Here in town we have one of those new neighborhoods designed after old neighborhoods but is still a long way from the center of town. People who live there seem to like it - I just wish people would stop building mini-downtowns and put money into real downtowns. However, thats not what this is about.
This particular area (Southern Village) has a movie theater. They sponsor outdoor films in the summer every Saturday. There is a big public area and I guess they string up a large sheet or screen (I haven't gone to any, details are not mine). While looking at this weekend's movie schedule for our area, I noticed that the outdoor movie this week is The Passion of the Christ.
Now I have not seen this movie, so again the details are not mine... but isn't this over 2 hours... subtitled from Aramaic... and pretty graphic? Maybe I am off-base but this doesn't seem like a 'summer outdoor movie' to me. Yeah, lets go sweat in 80 degree nighttime temps with high 70's dew-points, fight mosquitos, sit on grass and watch a violent movie thats in Aramaic. Hmmmmmm.
