The Passion of Christ was a mega hit without Hollywood backing. He is alienating his normal conservative movie audience by these statements, because there is no appeal in this movie for a conservative audience. The appeal will be for those that see Bush as a fear monger. Its all about getting the right crowd in to buy tickets. Its going to bomb BIG TIME.
I haven't gone to a movie theater in YEARS....and at times like this I am so glad that none of these people have gotten my money.
What would Gibson and others have said it Bush acted like 9/11 was "no big deal"...and we had had another attack???
IMO, we need MORE reminders of 9/11, not less.
Wow, turns out the Mel is actually no smarter than that little fat Dixie Chick!! Who would have thunk.
