There's serious enjoyment in just watching Nicholas Cage act these days. If he has the right hair I could see us watching it… It's basically a win-win because the Christian side will see it as spreading their message while the secular side will enjoy another dumb action movie with Nicholas Cage being insane. I'm saying the secret to bridging the culture gap you guys were talking about a page or two ago? Nick Cage.

I've seen loads of ads for Ben Hur but it just looked like another Gladiator retread and I've found just rewatching Gladiator tends to scratch that itch for me. I've never seen the original and had no idea there was meant to be any kind of Christian angle to it until just now. Not surprised that it bombed and honestly I'm surprised they're still greenlighting these huge historical or biblical epics. Don't they tend to lose money every time, at least for the past 15 years or so? (feels like post-Alexander they've always been failures except for Mel's Passion of course).

I see it pretty much as just being about Gibson being in the shittiest time of his life when he was being the shittiest person and had really lovely hangups about Jews especially now with everything that came out about him in the decade since. Passion plays were often precursors to pogroms. You get the people fired up about how the lovely Jews were lovely to our Lord and I kinda still can't believe he straight up revived it middle ages style like that.
