    Pretty poor choice ... both movies over-rated beyond belief.

    DVD for me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,488 ✭✭✭Goodshape


    I haven't seen the Jesus show yet so I'll probably check that out -- tough I doubt I'll be sat infront of a TV at the time anyway, so neither really.

    There's probably more laughs in The Passion.

    Do it!

    What? How come "Erotic deception" on Movies4Men doesnt make this poll?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,640 ✭✭✭Gillie


    Passion. Simply because I have never seen it!

    If it's a straight choice between the Passion and Starsky and Hutch I am gonna either have to go with secret option 3, the Karate Kid 3, or suicide.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,437 ✭✭✭Crucifix


    I haven't seen the passion, but I have seen some clips from the passion with Yaketty sax (benny hill theme) and amusing sound effects added in.
    As such, I don't think I can ever seriously watch that movie.

    Out of those 2 I'd pick Starsky and Hutch because I never want to have to sit through the passion again, really crappy film that made all it's money out of controversy. At least S&H has a couple of laughs, not good either though.

    Option 3 - Watch an actually good movie on DVD.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,219 ✭✭✭plastic membrane


    seems obvious to me....The Long Good Friday. Good christian values there, slags!

    I think I'll use the time to rewatch 'The Body Guard' with Whitney Huston and Gary Kemp

    the life of brian, a much more accurate description of the events of good friday


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,372 ✭✭✭✭Mr Alan


    you might not be ENTIRELY correct squire Gucci.

    BUT the Life Of Brian is probably a more enjoyable film alright!

    was watching happy feet last sunday on rte and really enjoying it too til someone pointed out it was King of Kings, and that the furry penguins on the iceberg was jesus giving his sermon on the mount, it really ruined my day, so i'll be avoiding passion for that reason, oh and cause it's massively depressing with its ultra violence, that said as a fan of Starsky and Hutch (Paul Michael Glaser and David Soul ) i won't be watching the catastrophe of a remake either.
    i think a lot of poeople have already mentioned the best option a dvd or life of brian


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,413 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    After reading JR Hartley's post and in the mood for being wildly off-topic.. i was listening to a podcast and here's a bit of trivia for you all i was completely unaware of:

    "Happy Feet" was directed by the same guy that made the "Mad Max" films! :eek:

    George Miller


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,968 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Are you sure its the same George Miller? (clicks link)

    SH|T! :eek: I thought it was the other one (Man from Snowy River etc)

    I for one will be watching a DVD. I do enjoy the Passion, simply for the gore. I recall seeing it in the cinema and laughing my ass off at the scene where the crow pecks the thiefs eyes out. Felt a bit out of place when people started turinging around to stare at me. I left singing Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

    I will dismiss both of them and read a book.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 178 ✭✭barrett1965


    I watched S&H, then switched ove rto The Passion.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    I the end I watched "Willow". It's a film about a 17 year old midget who already has a wife and two kids but no serious means of supporting himself. Pretty terrible tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,404 ✭✭✭qwertplaywert
