I'm sure Mr. Gibson is shaking in his boots. < /sarcasm>

The blatant jealousy is mind-numbing. I saw the "Passion" last night. Hollywood doesn't have the class, vision nor talent to come within lightyears of producing a film that will even come close.

I haven't seen the film yet, but what do you think the odds are of The Passion receiving Oscar nominations next year?

Not today's Hollyweird, true. But the old Hollywood did turn out some really terrific films with religious themes once upon a time. The Robe, Ben Hur, The Song of Bernadette, It's a Wonderful Life, The Sound of Music, Carousel, and the one where Cary Grant plays an angel named Dudley, all come immediately to mind.

Are you saying the current hollywood high art genre of potty humor is beyond your intellectual capacity?

At first it confounded me, but once I realized Ben Stiller is no less than a modern day Charlie Chaplin with perpetual intestinal problems, I'm prepared to hail their genius.
