that you don't get too lonely.

 

Evidentally I didn't get my point across very well. That's why I usually stay away from these types of discussions .

Let's try this again. The point I was trying to make is this. In the fictional "devil at the theater" story, you have a group of largely religious people going to the movie. In my terrible analogy, you have the normal (or is that abnormal) Friday night crowd going to see a movie (doesn't matter which movie, pick one). A movie is a movie. Something created in Hollywood to make a buck.

In both fictional stories, you have a person in a costume.

The largely religious group throws JuJu Beans, carbonated beverages, and talks to the media. The Friday night crowd probably just laughs at the guy and life goes on (yeah, maybe theres some popcorn throwing, but nothing too unusual)

That help any? The analogy make sense to me.

Not trying to ruffle any feathers, just my opinion.

 

Would somebody please give Burt a glass of milk so he can respond to this?

 

just a little more satire in the same vein. If it offends anybody, tough crackers, it's a joke!!!




Tom Hanks to play "Jesus Gump"

Jesus Christ,
box-office superstar

By John Breneman

Resurrected by Mel Gibson as a Hollywood heavyweight, Jesus is now being eyed for the title role in dozens of new projects, including "There's Something About Mary Magdalene," "Guess Who's Coming to the Last Supper" and the controversial "Last Tango in Nazareth."

Tom Hanks reportedly is set to star in "Jesus Gump," but a source close to the universally beloved Oscar winner said he is also reading scripts for "Sleepless in Jerusalem" and "You've Got Nail."

Many of Hollywood's biggest stars covet a piece of the action.

Richard Gere will play a militaristic Jesus in "A Savior and a Gentleman" and Woody Allen a neurotic, nebbishy son of God in "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Crucifixion But Were Afraid to Ask."

Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" has stirred passionate criticism that his portrayal of blood-thirsty Jews is anti-Semitic. But the Aussie filmmaker dismisses the charges, saying the same thing happened with "Schindler's Grocery List," "Who Framed Roger Rabbi?" and Dr. Seuss's "The Cat in the Yarmulke."

Other religious leaders have made favorable comments.

Pope John Paul II gave the film two thumbs up, saying, "It is as it was … only with bitchin' special effects."

"Fast Times at Bethlehem High"

There is now some question as to whether the Pope actually made the remark or was just signaling for another jumbo popcorn and some Milk Duds, but his publicist said John Paul II is excited about making his big-screen debut opposite Burt Reynolds in the free-wheeling buddy film "Smokey and the Pontiff."

Also according to the Tinsel Town grapevine, Oliver Stone will direct the story of a long-suffering Vietnam vet in "Born on the 25th of December" and Sean Penn is on board as a cool surfer Jesus in "Fast Times at Bethlehem High."

Other big names attached to Jesus projects include Madonna in "Desperately Seeking Salvation," Quentin Tarantino in the ultra-violent "Reservoir Gods" and Gene Wilder in the madcap comedy "Start the Resurrection Without Me."

The busy son of God will also battle B-movie forces of evil in "Jesus vs. Godzilla" and heal America's ailing democracy in the Capra-esque "Mr. Christ Goes to Washington."
Meanwhile the controversy surrounding Gibson's vision of Jesus Christ, box-office superstar, promises to help make the film a mega-hit, but Tinsel Town insiders say it would be an altogether different story had he not scrapped the movie's original title, "Lethal Whippin'."

 

You typically have to lure him over to the vehicle with a tootsie pop or similar piece of candy.

 

Zaino works too

 

Did somebody mention ZAINO?

 

Ok, at first I was playing with this thread so now I will state what I really think about the situation (if it even happened at all)

First, if it was true what happen then I do feel those throwing things at the moron was wrong. Second I do not think it had anything to do with “tolerance” but rather a disgust at someone mocking a group of people for their particular background and or beliefs.

Let’s take this fictional story and see what you would think about it:

A group of black people go to a theater to watch a movie, based on true events (as is the Passion, IF you believe in God, Jesus and the bible) anyhow this group of people who are African American go to a movie based on true accounts about slavery.

There is a man dressed in a KKK outfit, he says nothing, does nothing, just comes in among them sitting peacefully in his seat eating his popcorn.

I ask would anyone see a problem with that? Would anyone see a problem if some, or most the people in the group threw popcorn, M&M’s are what ever at the guy dressed in the KKK outfit?

Now I am not a church going person but I do believe in God and Jesus and believe in the premise of the movie “Passion” but it seems it is ok for some Americans to practice hate or discontent towards others while it is not ok to do the “same” thing to another group of people as I mentioned in my example.

If you think it is funny about the devil thing then you should find it just a funny for a guy dressed in a KKK outfit to mock another crowd of people, no????

If you find that the Christian people were intolerant based on their actions then you would have to find it intolerant for the people in my example to be upset with the KKK guy. To not come to the same conclusion in both situations would be hypocritical, no???
