"I'M GETTING TOO OLD FOR THIS 'NOT PLEASED' SHIT"
or
AS LONG AS MONICA BELUCCI'S ALRIGHT...


It appears that God has spoken regarding Mel Gibson's upcoming vanity/Christ movie The Passion:
The actor who plays Jesus in Mel Gibson's film The Passion of Christ has escaped injury after being struck by lightning during filming.

The incident, in which The Rock and The Count of Monte Cristo star Jim Caviezel did not sustain an injury, is the second bolt to hit the set of the movie in Italy.

The film has drawn complaints from religious leaders. Jewish leaders say it suggests Jews were responsible for Christ's death. Conservative Catholics who have seen the film have called it a powerful rendering of the hours leading up to Christ's Crucifixion.

The crew was on a remote location a few hours from Rome when the storm occurred.

"I'm about a hundred feet away from them," producer Steve McEveety said, "when I glance over and see lightning coming out of Caviezel's ears."

Both Caviezel and his assistant director Michelini were struck. The main bolt hit Caviezel and one of its forks hit Michelini's umbrella.
Keep in mind that nobody was struck by lightning during the filming of Dogma, so that should give you an idea of God's Catholic-interpretation-of-the-gospel of choice.
