I won't be seeing "Passion"
So says prez candidate Fiona Walsh regarding Mel Gibson's movie "The Passion of the Christ". "To tell you the plain truth, I have a problem with the word "the" in the title. Not the first "The" but the second "the". I keep wanting to call it "The Passion of Christ" and it just bothers me there is an extra definite article in that sentence. It keeps throwing me. To be honest, I don't understand it's significance or religious bearing. And it pisses me off so I won't be going to see the movie. If he decides for the DVD edition to romove the second 'the' from the title, I'll consider buying it then. Maybe".
