I like your comments here. I also strongly support the idea of seeing this movie two, three or five times. The left will get it's lunch handed to it at the box office. And that's an idea I can sink my teeth into.

As the garish competition to the Passion of Christ pulls in $20 million or so this weekend, Mel Gibson's, no perhaps 'our' work of art will draw over five times as much. I say 'our', because Mel's gift is now ours. I have adopted it.

Later this year I will own a copy of this movie. If he re-releases the movie once a year, I'll go see it in the theater each time. This may be one of the first movies in history that could pull in $100 million per year indefinately.

This movie will still be making money when the grandchildren of it's detractors are adults, providing Christ hasn't come back to rescue us from this stinking hell hole by then.

And Joel Siegel was the one among two other odd choices in CNN's discussion group, who defended both Mel Gibson's artistic license and his discipleship (though he didn't use that word and though he was embarrased to be the defender).

Amen.
