Perhaps this will help you some:

Hi, nice name. Vaughan is one of the greatest and least used names in the world.
As to the movie, I'd say avoid it. I saw it at the movies when I was younger and far more liberal, and regret it now. Even apart from the idolatry involved in it (emotional appeal based on physical representation), it contains quite a few directorial and Catholic tweaks which are just rubbish (Jesus invented chairs?!?!).
Definitely give it a miss.

We are agreed, perhaps I will name my firstborn child, God willing, Vaughan Vaughan.
As for the movie, I think I'm gonna have to pass on it. Good advice brethren. I appreciate it.

How did one get a tattoo of Jesus if they didn't know what he looks like? Just tattoo some preferred name under this picture and that's who it'll be then. Bob. Josh. Eddy. Of course, then, someone might think this person's homosexual, if it's a man.
You could have "House Parents are great people tatooed around it and say it's an old picture of me!

Actually if you put some round rimmed sunglasses on the tattoo looks like John Lennon.How did one get a tattoo of Jesus if they didn't know what he looks like? Just tattoo some preferred name under this picture and that's who it'll be then. Bob. Josh. Eddy. Of course, then, someone might think this person's homosexual, if it's a man.
Avoid it like the plague.
