They could have Elton John's The Bitch is Back play during Mary's entrance.

I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.

During the sequel she could also see how Jesus has turned evil.

Are you referring to Christians as a "niche"?
No. But it was apparently originally made for churches, and not for the general public to watch (if you can believe the tabloids, anyway).

And technically, Christians are a niche. A big one, but still a niche.

No it wasn't. It was made for a general audiance. Otherwise, it wouldn't currently have the nation-wide release that it does.

What you really mean is that films that have a Christian subject matter are a niche.

Well if you want to go there, just remake Animal House with Jesus as Bluto Blutarsky. He was a guy witha taste for the vine, I remember one time that dude kept the tap running and running...and always made sure their were enough chips. He rocks.
