Apparently, he "spent" $25 million OF HIS OWN MONEY to make the film. Oh my god. He's just throwing it all away!!!

Hey media: it's called an investment, jackasses. And whether you think he's crazy or not (crazy as batshit), it's going to be a profitable one.

'President Bush said he wants to stop activist judges from changing the definition of the "most enduring human institution."'

Shouldn't the key to that sentence be "human?"

A friend of mine (she has an IMDB listing, isn't that cool?) worked on sound for the Passion. I saw her this weekend and she said that it was an amazing production to work for. She went out of her way to talk about how cool Mel was in working on the film. She said he was a genuinely nice guy, very funny, and not really pushy about the religion stuff.

I liked the blonde with the kid better. For some reason, I thought she was incredibly hot. Ever have that happen? You see a chick who's hot - but not insane model hot - yet she really flips your switch. I think I'm genetically/primordially wired to desire chicks who look like the blonde with the kid, yet I can't put my finger on the particular physical atrribute that makes her so hot to me...

Of course, the fact that I all but got Viagra-style wood while watching Tyra Banks on the Daily Show last nite kind of blows any hypothesis that I'm wired to like blondes. I never thought much of Tyra in print, but Jesus Fucking Christ... she's unbelievable in the flesh. And she seems pretty smart. Somewhat clueless, but smart.

Cop it while it's hot...
 

It's an excellent album, widely available for download.

Really? I've never liked her and I think she is really annoying on America's Next Top Model. I don't think she is UNattractive, but she's not hot.

Speaking of Christmas
 

Really annoyed me with Braveheart and the Patriot. Though he hasn't even remotely risen to Robin Williams levels of annoyance, I admit, and I don't make a point of avoiding his films in general - just the "meaningful" ones, because of the aforementioned and repeatedly demonstrated annoyance factor.

Sounds like you don't really need to speak Aramaic.

• [T]he movie Gibson has made from his personal obsessions is a sickening death trip, a grimly unilluminating procession of treachery, beatings, blood, and agony—and to say so without indulging in “anti-Christian sentiment” (Gibson’s term for what his critics are spreading). For two hours, with only an occasional pause or gentle flashback, we watch, stupefied, as a handsome, strapping, at times half-naked young man (James Caviezel) is slowly tortured to death. Gibson is so thoroughly fixated on the scourging and crushing of Christ, and so meagrely involved in the spiritual meanings of the final hours, that he falls in danger of altering Jesus’ message of love into one of hate.

Her arms are skeletal. Ick.

This is the woman who's not "insane model hot?" Good god.

sorry. thought that was a great line.

Speaking of Christmas
 

What? Those arms are normal. Compared to some Holloywood chicks' appendages, I's dare say they're robust.

I think Coltrane answered my question about why she's hot. Her face is simply spectacular. Killer smile, perfect eyes, great cheekbones. What's her name?

Speaking of Christmas
 

You say the sweetest things, dear.

Speaking of Christmas
 

That's what's great about her. She's a chick you might actually meet. You aren't going to run into Tyra Banks on your ordinary chores.

Ellen Pompeo.

Which explains why I'm attracted to her. I dig the Italian women.

Of course, she doesn't look Italian at all.

Speaking of Christmas
 

Given where you live, I find that really hard to believe.

Speaking of Christmas
 

I think the most important part is that she has a perfect nose.

Speaking of Christmas
 

That chick is way hotter than Tyra Banks. I hate the supermodel look. Fuck Giselle -- give me Carmen.

Speaking of Christmas
 

The eyebrows? Oh, not at all.

Speaking of Christmas
 

Let me clear something up. You don't run into supermodels on your ordinary chores. Run of the mill models, however, are pretty common. At least two live in my building. So I believe the term is "insane supermodel hot", not "model hot". That takes it to a whole new level.

Speaking of Christmas
 

I spend a good bit of time in NYC. But you're right, this place is not easy on the eyes. BUT, you can meet chicks like that one just west of town, in the nicer suburbs.

Speaking of Christmas
 

Supermodel is the new wind chill.

Speaking of Christmas
 

No, I think it's b/c she's both hot and cute, a combination that doesn't occur too often. It's usually one or the other. The cuteness makes her more approachable and less model-like. That's why you THINK you might run into her on the street.

Speaking of Christmas
 

I see what you mean. I was going more on skin tone.

Speaking of Christmas
 

Like "I'd give her an 8, but she goes to 9.65 with the [windchill factor]?"

Speaking of Christmas
 

Carmen's face is gorgeous. She needs to lower tha air pressure on her implants, however... I find Gisele's face boring. But her body... that's a spicy meatball.

As to Tyra, she's the Anti-Supermodal Supermodel. She's got a rack like she's smuggling cantaloupes and some hips.

Grey Album, Passion, Leagl's Dates
 

Grey: TM, Thanks for the recommendation. It's interesting (and I mean that in a good way, not the Minnesota subtle slam way). Besides the fact that I really like melody, I have a problem with rap: I can't listen fast enough to follow the words. (My inability to follow the words is also a problem with pop and rock but and without melody the words are pretty much the whole purpose for listening to rap.) I have to concentrate really hard to get even 80% of the words and that's a lot more concentration than I usually give to popular music.

ETA: Maybe I'm better off NOT following most of the words.

Passion: I'm definitely going to see it but not tomorrow night. I want to go to it with people I know so I can talk about it after. I saw a trailer for it in the theater last weekend and the production values look good.

So Leagl, you're making out in parking lots already? Little hussy. Is this with the Virgin Kisser or with Date #2 or 3???

Speaking of Christmas
 

Agreed. What's her mom's maiden name? Guessing it doesn't end in a vowel.

Did anyone else find his need to recite that James Caviezel is strapping and half naked a bit ... squicky?

Agree with the premise but not the conclusion. Y'all let me know whether it's worth seeing. So far I can think of other ways I'd rather spend $9, like buying a used English/Aramaic dictionary.

Speaking of Christmas
 

Yes, the cute factor is attractive on her (I am usually turned off by exclusively "cute" girls).* But I think its the smile and the fact that she's not too made up. You could meet her. She'd be the "incredible chick from (office, work, school)," but still within reach, or at least technically available. And she probably looks IRL nearly as good as she does on screen. Simply put, I know some chicks in her category.


*Cute is often a step from "perky" and "full of life." Perky and bubbly cute people are like perky little dogs. They're best muzzled, or squashed by a UPS truck.

James Caviezel was absofuckinglutely gorgeous in The Thin Red Line. I hated the movie but actually found myself salivating when he was on screen.

I'd like to see James Caviezel "strapping and half naked" with every fiber of my being.

That said, there is no way I am going to see this movie.

That's it!! I was wondering where I'd seen him before and thought he was hot. Many thanks.

Whereas you might run into the Skeletor-chick on your ordinary chores.

Like taking out the garbage. She's probably rooting through the cans looking for some FOOD.

Speaking of Easter
 

There will be no such outrage. The Christian right is not offended by hours of graphic (in slow-motion with close-ups) violence. They are offended by Janet Jackson's nipple. (As are we all, but that's another issue)

Damn, Bilmore beat me to it.
