If I happen to like the movies an actor or director puts out, I won't let their political hangups become a hangup for me.
Mel's movies that he has stared in and directed have always been violent. Mad Max, Road Warrior, Ransom, Payback and even the really stupid movies he did with Danny Glover (another political genius). Mel's movies have always told us that it will be a violent world, it has been a violent world and it is a violent world. South Park even did an episode where he is shown as being crazy, before his rant for the LA police happened.
I'm looking forward to seeing this movie on dvd.

Well, all I can tell you is that the previews creeped me out. I have always thought the destruction of those South American Indian cultures was a
good thing. I see no value in a society that lives on slavery and human sacrifice.
I know Gibson's movies have always been violent. I am, however, begining to feel that he is obsessed with it, and gets his jollies on luring others into watching it.
First he got a bunch of Republicans to watch "The Patriot."
Then he lured a bunch of Christians into watching "The Passion."
Now, apparently, he is luring multi-cultural kumbaya people into watching "Apocolypto."
And all the while he is laughing at all of us, because we are bankrolling his sick fascination with violence.
Count me out.

Well, if South Park say it, it must be true!!!
