…this description: “[Crystal] joked that for the first time, the show was being simulcast in Aramaic, a poke at ‘The Passion of the Christ,’ Mel Gibson’s divisive religious film that took in $117.5 million in its first five days. The movie was done in Aramaic and Latin, with English subtitles.”

So now it’s official: The media shorthand for Gibson’s “Passion” will be “divisive religious film.” Wanna bet a Nexis/Lexis search of “The Last Temptation of Christ” doesn’t turn up a SINGLE story with a similar description of the film.
