Too rich, isn't it? Those tone-deaf Hollywierdos had no idea what was coming, yet any one of us here on FR could have told 'em a year ago what a huge hit Gibson had. Now the slugs want to get in on the trend and backtrack on the bile they spewed. I suspect this is the go-ahead for Kerry to say he just saw the movie and enjoyed it.

It sure makes them look pretty stupid, doesn't it?

First we had the anti-Semite charge. That got no traction (and actually backfired, bigtime). Then we get the "most violent movie ever" talking point, ad naseum. It ain't working either. Now they don't know what to say or think.

I think it's hilarious!

Yes. Last year when Mel was talking about releasing the movie without subtitles, I predicted that this would be one of the top ten grossing movies of all time. Right now, it looks like the gross will be much higher.

But more importantly, how many souls will be "grossed"? And how will this film reshape our culture?
