"Do you think the bible is the greatest story ever told? I don’t. I think it ’s absolute pish to be honest. There is no plot to speak of, and it is impossible to warm to the characters. Should Christians read more before they voice an opinion do you think? What about some contemporary horror like Steven King, a bit of Sci-Fi by Asimov, or something more classic like a Charles Dickens story, a little Mark Twain, or one of Jane Eyre's? They’d be in a much better position to judge the merits then. I just feel the bible gets off to a really bad start introducing that God monster at the very beginning instead of building up the suspense till the end. It would have been better if you only found his scary footprints next to the skeletons, or his teeth marks in the partially eaten children like in Jaws. Once you actually see it is only a badly articulated rubber God it just spoils it. Plus, the hero only appears right at the end, and they bump him off about eight pages later. What is the point of that? I could understand writing him out if you wanted to cram in some sex scenes or something, but there aren’t any normal heterosexual ones. And if you do manage to stick with it out of sheer bloody mindedness, just as you think it is building to a spectacular climactic end of the world scene, it doesn’t. People just start wandering about. What a swizz. It’s all a bit Channel 4 for my tastes. I did quite like the humorous bits like the The Garden of Edam I suppose, but overall I think Aesop makes a much better fist of that sort of thing. They should include some of his stuff, like ‘Why The Bears Eat Honey’ or ‘How the Spider Lost His Cock’ and stuff like that. I thought the tree of life part was clearly allegorical in the sense that it’s made up, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil is a simple metaphor for something that never happened. I believe the talking snake bit though, because I saw one on Harry Potter and the Temple of Doom."

 

Amused me quite a bit.

I enjoyed making this film, although id have liked it to be more X-rated, me and a few famous naked girls would have made it much more enjoyable for me.. The Passion of ChrisT has an X-rated feel to it so i was very disappointed when they stripped me and nailed me to a cross, im up for trying new things but that took the pee really I didnt really like the fact that everyone kept talking in a funny language i couldnt understand, they should learn to speak English the ignorant feks..

s'a horror with 'god' in it, apparently.

 

language thing...think it's an artistic thing about adding "depth" to the film or something.
