Gibson Defends Film (The Passion of the Christ) Movie star Mel Gibson defended his controversial upcoming film The Passion of the Christ last night in an interview with Diane Sawyer on ABC's Primetime. Gibson said the movie's graphic depiction of Christ's crucifixion is meant to make viewers understand the enormity of Christ's sacrifice and is in no way intended to be anti-Semitic. The actor-director explained that the idea for the film came 13 years ago when he realized he was spiritually bankrupt. The Passion of the Christ details the last 12 hours in the life of Jesus and is set for release February 25th. Hopefully, my posting this piece here will make some uncomprehending poorly-informed and self-styled "watchdog" of this thread understand that my recent posting of "The Last Supper" was prompted by, and germane to, the current wave of interest in Mel Gibson's controversial film, "The Passion of the Christ" and was not an attempt at being anti-Jews. I use the word "hopefully" at the start of this paragraph as there is good reason to believe the big head of the watchdog is due to an unusually thick skull!

"But," whined the grandson, "I really don't like guns, Grandpa. How about leaving me your Gold Rolex Watch instead." "You lisinna to me," responded the Don. "Somma day you goina be runna da bussiness. You gonna have a beautiful wife, lotsa money, a big home and maybe a couple of bambino. Somma day you goina coma home and maybe finda you wife in bed with another man. Whatta do you goina do then? Point to you watch and say, 'Times up?'"
