“Man, those special effects look so fake!”
“Crucifixion?”
“yes”
“Good.”
Or “Welease Wodewick!”.
As the final scene fades in Announcers Voice say:
Pontias Pilate received a telegram stating that Jesus was found alive, well, and of normal size some eight thousand miles away in a lifeboat.
during the crucifixion scene:
“That doesn’t look so bad.”
“Why is it I feel like a shish kebab all of a sudden?”
I feel the need to apologise.
The last post was for everybody. I was going to reply to a post but changed my mind. My mistake :o
When I saw it the theater, just as they were raising the cross, someone sitting behind me leaned forward and whispered in my ear, “Worship Satan!”
Fucker cracked me right up.
The Internet Infidels Discussion Board has a whole nicely-long thread devoted to things (not) to do while wathing The Passion of the Christ.
Here it is, for your enjoyment:

When Jesus is dragging the cross, don’t sing The Lumberjack Song.
Incidentally, did anyone catch the HUGE continuity error in the beginning of the film? The one Jewish soldier gets his ear cut off when Peter tries to prevent them from arresting Christ, and you can see that there’s just a bloody stub left. Then, a few moments later, you can see the guard’s head, and his ear is perfectly fine! I was shocked at such a glaring error in a movie with this sort of budget. Wasn’t anyone paying attention?!
Mel’s not big on continuity. Anyone remember the “running into battle” scene in Braveheart?
Now he’s carrying a sword! Now an axe! Now nothing! Axe! Nothing! Sword! Nothing! Sword! Nothing! Axe!
I’ll bet it would be in really bad taste to yell, just as Jesus is breathing his last, “FREEE-DOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!”
Hehehe…I never wanted to be a messiah. I always wanted to be…
Laugh. I actually did that when the children kicked Judas’s ass.
Sing “Rain Drops Keep Fallin’ On My Head” when they show the raindrop camera shot near the end.
What not to do? Eat.
Cheer for the Romans
Say “Hey Jesus! If English is good enough for the Texas school children, it’s good enough for you.”
Inspired by my thread on Carl Anderson’s death, I so want to find a young black guy who is willing to wear a long fringed white jumpsuit and jump up and sing “Superstar” over the closing credits.
Read all the subtitles out loud, using different goofy accents. A thick Irish brogue, Danish like Meryl Streep used in “Out of Africa,” Pepe LePeu-style French, etc. When you run out of accents, read some while impersonating famous people – Ed Sullivan, John Wayne, Carol Channing. When all else fails, just use a silly voice – real high, real low, whatever. If you can , sneak in a balloon and do a few lines with helium-voice. Practice your Pig Latin and read afew lines in that, maybe.
Make out in the back row with your date during the Crucifixion scene (a la Jerry in Seinfeld when he saw Schindler’s List.)
Don’t bring your kids, and if you do bring then anyway, don’t sit there with them as they’re bawling their eyes out, clearly deeply traumatized, through the entire last half of the film.
Seriously.
:mad:
