Sadly, I'm with you.

I own some of his movies--Braveheart, The Passion, The Patriot.... still thought he was one of the good guys...

..but after reflecting on his rage....and subsequent quotes he made against President Bush...and his predilection toward violent scenes...

...I know I will not see this movie....I don't care about this movie...

..and I don't really care for him anymore.

If I happen to like the movies an actor or director puts out, I won't let their political hangups become a hangup for me.
Mel's movies that he has stared in and directed have always been violent. Mad Max, Road Warrior, Ransom, Payback and even the really stupid movies he did with Danny Glover (another political genius). Mel's movies have always told us that it will be a violent world, it has been a violent world and it is a violent world. South Park even did an episode where he is shown as being crazy, before his rant for the LA police happened.
I'm looking forward to seeing this movie on dvd.
