Matthew 5:10-12 (NKJV) Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 "Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

I don't think Mr Gibson will have to worry.
My wife and I have both agreed that we want to see this movie.. in a theater. We haven't been in one for 4-5 years, but we feel that this film is worth the money and the time to go see rather than wait for it to "come around" to rental.
Hollywierd can go stuff themselves.

The only thing Hollywood respects is money. This movie is going to make a pile of it.

Mel Gibson isn't going to have to worry about getting someone to finance or distribute any movie he wants to make ever again.

I'll bet my bottom dollar that those Hollywood whores will realize the success of this movie and try to duplicate it over and over and over again.

I don't know how successful they'll be however.

"Now they're threatening Mel Gibson."

One could see this coming.

Mel will rise above it, he has the success and resources to make his own movies the way he wants. The box office money will follow him.

Mel has done so many popular movies it is hard to imagine he would be cast out for one, especially if it has boxoffice success. He might end up owning Hollywood instead.

What Hollywood (and the rest of the mainstream media) doesn't seem to realize is that their panning of the movie only helps its cause. Those who plan to see this movie are the same people who consistently avoid most of Hollywood's trash.

Religion remains a sensitive issue with people and most true believers now understand they straddle a fine line between evangelism on the one side and tolerance on the other.

This is a movie, not a call-to-arms; some would have you believe otherwise.

I wouldn't worry too much about Mel Gibson's future in Hollywierd,or anywhere else. He a fine actor and a good man from what I can see. I watched one of his recent interviews and he was aware of whose toes he might be stepping on in making his Passion film. which I and almost everyone I know wants to see.
Seems the big boys in tinsel town hate it when you don't show them the proper amount of fear and reverance.

You Go Mel..

Directors will avoid him. And one goes so far as to say audiences will move on from him.

I haven't been to a movie since the day the Dark Prince (Willie Jeff Clinton) took over the kingdom, but I'm going to this one. And the wife and I plan on bringing about 10 of our friends along.

Mel Gibson has made nearly $2 billion for Hollywood, they're not that stupid as to avoid him.

"I think it's the subject. I think ... it's Jesus. Too religious. "

True.

Gibson will win on this one...BECAUSE it IS about the subject....
