Poor Jesus

We just watched a couple episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia that we had on the DVR. When those were done - we started flippin' through the HD channels and landed upon Showtime HD showing The Passion of the Christ. Right at the scourging scene. The skin effects make-up is phenomenal. And no wonder the movie is so long - half of it is in slow motion. Matt told me the actor that plays Jesus got struck by lightning during filming, so my curiosity sparked and off to imdb I went and found this:
"James Caviezel spoke about a few of the difficulties he experienced while filming. This included being accidentally whipped twice, which has left a 14 inch scar on his back. Caviezel also admitted he was struck by lightning while filming the Sermon on the Mount and during the crucifixion, experienced hypothermia during the dead of winter in Italy. He also experienced a shoulder separation when the 150lb cross dropped on his shoulder. The scene is still in the movie."
and this:
"Assistant director Jan Michelini was also hit twice by lightning during filming."

So do you think maybe Someone didn't want this movie to be made??

After reading through some of the stuff on the imdb page, I said to Matt, "That's amazing..." and his reply was, "You know what's even more amazing? We flipped over to The Passion of the Christ after watching It's Always Sunny."
