The Hollywood Left will be after Mel. Not only did he persist in making a movie they didn't want him to make, he's making the unforgivable offense of having it be a BLOCKBUSTER

[been_lurking]

"It doesn't matter what I say. It'll matter what I do. I will do something. I won't hire him. I won't support anything he's part of. Personally that's all I can do."

And so.... He's making a fortune without your help (and without having to give you a slice of the profits.) That's what really chaps these fellows.

Mel Gibson's provocative new film, "The Passion of the Christ," is making some of Hollywood's most prominent executives uncomfortable in ways that may damage Mr. Gibson's career.

I hope the vicious Hollywood nancyboy mobsters do just that....they'll make "executives American Christians uncomfortabe in ways that may damage Mr. Gibson's their careers".

[Doctor Don]

Mel Gibson may lose his last penny and make his last film....
but he will be eminently successful and complete because he has honored God and His gift to the world. I will share my last dollar with Mel Gibson!

"[H'wood Bigs vow revenge]

Let's beat them too the punch...we should - and suggest that all of our friends do the same - see Mel's movie, not once...but TWICE, or take a friend.

Then, when the DVD comes out, buy not one, but TWO.

This movie is already destined to be a blockbuster, so let's really knock the h'wood weirdos a loop, and DOUBLE the impact.

Mel deserves to make a good profit on this movie, just for the crap he's having to take from all the lefties. And nothing tells a liberal to "eat sh*t and die" quite like money does.

[King Prout]

reading this article, filled with one after another non-sequitur, one after another smug and self-contradictory statement, fills me with an urge to express myself fully concerning these bellyaching backstabbing people.
An urge I cannot fulfill, lest I be banned.
So, I must rest content with a very loud and sincerely state "JUST DAMN!"

[Zack Nguyen]

If the movie makes money he can do whatever he wants.

[Dionysius]

Another, more famous person considered religion an addiction -- Karl Marx' "opiate of the people". These secularists merely hate what they fear. Mel Gibson may never win another Oscar, but he won't be out of work. His movies are financially successful, unlike the precious outputs of liberal darlings such as Spike Lee, Altman and Meathead Reiner. Money will ultimately tell the tale.

More whining from the NY Slimes ping...

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

This is the city that will honor Leni Reifenstahl in the Oscar ceremony this year? That awards Roman Polanski?

[paleoagrarian]

Is Hollywood playing right into a stereotype or what?

[CharacterCounts]

"He put his own money where his mouth is. He invested in himself."

The unforgivable sin of Hollywood and the left in general.

[mathluv]

I loved the comment he made to Bill O the other night - something along the line that anyone who has a script about religion will be getting a lot of attention - everyone will want to do one now.

[Southern Federalist]

Quite apart from all the very interesting issues raised here about secularism and faith in our society, isn't what we are seeing at the theaters across the nation in part the demonstration that Mel Gibson doesn't need these people to make big, big movies that gazillions of people go to see? Does anyone really think that after this movie and the response it's getting, Mel Gibson would have trouble getting investment and distribution for any movie he wants to make, even if it's a remake of No Time for Sergeants?

[aruanan]

Hollywood is a close-knit world, and friendships and social contact are critical in the making of deals and the casting of movies. Many of Hollywood's most prominent figures are also Jewish.

I don't suppose it's ever gone through these folks' minds that their Hollywood culture could become as dead as that of the Incas or Aztecs.

[Doctor Raoul]

Hollywood hates God almost as much as Hollywood hates America.

[tracer]

Screw the Hollywood Left. There are more of us than there are of them, and they may yet taste the boot of econmic backlash in their venom-spewing mouths. But, hey, at least they're not anti-semites.

This kind of crap, the legislating courts, and the "gay marriage" thing may just be the last straws to energize and galvanize a dormant albeit fed-up middle America into purifying itself though the vote, the power of the purse, and the general repudiation of the liberal cancer by a society that hopefully still is One Nation Under God..........

[Centurion2000]

First he does Passion : Jesus Christ.
Then he can do Moses .... and other figures .... and he could clean up with a Revelations film that was biblically accurate.

[Tempest]

Mel Gibson is a brave man.

[Caipirabob]

From the book (and the movie...a line that stuck in my head)

Jesus: No man is greater than his master. If they persecute me, they will persecute you...

[ClearBlueSky]

Is this the same Hollywood that has Scientologists spouting off every chance they get? The same one with all the liberals raving against censorship; where Richard Gere praises the Dalai Lama, everyone is proud of their latest hot 'cult' and the rest wear their atheism like a badge?
It's not about RELIGION- it's about CHRISTIANITY.
God works in mysterious ways- Mel Gibson is the latest.
