I didn't see it. I much preferred the version which had Willem Dafoe in it, The Last Temptation of Christ, which, at the time, was quite controversial. Was it Martin Scorsese? Having checked it was, after Nikos Kazantzakis's book.
In the series, Lives of Jesus, I'd recommend Pier Paolo Pasolini's Gospel According to Saint Matthew, and Denys Arquand's Jesus of Montreal... (respectively Italian and Canadian directors)
A group of actors put on an unorthodox, but acclaimed Passion Play which incites the opposition of the Catholic Church while the actors' lives themselves begin to mirror the Passion itself. (Jesus of Montreal)
The life of Jesus Christ, his journey through life as he faces the temptations that all humans face during their lives, and his final temptation upon the cross. (The Last Temptation of Christ)
The life of Jesus Christ according to the Gospel of Matthew. Pasolini shows Christ as a marxist avant-la-lettre and therefore uses half of the text of Matthew. (The Gospel According to Saint Matthew)

I didn't see it and I really don't plan on seeing it. I couldn't care less if someone watches while eating popcorn. I don't really think it's suitable to watch it while eating popcorn for some reason, but that's just me. I'm not even a religious person at all and I said that.
I did watch The Passion of the Jew (South Park episode) and it was really good. I'll be honest, I fell asleep during the middle of it the first time I watched it. I watched it again and I watched all of it.

Pop corn is a must have when watching a film in a cinema.
Especially when the film is about a something i hold little interest in(Or in this case, a moderate dislike of).
Anywho, why would eatting ANYTHING be a bad thing while watching this film?
Its about religion, so what? I'm sure people sometimes eat while reading a bible.....

I agree completely except they MUST use real butter...I drive 45 minutes out of my way to go to the one theatre in Silicon Valley that uses real butter (and they don't have 3-D grrrrrrrrrrr) The other stuff makes me barf as soon as I smell it and I have to have popcorn with my movie.
I have actually written to via snail mail/email and also by phone all of the threatres in the area imploring them to use real butter instead of that fake processed crap.

We eat our popcorn here with salt on it... Butter? Now that's fattening, lol.
