r4zz3nd4hcub3n: is the passion coming to wellsboro?
brianzo8: i dont know
brianzo8: i hope, i really want to see it
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: the bible profs had a panel discussion tonight in our chapel
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: it was really interesting
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: the more i think about the movie the more i cant stop thinking about it
brianzo8: thats awesome
brianzo8: you are getting me excited
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: its amazing how much the secular critics misunderstand it
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: i am reading all their reviews
brianzo8: after i saw kill bill, it wouldnt leave my head for weeks
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: this weekend i am gonna email them all and explain the truth to them
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: dont you dare compared kill bill to this film
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: this isn't a film, either. its completely unique
brianzo8: im not
brianzo8: just saying kill bill was so awesome, but so horrible/beautiful at the same time
brianzo8: i cant explain, it was the combination of best and worst things i've seen
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: meh. dont get me started
brianzo8: but hte images stayed in my mind for weeks
brianzo8: it was the goriest movie i've ever seen
brianzo8: it made me feel hip
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: why would you want to watch something like that
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: and what was its plot
brianzo8: dude....kill bill was a great film
brianzo8: it basically was a poser to all the old kung fu/anime flicks though
brianzo8: but thats what it tried to do
brianzo8: if you look at the old bruce lee movies and watch kill bill you'll notice how many things that are derived from bruce lee
brianzo8: 's movies
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: ah. so why is it so obnoxiously gory
brianzo8: its actually just exagerated gore...i.e guy gets his head chopped off, a fountain of blood sprays up 10 ft. for 10 minutes
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: so why would you want to watch that
brianzo8: its basically cheesy gore...in one part she takes on 88 azns at once and owns them all
brianzo8: its entertainemnt
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: exactly
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: people dont think about controlling what enters their mind
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: they think they should see everything for some odd reason
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: not you in specific
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: because i am gulty too, of course
brianzo8: i didnt know it was going to be like that
brianzo8: i expected gore, but nothing could prepare you for that
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: yeah but you have the free will to get up and leave
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: anyway, i'm not trying to condemn, i just think our culture's stance on entertainment is absurd
brianzo8: dude im just a movie buff
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: who isnt?
brianzo8: and there was no way i was not going to see it
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: thats what i mean
brianzo8: when QT directed
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: thats our culture's attitude
brianzo8: and i will mos def see volume 2
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: who doesnt watch movies, TV, and listen to music?
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: its like a necessity if you want to live in america.
brianzo8: i dont watch tvb
brianzo8: tv...besides watch seinfeld every now and then
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: neither do i, really
brianzo8: i dont see whats wrong with it
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: wrong with tv?
brianzo8: we are a society who cannot be entertained otherwise
brianzo8: no with what you said
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: yeah
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: and its a sad thing. that we are that mindlessly amused
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: a+muse= not think
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: muse = think
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: a = not
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: and thats american entertainment for you! sit back and shut your brain off, allowing any and all garbage to flow in freely. as long as it gets us to sit through ads, the producers will air it. because mindless americans sitting in front of a tv = $$$
brianzo8: ya but you need to take into consideration that when technology increases with the entertaining tangibles, theres more and more interest
brianzo8: such as tv's, dvds
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: all technology, in terms of entertainment, has done is brought us closer to reality.
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: but books have always done that
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: its just that books require mental work, whereas tv does not
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: i am not saying media is bad, i am saying its devolved into mindless trash
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: and we eat it up like its a simple fact of life. as if we have no choice but to set these worthless things before our eyes
brianzo8: i agree
brianzo8: but if they are there, it's impossible not to take part
brianzo8: in some way
brianzo8: know what i mean jelly bean?
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: no
brianzo8: for example: people who have never read the bible will see the passion of christ to learn more
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: because there are kids at cedarville that have never watched mtv in their entire life. and they feel very fulfilled
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: much more so than those who do watch mtv, i can assure you
brianzo8: is it possible they weren't allowed?
brianzo8: but mtv is trash
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: no people who dont understand the gospel or the biblical context will think the passion is nothing more than a bloodbath
brianzo8: i constantly tell my sister not to watch it
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: no its not that they werent allowed, its that they did not set it before themselves
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: their parents made the wise decision of raising them on the bible and not pop culture
brianzo8: thats not always a wise decision
brianzo8: sorry to say
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: no, it is always a wise decision. i would lay down my life for that decision. i have experienced what the world calls the right way and i will be the first one to proclaim that anything but the bible is trash.
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: call me a fanatic, i dont care. i know the truth
brianzo8: anything but is trash?
brianzo8: thats overboard
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: being raised on anything but the bible is trash
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: in that context
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: trash meaning, worthless, not necessarily disgusting or evil
brianzo8: alright, well if you werent so spiritual would you agree that parents who shelter their kids from things like rated R movies, bad music and things is a good idea? i know several parents that shelter their kids and they come out to be bad kids
brianzo8: no one you would know of course
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: well most christian kids do watch some R rated movies
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: they just, in general, dont want to rush out to every hip new movie and expose themselves to it
brianzo8: no no
brianzo8: you see
brianzo8: thats exactly what you think i do
brianzo8: when i say i am a movie buff
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: well i would say so, yes
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: i see a lot of hip new movies
brianzo8: that doesnt mean i am going off to see trash like 2 fast 2 furious or torque
brianzo8: mindless popcorn flicks are the ones i stray from dude
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: ok, i will believe you. but i got to go, nice talking to you, seeya later.
brianzo8: bye ye
brianzo8: bye
