Incidentally, the line "His blood be upon us and our children" was not cut from the film, as Gibson has said.

Vermes is, of course, a fluent Aramaic-speaker, and notes that all Gibson's done is to...

If you're going to call someone a 'd!ckhead' and 'a dense monkey' you might want to try and spell 'intellect' correctly.

Just a suggestion. :)

That's fair enough. I think it's an amazing story, too, and I'm also very much looking forward to seeing it. We can both agree on that, at least.

He did two or three albums on Real World, yes. Now his nephews are signed to Real World (or they used to be, anyway) and you can get their albums anywhere. They're called Rizwan Muazzam Mujahid Ali...

"It doesn't matter to me" isn't quite the response I was hoping for, I have to admit. I was hoping for a defence of Gibson's casting on the grounds of theology, or film theory, or Middle Eastern...

Yeah. He died in the hospital on Fulham Palace Road in Hammersmith, west London. Very sad. I think it was a heart attack: he was very, very fat at the end.

I didn't read them because they're boring, and if you posted them they're clearly not going to be critical. I want to see the film but that means making my own mind up.

And the thread on...

Love me. Walk with me.

Film my biopic. Cast Johnny Depp. He'd be good.

Bloody hell, has Mel Gibson been collaborating with Michelangelo?

Crikey. The man has a gift.

Cool. And I'm going to cast Hend Sabri as Nancy Reagan. And I'm going to claim historical veracity: Reagan is going to be a vicious idealogue with incipient Alzheimer's, who talks gibberish, which...

That's quite right. But people from the Middle East do not look like people from northern Europe.

[edit: added the word 'look']

Jesus was a genuine historical figure. This is a film that purports to historical accuracy. Jesus could not have been white. The actor cast as Jesus should not have been white.

Oh Jesus.

White people living in Israel today have their immediate origins in central and eastern Europe. Israel was founded in the 1900s. I'm sorry but the son of God wasn't white.

I don't give a zebra's tit about Braveheart; I was replying to you. You start the thread.

But it was still historically inaccurate to the point of dishonesty.

And Jesus, in this film, is still white.
