I thought it would be ironic, and funny to show this musical on Holy Thursday, on the eve of the Easter weekend, and I did so without much thought. Well, it was ironic, and it was funny, but I hadn’t realized how interesting the story line was. Seems like, from the point of view of Judas (derived in part from Fulton J. Sheen’s book, The Life of Christ), Mr. Christ was a bit of an arrogant dick. Can I say that without getting struck down by lightening? Ouch!

Jesus Christ Superstar was another great MovieNight sensation. Thanks to all who came out!
