    Atonement wasn't really good....very boring actually!

    The Full Monty- didn't like it much

    Fear of Loathing in Las Vegas- sucked ass

    Pirates of the Caribbean (At World's end)- was too long and really shitty

    I loved the first two though!!

    Oh yes! the Full Monty! (shudder).
    And The Titanic.

    P.S. Borat is the greatest movie ever. :p

    Spiderman 2 and 3 were insufferable. The first one I loved though.

    Borat was funny at times, but it's no where NEAR as funny as Da Ali G Show that it's from.

    I shouldn't imagine so. Laugh away :) I'm serious though, that film was ridiculous. What was the point to it? It was basically exactly the same as Zeffirelli's Jesus of Nazareth but more brutal and gory. I swear, Mel Gibson gets off on that shit. And nobody give me any crap about it trying to "show us what it was like and ram the point home". I'm perfectly aware how unpleasant such a death must be. I don't need to watch some glorified S&M film to show me :D

    I'm looking forward to the Bruno movie that they're currently making. Da Ali G Show was awesome.

    I don't think it was silly to be honest. It's probably pretty accurate if the accounts of the event we have are correct. I should imagine that such a punishment was common. It was a completely unnecessary film though.

    I guess, if you believe in that sort of thing. I'm sure the punishment was very common ...

    Oh don't get me wrong, I'm a staunch atheist :) I just mean that I'm sure the film is an accurate depiction of the punishment that would be afforded to a man claiming to be the Son of God.

    yes, crucifixion was very common in those times....

    it was meant to be very painful and gruesome to try to dissuade others from committing the same crime...also leaving the body hanging does not allow for burial, which in some cultures is very dishonorable

    That must have sucked...

    you could say the same thing about any movie that depicts death or horrific circumstances. guess you don't like those either?

    yes, I imagine it would suck

    although being a believer or non-believer in Christianity doesn't change the fact that this punishment was widely used in ancient times by the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and other cultures

    No, death and horrific circumstances are fine if there is some point to them and to the film. The Passion of the Christ is basically a film that has been made several times before, just with added gore. The entire focus is on the brutality. I have no problem with shocking art, I felt physically sick after watching Gaspar Noe's Irreversible but I still appreciated it and what it was attempting to say. I just didn't find this particular film very artistic. It was just cheap shocks designed to garner publicity.
