Even during serious movies. I swear it's involuntary, but I don't wanna be in a packed theater and laughing while Jesus gets his ass kicked by the Romans. As for the anti-semitist angle...I don't know why people are bitching. Mel Gibson (while being a terrible actor) is a traditionalist christian so he's pretty much taking the bible word for word. In the bible the jews were ultimately responsible for Jesus' death. If they wanna get pissed at anyone, get pissed at the bible. Don't get pissed at the guy who read it.


actually GT...I thought you'd quite enjoy the movie and have probably have respect for it.

I don't make it a normal occurance to watch horror movies, but out of the ones I've seen, this was by far the worst. But in the same breath...it was an incredible piece of art. I can understand your concern though (about laughing in a packed theater)...try going to see a matinee when not as many people would be in there.
