Free Local Showing - "The Passion of the Christ"
If you live in the Permian Basin, you might be interested in knowing that First Baptist Church of Midland is offering a free showing of "The Passion of the Christ" in its worship center on Thursday evening, March 24. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the movie begins at 7:00. The public is invited to attend.
The movie will be projected on the church's two permanently installed screens. The projectors are new and very high quality; nevertheless, the picture quality and sound will not be equivalent to that in a movie theater. But, then, neither is the admission fee. ;-)
This is the original R-rated version, and parents need to consider this when deciding if their children should attend.
The church is located at the corner of Louisiana and Garfield.
Oh, did I mention that Rosalinda will be on hand for the showing?
Ah, just kidding. Sorry. I hope you weren't already on your way to the airport! ;-)

By some one in a zillion quirk, the way the comments page came up, only that first sentence was immediately visible. Now that was a shocker.
...because it's remotely possible she would be there.
I understand she has some close friends in Texas and after her role in "The Passion" she's supposedly become more religious. I've read gossip where she reportedly got very brusque with interviewers who started criticizing Mel Gibson and the film. Rumors perhaps, but still...
She is a free spirit and if someone she liked invited her, she just might accept.
Special celebrity guests notwithstanding, The Passion is an incredibly intense experience in a theater environment. Nothing comes close to the impact of that film. Nothing. You folks are lucky to have the opportunity again.

Heck, I'd pay to see The Passion on the big screen again!
...and it's free!
You've got Australia's fabulous scenery, a hard-core "come and take it" revolutionary flag, a Red-State president, and free screenings of The Passion!
Texas keeps sounding better and better.
