Anyone ever seen it? It is an awesome movie! The only problem I had with it was the Constant use of the F-word. Other then that, it was a good movie! A must see.

Never heard of it.....

Hahaha, Sorry, I forgot I alreayd asked about it

So what's it about?

I just wanted to know who saw it. Good movie. Worth the rent.

It's trash.... :-X

Have you finally seen in? What makes you think it was trash?! It is one of the greatest cult classics ever made!

Well, thank you for filling me in one complex process your go through to figure out what is trash. ::)

Well, thank you for filling me in one complex process your go through to figure out what is trash.

My apologies! What seemed simple to me is apparently complex to you.  ;)

Note the date? Jan. 15th...

That was the 16th of Jan.

THEN....
Two months later..... And you asked if I had seen it... ::)

So to figure out that it was 'trash'; the process I went through for that was.... to see it..... ::)

Sorry for making it too complex for you!  ;D

Um… well, thanks for answering my first question (even though it was rhetorical and all. It was the thought that counts  ;) ). Now please answer the one I asked right after it, and the question I was referring to when I aksed you to clarify: What makes you think it was trash?

I hope this post is clear enough for you. ;D

How about this....
MPAA Rating:   R for strong violence, language, and sexual content.

Funny you should say this.... ;D Let me see, two Catholic brothers....

By the way, The Rocky Horror Picture Show also has a 'cult' following.... ;)

See, that is ALL you had to say.

I don't know what the sexual content part what about ,I still haven't figured that part out!

Look on the birght side, there is on magic used in the movie ;D

So glad it met with your approval.... :P

You ARE kidding, aren't you?  ::) Willem Dafoe, in drag, trying to 'sidetrack' someone? Willem in bed with his lover? Oh, never mind.... ::)

And the even brighter side is how they portray Catholics... ;D

I wouldn't call eitehr of those sences sexual. Sorry. :( Defoe pulling a Bugs Bunny. not my idea of sexual content.

*sigh* Never mind....

"What makes you think it was trash?"

Did you not say it contains the "_" word? Is that not enough garbage to make it trash?

Nope. ;)

Ugh. Don't see it, those of you who haven't.
It is not worth the about two precious hours of life you'll lose.

And he couldn't have 'pulled a Bugs Bunny', because Bugs Bunny isn't gay.

Boondock Saints is amazing.

If you think it's trash due to its MPAA rating, the homosexual behavior of Defoe's character, the language, or the violence, then you're obviously either incapable of or unwilling to look deeper into the message and the philosophy of the movie.

You where making a good case, then you ended it with l337-speak.

But you are right, it takes a pretty shallow person to be offended by seeing an actor in bed with another actor. Just in bed, mind you, not sexual behavior took place on camera. The movie had a message. A better one then, say... Left behind. ::)

What is with all the offending all the time? That is the real reason no one likes us. It isn’t because we speak the truth, is it because people have to walk on eggshells to please Christians. Christians are always whining about something.

But you are right, it takes a pretty shallow person to be offended by seeing an actor in bed with another actor. Just in bed, mind you, not sexual behavior took place on camera.
Just in bed..... him and his lover. Oh yeah... and him in drag xxxxxxxxxxx to use his feminine wiles?  ???

The movie had a message.
Yup. Serial killing is okay as long as you're Catholic?  ;)

A better one then, say... Left behind.
You really do have a big hang-up about Left Behind.  ???

What is with all the offending all the time? That is the real reason no one likes us.
Is it important to you for people to like you?

It isn’t because we speak the truth,
I can definitely see where that would be a problem for you!

is it because people have to walk on eggshells to please Christians.
Or maybe because professed Christians are too worried about being liked.  ;)

Christians are always whining about something.
Wow. So that's the real issue? Sorry, I couldn't find that in God's Word......

John 17:13 "I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.

Which was, as we said before, done in a bugs bunny fashion.



I wish. But no, the main message would be what is lawful isn’t always good, and was is good isn’t always lawful.



The books- trash
The movie- trash
The doctrine- extremely unbiblical... and trash

What’s not to     ? ;D



When we are getting mad at each other, we are getting mad at someone else. Do you think someone on the outside looking in admires this?



Right... ::)



Yeah, that sounds like it!




