Lemme splain then. If the movie had failed from its initial screenings, the left would be in full roar now. They would be orgasmic that it failed, and they would cite as proof the lack of attendance and earnings! There could be little to counter their assertions other than it is a powerful film, at which they would derisively laugh and jeer even more!. However, the point of my comment centered around "abandonment," and not movie quality. If the people had "abandoned" Mel Gibson, there would have been few tickets sold. However, the volume of tickets sold, and the number of people who watched the movie is proof that he and his film have not been abandoned. I am aware that doofus movies continue to be popular. However, I do not equate Gibson's movie with the doofus class movies just because both are successful. That comparison was made by someone else and it is dreadfully lame.
Fine. But which of us,
now, is refusing to think?
Rand says A is A . . .
(There's refusing to
think, and refusing to face
the clear conclusions . . .)
