I want to. Every time I go to the video store, I look at it on the shelf and I try to get the courage to rent it, but I always chicken out. Maybe next time.
Mel doesn't care he's been snubbed by Hollyweird. He's happy how many people turned out to see the film.
I think Mel's award will come from a higher power.
He's even happier that many lives were touch by it.....IMO money does mean as much to him as the witness he was able to share.
I've long said that Mel Gibson supports Mel Gibson.
I have not seen the movie although I know folks who have and found it quite moving.
I reckon Mel is glad for the money, and cares not a whit for the award.
Hear hear.
Steven Speilberg?
yeah, naturally, this higher power is 20th century fox. their rights to distribute the dvd means a cash cow (sort of like a false diety, something mr gibson should be familiar with) for him and everyone that worked on the film. it's obvious that mel gibson was dealing with hard times creating the movie, but he knew well that the payoff would be great. so great indeed that he pulled out last minute his deal with mattell and passion of christ dolls and playsets. he would have made a whole lot more money if he did, though, but he isn't one to be greedy.
How do you know who Mel Gibson supports?
I happen to know Mel Gibson through his wife and children, and he is one of the most thoughtful and caring people that there is!
He supports Mel Gibson.
Have you seen him under a bridge lately begging for change,
since you know him so well? I rather think not.
You ain't an actor-worshipper are you?
Uh, that's invested.
most of what he had.
You are his financial manager, I presume.
He desreves
No such word, but please try again in english.
Look. Successful actors may be good or bad.
That does not make them wise or relavent.
I thought it one of the best films ever. I usually don't enjoy religious movies even though I am a Christian. They are usually poor quality. This one definitely was not one of them. My dh and I were both speechless after watching it. We didn't speak all the way home.
"I don`t care what hollywood does, says, thinks, or whatever. I guess that is why I am not offended by their actions. Just snub their movies, you will feel a whole lot better."
Rush said that Mel Gibson did not send the movie to the academy. He didn't market it to them, either. He wasn't looking for any awards for this.
Well, then, folks, it is time to put our money where our mouths are and stop going to the movies..........except on the rarest of occasions. We can also discontinue watching the awards shows.
Enjoy worshipping your movie star.
I'm sure he appreciates you.
this comes after the tv Oscars. Mel Gibson won the PEOPLEs CHOICE AWARDS,for The Passion of the Christ, THE PEOPLE choose!
But Hollywood did not even had the decencey- to give it at least ONE award! So they say ,'Who cares what the people are saying we just won't care- and so snubbed any type of acknowledgement. How about, we the people, just turn off all those tvs and stop going to the movies and then when, we the people- snub Hollywood maybe they will learn, not to be sooooo
unfair and down right childish -they could have given it a least one award!!!!
