Somehow, I don't think Mel is shaking in his boots. I think is faith is strong than his shaking in his boots and he will overcome these people. If the truth hurts them, that is something they have to live with. The TRUTH always is, THE TRUTH, no matter how you try to reframe it.

The H'wood Left tried to make sure the film was never made -- he decided to make it anyway

They tried to get him to water it down -- he stuck to his guns

They tried to kill it by making sure no distributor would touch it -- Mel found an independent distributor and put up more of his own money

They tried to get the reviewers to pan it so people wouldn't see it -- Mel bypassed them all and got the pastors to review it for their congregations

They predicted it would flop -- it's having one of the hottest and most profitable opening nights ever

They hoped Mel would lose his shirt -- he'll come out of this as one of the richest Hollywood producers ever.

The Hollywood Left is GOING INSANE right now!

Great post!

Sounds to me like much the same I learned from the Bible. With God, all things are possible! Glad Mel was listening to Him!

Response to post 201: I heard this a.m. on the news that this movie made over $20 million yesterday! Anyone else hear numbers?
