No spoilers, but holy shit would the same result be amazing to behold. Catholics around the world would instantly explode a la Scanners.

Didn't one of them explicitly ask his colleagues not to do that?

Well, he was one of the more conservative ones anyway, I'm glad they didn't pay attention to him.

If you're thinking about watching it - it's a good movie! I mean, it's got Ralph Fiennes, so there's really no way for it to be bad. But it's actually also good apart from him.

And obviously since it's got Monica Bellucci.

Ah, crap. I thought I could get away with not looking it up. Leaving original intact for my shame.

Modern religion is basically just cosplay with delusional extra steps anyway.

At least it's not "Weekend At Bernie's."

I think they already do that with the corpse tour, no?

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

It was either that or "Porky's"
