My heart is broken...
 
For Jesus AND Judas.

Versus 03-28-2011 09:35 PM

My heart is broken from an empty pack of cigarettes.

DoubleK 03-28-2011 09:36 PM

I've changed my mind. The story of Jesus is probably one of the most beautiful stories ever conceived.

Versus 03-28-2011 09:41 PM

Okay. What about me, though?

DoubleK 03-28-2011 09:44 PM

Versus, cigs are one thing, but Jesus Christ Superstar is fucking genius.

Versus 03-28-2011 09:50 PM

Is it? I'll look into it.

But have you seen Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter? It has one of the best punchlines I have ever heard.

"It's Jesus time."

Saya 03-28-2011 10:01 PM

Just watched Jesus Christ Superstar, didn't you?

DoubleK 03-28-2011 10:02 PM

Yes. For the thirdish time.

Despanan 03-28-2011 10:07 PM

It is SO fucking good. There are so many levels in this thing.

DoubleK 03-28-2011 10:08 PM

This musical has so many layers and perspectives that you could do a serious study on this thing. It's actually important.

Despanan 03-28-2011 10:10 PM

Honestly, everyone needs to see this thing, like 3 times at least, you pick up on so much more with each viewing.

It is HORRIFYING and AWESOME for so many different reasons.

Saya 03-28-2011 10:11 PM

My dad is an atheist but its the only musical he really likes, growing up I found it weird that it explained the story of Jesus far more effectively than Sunday school or Bible study class did.

Despanan 03-28-2011 10:16 PM

I've got an bit of analysis coming.

It's really the best musical I've ever seen. Both acting, music and story wise.

This is show is genius.

Saya 03-28-2011 10:17 PM

Now I'm getting afraid you're just trolling. Be nice, its one of my favourites.

DoubleK 03-28-2011 10:18 PM

Stand the fuck by, guys. Eventually Desp is gonna drop some knowledge on you guys.

Despanan 03-28-2011 10:26 PM

This is not trolling. This show is one of the smartest works of art I've ever seen. It's honestly up there with Gaiman, and Shakespeare.

Stand by.

DoubleK 03-28-2011 10:26 PM

We had this really interesting thesis going on throughout the musical. I would have written an essay on this, but because of school and the scale of the thesis, I left it to a more... qualified writer.

Versus 03-28-2011 10:33 PM

Preparing to standby.

DoubleK 03-28-2011 10:36 PM

The main thesis. Jesus was just a religious reformer, one who challenged the authority of the Pharisees by attempting to make the temple a more communal experience in the midst of a social revolution. Within that revolution under the threat of brutal Roman authority from a slave nation would terminate to the creation to a messiah.

Fruitbat 03-28-2011 10:38 PM

In our school it was popular to sing "Jesus Christ, Superstar, whizzing round the corner on a Yamaha, did a skid, killed a kid, scrapped his balls on the petrol lid."

We were all class.

DoubleK 03-28-2011 10:41 PM

Stand by for some mind blowing conversation. Not only does the biumvirate of Desp and Kontan can troll our ways to your heart, we can also make you smarter.

Could you rephrase that last sentence?

DoubleK 03-28-2011 10:51 PM

Not "to" but "for" the creation of a messiah. Essentially, when John the Baptist was speaking of a man coming along and being greater than him, he was trying to give the people hope. He planted the seed of the messiah within his people and with that, their fever dream eclipsed the man Jesus by the imposed mythoes of Jesus by the desperate nation of the Hebrews at the time.

God damn it, I'm trying not to ruin this. Seriously, this is about to become a damned good discussion. Just wait for the essay that Desp is about to drop.

Versus 03-28-2011 10:52 PM

Roger, Standing by.

Saya 03-28-2011 10:53 PM

Hurry up, Despanan!
