James Cameron Disproves Jesus' resurrection in a new Discovery Channel special.

Dude, you're arguin' with HOME SCHOOLIN'. PD still thinks the world was created in 6 or 7 days, and that evolution is a giant myth!

God could have done it in one day, but he's no show off.

The problem with the prequels imo is that they placed little to no emphasis on the actual acting. It was secondary to the effects, which weren't that impressive either (both WoTW and LOTR totally outclassed them in that regard). I love Lucas, but it's pretty obvious he's not good with actors. To make matters worse, he didn't seem interested in having someone else direct them. Hell the script was still pretty sucky, but there's no doubt in my mind that the prequels would have been so much better if Spielberg directed them.

[Cheebs]

I could have sworn I read that the movie would pioneer a new form of CGI where the real actors are replaced  by it, and you wouldn't know they're not real

That was his other movie called Battle Angel that he was considering and would be that special all cgi, it is scrapped for now. This is some live action space opera film about aliens and lolz romance


EDIT: PD, Spielberg CAN'T direct them. Star Wars films are bared to be worked on by those in writers guild or directors guild by Lucas after they fined lucas and demanded pre-title credits. He wanted Spielberg to do ROTJ but Spielberg won't leave the director's guild. There are very few decent directors outside the guild.

[Flannel Boy]

Wrong again Phoenix. The problem with the prequels wasn't the acting. The problem sits with the the universe for allowing such abominations to be produced at all. Were I the universe, I would have collapsed on myself to prevent such a thing.

[Cheebs]

One thing that drives me crazy is the "lol ____ should have directed star wars", Lucas sucks as a director but I can respect him for his stance on the guild.

He tried to get both David Lynch and Spielberg to leave the guild to work on ROTJ but neither would, thus he got someone that was incapable of directing it.

Regarding the OP:

It will be funny to see a lot of plastic trash barrels in kentucky full of burning Titanic DVDs/tapes now because Cameron "preaches the devil's message."

Funny thing is, this will probably actually happen.

[Cheebs]

evangelicals dont own titanic. It had boobies in them, that is satanic enough.

You forget one key detail:

Evangelicals for the most part are hypocrites.

That means they do own the movie, but they will burn it now. A month or two later, the buy rate of Titanic will spike, because people will buy the movie back.

That's because they are not only hypocrites, but idiots as well.

JERUSALEM (AP) -- Filmmakers and researchers on Monday unveiled two ancient stone boxes they said may have once contained the remains of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, but several scholars derided the claims made in a new documentary as unfounded and contradictory to basic Christian beliefs.

"The Lost Tomb of Jesus," produced by Oscar-winning director James Cameron and scheduled to air March 4 on the Discovery Channel, argues that 10 small caskets discovered in 1980 in a Jerusalem suburb may have held the bones of Jesus and his family.

One of the caskets even bears the title, "Judah, son of Jesus," hinting that Jesus may have had a son, according to the film. (Watch why it could be any Mary, Jesus and Joseph in those boxes Video)

"There's a definite sense that you have to pinch yourself," Cameron said Monday at a news conference. He told NBC'S "Today" show earlier that statisticians found "in the range of a couple of million to one" in favor of the documentary's conclusions about the caskets, or ossuaries.

Simcha Jacobovici, the Toronto filmmaker who directed the film, said that a name on one of the ossuaries -- "Mariamene" -- offers evidence that the tomb is that of Jesus and his family. In early Christian texts, "Mariamene" is the name of Mary Magdalene, he said.

The very fact that Jesus had an ossuary would contradict the Christian belief that he was resurrected and ascended to heaven.

Most Christians believe Jesus' body spent three days at the site of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem's Old City. The burial site identified in Cameron's documentary is in a southern Jerusalem neighborhood nowhere near the church.

In 1996, when the British Broadcasting Corp. aired a short documentary on the same subject, archaeologists challenged the claims. Amos Kloner, the first archaeologist to examine the site, said the idea fails to hold up by archaeological standards but makes for profitable television.

"They just want to get money for it," Kloner said.

Shimon Gibson, one of three archaeologists who first discovered the tomb in 1980, said Monday of the film's claims: "I'm skeptical, but that's the way I am. I'm willing to accept the possibility."

The film's claims, however, have raised the ire of Christian leaders in the Holy Land.

Stephen Pfann, a biblical scholar at the University of the Holy Land in Jerusalem who was interviewed in the documentary, said the film's hypothesis holds little weight.

"I don't think that Christians are going to buy into this," Pfann said. "But skeptics, in general, would like to see something that pokes holes into the story that so many people hold dear."

"How possible is it?" Pfann said. "On a scale of one through 10 -- 10 being completely possible -- it's probably a one, maybe a one and a half."

Pfann is even unsure that the name "Jesus" on the caskets was read correctly. He thinks it's more likely the name "Hanun." Ancient Semitic script is notoriously difficult to decipher.

Kloner also said the filmmakers' assertions are false. "The names on the caskets are the most common names found among Jews at the time," he said.

William Dever, an expert on near eastern archaeology and anthropology, who has worked with Israeli archeologists for five decades, said specialists have known about the ossuaries for years.

"The fact that it's been ignored tells you something," said Dever, professor emeritus at the University of Arizona. "It would be amusing if it didn't mislead so many people."

Osnat Goaz, a spokeswoman for the Israeli government agency responsible for archaeology, said the Antiquities Authority agreed to send two ossuaries to New York, but they did not contain human remains. "We agreed to send the ossuaries, but it doesn't mean that we agree with" the filmmakers, she said.

Contact wasn't by James Cameron! It was by the guy who did FORREST GUMP AND BACK TO THE FUTURE!!

NO THIS IS NOT A SLAM DUNK, BIBLE STUDY SAY SO

This theory will never be definitive anyway.  And if it was, Christians would still stick their hands in the sand.  Jesus could descend from the heavens, hold a press conference, and say, "Dudes, I was just a man.  I had a kid.  I believe in peace.  I am not the son of God.  I just came back here to tell you all to STFU!"

... and people would still be like, "bu bu bu bu!"

[Van Cruncheon]

then they'd lynch some jews.
