the passion of the christ

A controversial movie directed by Mel Gibson that came out in 2004. It is about the last twelve hours of Jesus Christ's life.

This shows the different views on this movie:

Christian Guy: Did you see The Passion Of The Christ? I loved it, was uplifting and now I love God more than ever.

Not-Religious Guy: I hated it, it was too bloody.

Aethiest: I didn't like it because it's just stupid Christians scaring children into being Christian.

Guy Who Does Not Exist: I'm pretty nuetral about the movie.

metrosexual

A straight male who has a feminine side (especially caring about appearances). It used to be that when a man acted like this, people thought he was homosexual.

I used to find it sad that any man with some nice traits like dressing well or being able to cook was considered homosexual, but now I know he's metrosexual.

Mad Mod

Character on Teen Titans TV show. All episodes concerning him were written when the writers were extremely high. Bizarre, but amusing. Probably insulting to British people.

Come here, my duckies!

The Incredibles

A movie produced by Pixar that came out in American theaters November 5th, 2004. It was directed by Brad Bird and voiced by Craig T. Nelson and Holly Hunter. The main characters are Bob Parr and Helen Parr (also known as Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl) and their children Violet Parr, Dash Parr, and Jack Jack. They are all superheroes.

The Incredibles recieved rave reviews due to it's beautiful animation and action sequences, wonderful plot, better characterization than many adult films, humor, and general awesomeness. Some people say that it's not as good as Pixar's previous movie, Finding Nemo, but I think it is the best animated movie I have ever seen.

411

Information on something, usually a person or event.

After this commercial break, we'll give you the 411 on the hip new singer, Bangle.

Where can I get the 411 on Katherine? She's totally cute, I want to get to know her better.

The newspaper gave me the 411 on the bombings. Now I know what really happened.

Iron Giant

A movie directed by Brad Bird about a very tall alien from space made out of iron who befriends a young boy during the Cold War. I believe it is set around 1957ish.

Iron Giant didn't do well in the box office, but it was praised by many critics.

monarchy

A form of government in which the head of goverment (a King or Queen) inherits the title.

Absolute Monarchy is where the King or Queen has absolute power and can do what he wants.

Constituitonal monarchy is when the King shares power with Parliament and must follow the rules of the constituition.

Originally, thousands of years ago, monarchy was so that one guy could control all and everyone would know who succeeded him. This way, there were no fights between people over things like laws or taxes because only one person decided that, and no fights over who would succeed him because it was his child. Unfortunately in many cases (I won't say most because that is an opinion) the ruler wasn't suited for the job and there were fights anyway. Because of this many countries either changed to Democracy or changed to Constitutional Monarchy.

Absolute Monarchy: Louis XIV of France. Now obsolete.

Constitutional Monarchy: The current government of England.
