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!
