Damian,
It was great to see you on Easter. I hope you had a great time and got to catch up with a few folks.
btw, I think my favorite pic is Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter just 'cause I know Jesus was probably really good at the martial arts. And, of course, he didn't like vampires.
It was great to see you too, Tuck. It was also nice to see Maricel, your children and a lot of other people in the Study Center community that I really miss. Like I said, I'm gonna try to keep coming each week from now on so hopefully I'll see you again real soon.
I have to admit that I am actually curious about the low-budget cult film Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. I always figured that if anybody could kick a vampire's ass it would be Jesus.
As the ads for LIFE OF BRIAN said, "he's not the Messiah. He's just a very naughty boy." The actual Jesus Christ in LIFE OF BRIAN was played by Kenneth Colley (trivia: the Pythons originally wanted to cast George Lazenby). Still, fun to see him and the Vampire Hunter Jesus interspersed with the more serious versions.
Hi Damian,
I've posted a link to your post on various images in film etc of Jesus re a Christian post. I hope this is ok - FD
