You could have Rambo nailing a drug lord to a 2x4, or JC Van Damme flogging a murderer or Bruce Willis threading a crown of thorns onto the head of a terrorist...No one would flinch at that ..

What was the movie with the Saturday Night Dancing guy in it- a few years ago???

Or the "Natural Born Killers" flick??

I guess senseless violence is the norm....and aside from the Easter Crucifixions in the Phillipines (those are done for a reason x1000) Beating the stuffing outta people is O.k.,
just don't attach a religion to it.
I agree. I haven't seen it yet. I intend to. I have heard from many people that, yes, it is violent and disturbing and graphic. Ummmmm .... what else would you expect? Several people also told me that they have certainly seen movies that were MORE graphic, violent and disturbing ... but no one made a fuss over the violence in them.

If it's half as good as Jesus Christ Superstar, I'm there!

About the woman who had a heart attack ... very sad indeed. She could have probably had that heart attack at Walmart or in her own living room, too.
