There would have been as many people there as were actually at Woodstock, I believe. This vast crowd of vampires around the cross, all thinking, 'man, this is something I'm going to boast about for centuries.'
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Of course, if every person who said he was at Woodstock was actually there....

I think the crucifixion was a day-game.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Hey, they had blankets back then too.

I suppose they could've passed as lepers. Maybe that's what Jesus was doing all the time. He wasn't curing lepers, he was hanging out with the risen-from-the-dead, perhaps to get some resurrection-wear tips.

Yeah, but didn't the sun hide its face for a good part of the afternoon? Of course, not so much fun for the vampires out cheering the proceedings when the cloud cover finally breaks.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
On a more technical note, how did we fare hit-wise during the premiere?

Um, er, they were up on the crosses for three days -- the centurions didn't take them down at night -- so vampires coming down to take in the sights while the crowds were asleep should be doable.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

They were up for three hours, not three days. The resurrection was a day and a half later.

Thanks for all the fish.
Would three hours be enough to kill someone? Wasn't this a form of execution?
(Or is Monty Python right and they got cut down once the crowd lost interest?)
