Predictable Hollywood response, I suppose.

Earth to Hollyweird: You don't control film-making any more!

[SeeRushToldU_So]

You reckon Mel is rich enough to draw interest until can S'ocal Security?

[Benrand]

I thought the common thought was that because Hollywood can put out filth and all that nonsense, that all they cared about was the bottom line...

Guess it depends on whose ox is getting gored.

`What propelled him to make the movie about the passion of Christ?' " Mr. Medavoy said. "It makes me a little squeamish. What makes me squeamish about religion in general is that people think they have the answer: `I think my God is the right God.' How do you argue against that?"But movies promoting the Religion of Communism are just all-right with them!

[The Mayor]

hollyweird is afraid and that is a good thing!

The hell with them..

[Conspiracy Guy]

Poor Mel. When the pigs disown you for not being a pig, wring your hands incessantly.

[boxerblues]

All the more reason to go see it. What will they say & do when the film takes in record amounts of $$$$ and moviegoers?

[el_texicano]

"is making some of Hollywood's most prominent executives uncomfortable in ways that may damage Mr. Gibson's career."

As if Mel Gibson gives a rat's arse. Such arrogant pompous blattering from the NY SLIMES. They just DON'T GET IT!!!

[angkor]

calling on Mr. Gibson to repudiate his father's denial of the Holocaust

He's already done so, repeatedly. Heard it with my own ears.

Anyway Gibson got this one through without the cooperation of Hollywood, which he can continue to do in the future so long as his films remain compelling.

[SuziQ]

Ah, they wish!

[Paved Paradise]

I wonder what would happen if Mel Gibson and other non-Jewish film directors/executives came out ranting about them when they make their movies that support their beliefs. There have been hundreds of movies about the holocaust and Jewish issues and I have seen many and have been moved by them. These people are hypocrites. Too bad there's not a word that corresponds with their hatred of Christians that would have the same power as the word "anti-semitism."

[jtminton]

I'm pretty sure that after this, Gibson isn't going to have any trouble at all finding work or workers for anything he does. They are just trying to smear him.

[jwalsh07]

Here is a message for the Jewish mafia in Hollywood. You can't win this battle, the numbers aren't on your side. Probably the best thing to do is smack your head against the wall, wake up and smell the roses. It is talk like this that does more to damage Judeo/Christian relations than Gibsons movie could ever do.

[American_Centurion]

Nonsense!

Mel produced and directed this film, this film will make a huge profit, therefore Mel will have ample opportunities to produce and direct more films.

BTW when you produce and direct it is your option to cast yourself, another job Mr. Gibson is talented at.

It is obvious to me that Hollywierd need Mel more than Mel needs Hollywierd.

Earth to New York Times - Gibson Doesn't Care

--they just don't get it, do they?

[Brandon]

Utter blather. Hollywood's religion is money. If Gibson's film brings in big bucks (as it looks like it will), all the people quoted in this article will be on their knees praying for the opportunity to work with him.

""One question is, `What propelled him to make the movie about the passion of Christ?' " Mr. Medavoy said. "It makes me a little squeamish. What makes me squeamish about religion in general is that people think they have the answer: `I think my God is the right God.' How do you argue against that?"

True. Jesus speaks and ultimately acts out of a love and forgiveness that transcends what humanity practices as love and forgiveness. Mr. Medavoy should be happy that this is onscreen and hammered home to millions of Christians.

I think the left is realizing too, that we aren't listening to them. Their shrill drumbeat of name-calling and browbeating is now falling on deaf ears.

[SuziQ]

"People here will work with the anti-Christ if he'll put butts in seats." Mr. Lesher added

Yeah, but they'll avoid Jesus like the plague, unless it's a movie that trashes Him!

[4CJ]

Many in the relentlessly secular movie industry see his recent religious conversion — he practices a traditionalist version of Roman Catholicism — as another form of addiction.

ROTF! But actors/producers ingesting millions in cocaine are normal? Oil & water never mix - Christianity & Hollyweird are like light & darkness.

[Paleo Conservative]

If this movie and additional biblical movies by Mel Gibson, do very well, he'll be a major studio owner.
