The Nativity Story OR "Let's Turn The First X-Mas Into An Action Film!"

[Joker]

Oh my god, have you seen the trailers for this thing? It looks frickin hillarious. My favorite part was when the Roman guy was all like "we must stop them!" and then it went into a big montage of action scenes, like them not being able to cross a raging river and them running through the desert and hiding from Roman army troops. This may be the most unintentionally funny religious movie that's ever actually came out to theaters. Ah well, at least it's not a giant epic all in aramaic about how the jews killed Christ and are all going to rot in hell because they're the root of all evil, like some popular religous movies I could name

 

[Catman]

Hey, Gabe! Nice to see ya posting again. And, yeah, I guess the trailer is some-what funny.

 

[Joker]

Also, way back in the day, they played the teaser about you know, "one man will come to earth and save us all" at the midnight premire of Superman Returns...the whole crowd was laughing and saying to each other "arent we already at this movie?" not the best choice of film to debut that trailer at...btw, I'm fairly sure Superman could take Jesus in a fight

Like what? The Passion of the Christ is nothing remotely close to what you described, other than the language it's in.
Of course I know you're more concerned with being asinine and sarcastic than making any kind of a valid point, as usual, so I'll leave you to it.

Why must you diss Gabe, huh?

Passion of the Christ is close to being a snuff film.

no, Stormy is right...but I guess I'd need to see a valid point made in one of his (her?) posts before we would really know how I would respond to it though


oh and by the way, the Passion created huge controversy with it's overt anti-semetism, but it seems like I'm the only one who listens to you know, news that doesnt come from Rupert Murdochs a**hole of a tv station, and it was actually protested by several prominent Jewish religous leaders

Actually, a big part about Jesus' birth was King Herod, being a paranoid sociopath, feeling that a messiah threatened his power base and ordering the exicution of every newborn child in his domain. The action part is probably Mary and Joseph escaping to Egypt after their son is born.

To be honest that part was very funny.

 

[Caliber]

Great more religious propaganda films, but I guess if this has some humor then it can't be bad. The Passion was more of a killer.

 

[Catman]

Indeed it was.

I hope this movie has a suprise ending.......where the baby gets kidnaped by dingos.

Only if he grows up to be Paul Hogan.

Mary- Joseph! Joseph come quick!

Jospeh- Mary! Where is our beautiful baby boy, Jesus?

Mary- The...The dingos ate our baby!

Joseph- Oh noes! There is only one thing to do now!

Kangaroo Jack- G'Day mates! I'll get that wee baby back for ya!

If superman can`t even convince people to come to the cinema to see SR then he ain`t gonna be much of a match for Jesus.

When we both die why don`t we start a penpal program. You can tell me what hell and eternal damnation are like and...lol.

You prob will be going down to satan town for that though. Depends on which god is actuually in charge; loving-friendly-our-father-who-art-in-heaven god or i`ll-kill-off-99%-of-mankind-with-a-flood-because-i-ain`t-happy-with-how-they-are-at-the-moment god.

To be fair though if the later is in charge we are all probably screwed.

They would protest wouldn't they Thats pretty much the case with every Jesus film. History wont be denied just because some people cry about it.

 

[Zenien]

I loved reading the Passion threads and seeing the opinionated anti-______ come out of the woodwork. Forget all the entertaining nuance that religion topics usually generate, throw in the alledged death of jesus and it makes for some awesome pro bannings and locks.

If Passion was really history then it would be historically accurate, unfortunately it's not. Too bad so sad.

 

[tzarinna]

Just got back and it did have some comedic moments and they were intentional. Loved the three wise men and baby Jesus had such a cute bum. Although I'm almost more than certain I don't ever want to give birth.
The only thing that almost had me tear up was the three wise men,they were used mostly for comic relief up until then.

yeah that would be great...if heaven and hell existed, which they dont...so sorry

 

[Tempest19]

If Nativity doesn't do as good as Passion at box office- expect the media to pick up on it and FAST. Because what would that say about us? Lol.

Pay to see the crucifixion? "I'm in!" Pay to see the birth? "Count me out, that's boring!"

I'll get around to seeing it, probably. But- you have to admit, if it doesn't do as well as Passion- the media will spread that story like wild fire.
