Yes, of course.
The movie is headed for blockbusterhood. Attacks on it and on Gibson are only driving audiences into the theaters.
It is. I am considering going to the movies myself and I make it a rule not to go to movie theaters. The theaters and most importantly the crowd (and associated cell phones) SUCK here in Memphis. I went so far as to add a digital projector and sound system to my family room so I did not have to suffer that BS. We are well on our way to recouping the cost in dinners, tickets, and babysitter fees/
This movie will be like the epics from Charlton Heston. I can't wait!
