re: #551 funky chicken
Damn. I went to see The Last Temptation of Christ with Willem Defoe, not the Mel Gibson one. The Mel Gibson one was just kinda torture porn with a religious premise from what I heard.
I can kinda imagine that flogging and crucifixion is painful without cinematographic evidence.
The Mel Gibson one drives home the point visually of what the crucifixion was like. I was impressed with the movie. However I haven’t been able to see it again.
