Jeez Jesus




went to shoot the great passion play dress rehearsal last night. this thing is nuts. they have kids running around chasing whole flocks of sheep ("They're like two legged border collies" - our reporter). they've got camels and donkeys, a full on town that is three football fields long, and, of course, jesus.

but that's not who we were there for. it is the 40th anniversary, and the powers that be have revamped the script to include some more miracles and...drum role...SATAN.

so i was there to shoot the devil. getting ready, maybe a portrait, something different, but i was told by our handler that, "we don't feel comfortable focusing in on this young woman as the devil. plus, it's maybe a little controversial to have a woman in the role."

hey, you guys re-wrote the script. you guys included satan. you guys cast a young woman. what gives?

"blah, blah, blah, something about hannah montana, blah, blah, blah, NO"

i guess that's just showbiz for ya.

That would be hilarious if it weren't endlessly frustrating. Oh, who am I kidding, its still pretty funny :)

As an unmarried male trying to date, I think casting a woman as Satan is absolutely perfect.
