A Man, Pushed Too Far
Tuesday, February 17, 2004
If you spend a fair amount of time on the Internet, every so often, you happen on something so wonderful that it just makes you thankful you were born a hateful asshole. Friends, I feel as though a honeyed drop of bile has squirted from the teat of the goddess Acrimony and hit me right in the kisser. It tastes like a bitter herb. Bitter and delicious.
So, without further ado and courtesy of Fox News, I present to you some quotes from actor Jim Cavaziel who plays J. Christ in the eagerly anticipated motion picture event, The Passion of the Christ. Enjoy:
"This is the greatest part I've ever had," he says. "I felt like it would be ridiculous not to work with a guy like Mel Gibson."
"They've got these thorns they tie on your head as hard as they can, and then there's a cross to carry that weighs 150 pounds. It feels like 600 pounds as the day goes on. Later they stick you up on a cross in 25-degree temperatures with 30-knot winds."
"We were preparing to shoot the Sermon on the Mount and three seconds before, I was hit by lightning. I knew it was going to happen. People started screaming and they said I had fire on both sides of my head and a light around me. I had locked eyes with people and it was very eerie because they made a weird sound - the kind of sound people made when they saw the jet plane run into the World Trade Center. It was a sickening feeling."
"If he'd said, 'Hey, I'm going to make an anti-Semitic film, would you like to join me?' I wouldn't have been part of a film like that."
"The sad thing about it all is that I'm the most Semitic-looking Jesus in history - Mel didn't want a blue-eyed, blonde Aryan Christ on the cross."
"The gal that plays Mary [actress Maia Morgenstern] is Jewish and her parents were in the Holocaust. Talk to her. There are Romanian and Jewish actors in this film who say unequivocally that this film is not anti-Semitic."
"I'm not saying that no one is going to do something stupid out there after seeing this film."
Oh, my God... I just came. Okay, Here's a link to the entire article. If you look, you'll find out that I BASICALLY POSTED IT IN ITS ENTIRETY! Everything this guy says is SOLID FUCKING GOLD!
Praise Jesus!
