I've gotta go to the bank on Friday and the store and a few places. No car. It's gonna hover around 14-16°. Sounds fun.

Good Movies / Re: Movies about Jesus Christ

Lotta' studio pics in the mid-20th were somehow Jesus-adjacent. I suppose Christian films or Christian-related films were good box office. THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII rather aggressively manipulated history to line up with Christ's trial before Pilate. I also remember thinking SPARTACUS (which I watched about 9 months back) was going out of its way to make Christian allusions, even though it predates the life of Jesus by a few decades. The Bible = $$$.

SINNERS isn't perfect - it takes its sweet time in the first half (to great effect, though) and then I felt like it rushes the second half at times. However, I will say I didn't mind the lack of development of the "bad guy" or bad guys, even (vampires and humans). This was a film squarely in the camp of its protagonists and focused on their experience, and in 2025/2026, I am okay with that. The Bad Guys have always gotten a lot of screen time and attempts at identification, and it never seems to make the world a better place.  So, ya' know, Stake 'em and let God sort it out.

My favourite review of the Melania movie is "Even if they showed this on a plane, people would still walk out."

The Greatest Story Ever Told(1965)

That's another one the apartheid censor board got stuck into 😕

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the censorship board had problems with Mary Poppins.

😳😄😆😂😅🤣😀😃😄

The one movie like this they had an issue with was, believe it or not, MY FAIR LADY. They were concerned about Audrey Hepburn's language at the horse race where she forgets where she is and yells "Move your bloomin arse!" at the horse.

The film was finally released, arse and all. 😉😉😎🐢
