Passionless
I thought about seeing a movie tonight, and the theatre I passed was showing The Passion. I was tempted.
Then I remembered: the whole thing's in Aramaic. So I'd be watching a movie in Aramaic with Japanese subtitles. I don't speak Aramaic, and of course, my college education in this language didn't include such words as 'crucifixion' or 'savior.'
Paying 1800 yen for the privilege of completely failing to comprehend a movie simply didn't appeal.