Exactly. Nothing to be sorry about, you are correct. Not at all in the word of God. But we do it all the time, and I know people who arn't Christian because of it. A real issue? Maybe not to you.

*sigh*

                                                                                   
       Tibby:
     No I have not nor will I. Why, the reason is in your post "Constant use of the F-word."

1PET 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
1PET 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord [are] over the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord [is] against them that do evil.
1PET 2:12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by [your] good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

       

So now there are words that are inherently evil? Did I miss that memo? ::) Was I asleep for that vote? Wake up up that one, I might have been a swing vote! ;D

Im sorry to hear you liked it Tibby, lol. I couldn't watch it after the first 25 min's. The vulgarity was really bad. I kept apologizing to Jesus in my head when he'd say the F word or any other cuss word and it was every OTHER word that came out of their mouths. So I just couldn't try to apologize & then watch it ya know? Normally I really like William Defoe, but this one..Nah.

The man was nailed to a tree. He has seen and heard everything there is ever and will ever be to see and hear. He made the planets then paved out their orbits. I do not believe one word that is "evil" by the FCCs standards will phase him to much. ::)

     Since when has Christianity become a democrecy, the last I knew it was a theocracy GOD Rules, no voteing. We are to stay away from even the pretence of evil.


      So Jesus is just a man to you, and as to FCC I don't care what they say I follow my Saviour,And GOD. :'( :'( :'(

First of all, that was sarcasm. But, if we are to take was I said literally... then for what you said to apply in this situation, we would have to assume that this word we are referring to was chosen to be evil by God, and that you have the right to speak for God in the first place, by telling us what things he has chosen to be evil.



Good, it appears we all know the truth. First of all, what I said was not addressed to you. Secondly, nothing I said even resembles what you just posted. If you are going to answer someone else’s reply for them, at least do it correctly. ::) Would Jesus put words in peoples mouth? I think not. If you are going to follow him, live by his example, and stop trying read into things that aren’t their.

1.) Don't like the swearing? Don't worry! Those words didn't exist when Jesus was around. ;D (Note - this is a joke.)
2.) Don't like the violence? Don't worry! The Bible is full of it, too. :) (Note - this is not a joke. I like 1 Samuel 15:3 in particular.)

Again, if you can't see past the language and the violence to the heart and philosophy of the movie, then you really do have a few issues to work out.

Of course, just my two cents.

YIKES!!!  I agree with Neo! Someone take my temperature!  ;D

Neo: Actually, I've never seen the movie, but your two cents is exactly how I feel about a lot of novels I read and movies I watch.

So, what you are saying is, when you watch movies and read novels, you judge not what the words are, but what they say?

Tibby - ha-ha - you're a funny guy.  ::)  :D
I judge a lot of things.  I judge whether or not it's safe to cross the street.  I judge whether a person is innocent or guilty of a crime.  I judge whether or not I should wear a jacket in the mornings.  I judge whether liberals are mentally ill or just morons.  ;D
I judge actions and reactions.  
What I am unable, unqualified and unwilling to judge is what is in a person's heart.
'nuff said???
  :)

I wish more Christians felt like you do!!!

Whoa! Not me! I know me all too well!  So often, because of the guilt I feel, it's all I can do to address Jesus in prayer - I am SOOOO unworthy!  Praise Him for accepting me as I am through my faith in Him!
Tibby - do you sometimes feel as I do, in that I wish I could suffer and die for Him in return?  I know it's not possible for either of us...  just something I occasionally think of... He is so wonderful...

Actually, I posted on this on my website the other day. Some friend of mine were saying what you where saying. I believe all to often we look about ourselves as pieces of feces that god sprinkles magic dust on the make us special. I believe we are perfect. The Bible calls us "Fearfully and wonderfully made." We are not feces, we are beautiful pieces of art work, that overtime get a little dusty, and need a little bit of a cleaning.

That’s my 2 cents :)

Nope - not gonna argue with you on that one.  I think you are stating fact, whereas I was stating feeling (how unworthy I feel).

Nope - can't argue.  Thanks for the reminder.

Well, you are a woman, so that is expected. :P

;D ;D ;D Just joking.  :-*

You're welcome, any time. We get so bogged down in the deep stuff, something we forget the basics.  :)
