his profits will exceed $200 million

That's definitely "F U money." When you have that kind of money, you can tell even Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen, "F U."

Mel has achieved escape velocity. He doesn't need those people for anything. They can take their toys and go home for all he cares.

Good for him. Who needs Hollywierd any more? The only movies I've seen in the last four months are RotK and a special screening of Army of Darkness.... "Come get some!"

I have always wanted my own pile of "F U money." :(

"Mel has achieved escape velocity."

Great line !

The headline gives the impression that the Hollywood moguls;
1) have control over Mel Gibson, and
2) that Gibson gives a rats ass.

At one time perhaps they (and he) did, but no more. He made that perfectly clear in the Sawyer interview.

MESSAGE TO HOLLYWOOD: There is something, and someone bigger than you. And here's the scary part. Given the way Hollywood mimics successes, guess what type of projects your stockholders will demand you make. Enjoy.

Think of this; "Passion" is about religion and worse Christianity, has no english speaking parts, is subtitled, has no "stars.", and will likely earn more than anything, ever. Hollywood's universe is about to change. Get used to it.

Heck, Nicky Old Boy, I got myself $2.97 in my pocket and I'm telling them that.

If soft core pornographers such as Katzenberg and Geffen actually spent some time reading the Gospels instead of spitting on them, they might even understand what Jesus was saying through Matthew and how it could well apply to Mel Gibson.

"If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; if not, let your peace return to you. Whoever will not receive you or listen to your words - go outside that house or town and shake the dust from your feet. Amen, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gommorah on the day of judgement than for that town."

Matthew 10: 13-15.
