Cranky old Oscar figured out that most of America hates sex,Only when it's thrown in our faces
dancing,
That's dancing? You could have fooled me
gay people,
See sex
ethnic people,
Only when they call us racists to distract from their own shortcomings
ribald or drug-related humor,
It would help if it was actually humorous
and opinionated or irreverent takes on current political events
It would help if they were factual and relevant.
What this twit is demanding that America celebrate not just their right to be amoral idiots, but to pay them handsomely for exercising that right as well.

As they say, the Bible is the Greatest Story Ever Told. I'd love to see a good movie of The Book of Esther, or Ruth, or any of a number of inspiring stories.
But if Mel doesn't make them, no one will.

H'weirdos are insulated in their own little world that they forget about the REAL world. These same H'weirdos complain, whine and deride people and their values outside of their own. The conservatives way of life are their punching bag because conservatives think pretty much the same way. However, when one of their own, a celebrity, thinks outside of the liberal leftist communist way that H'weirdos want the rest of the world to think these same style weirdos use a McCarthy approach of blackballing and blacklisting. Sheesh! The real reason for this atrocious action comes down to the bottom line regardless of excuses given by Katzenberg and Geffen, etal: MONEY! Mel's getting it and they aren't.

A domestic box office of $350M usually results in an overseas box office of an additional $350M-plus.
This means Mel Gibson's movie should gross upward of one billion dollars before it's finished.
The fact that a subtitled religious movie with no well-known stars which had to beg for distribution has made this amount of cash is unprecedented.
Hollywood is having a fit.

Mel broke this rule:-- Filmakers are not allowed to present morality or spirituality in a manner that might make film people feel "guilty" about their hedonistic lifesyles.

This is actually great news. Hollywood is painting itself into a corner. Mel is going to have the Bible-based movie niche to himself. And other independent Christian movie companies might find it much easier to raise cash.

The Oscars are a farce. for a few years now , the winners of best actress and actor goes to the agenda of the times, not to
best performer, ergo julia roberts pedestrian performance as Erin Brokovich saluted just causes, denzel(although great actor, just not oscar winning in training day) and hale barry to prove hollywood is in touch with the black man. and this year sean penn and tim robbins being rewarded for their outspoken misguided bile on current affairs. Jeez, just stick to movies

If Mel gets blacklisted, I say he should just say "Screw you Hollywood Idiots!" He then could go about making more of religious oriented movies without the Hollywood censors, and continue to make a lot of money and just keep up the process. Mel has proved you don't need the leftist idiots to be a success in the movie making business.

THis has all to do with the business of movie making and less to do about religion or politics. A man Hollywood made rich(like so many others) took their money, went off without them, and is making a boatload of money. What do actors and directors want most? Creative Freedom. The studios are shaking in their Gucci Boots that others will soon follow. And I hope they do. Maybe we'll get some good old fashioned movie making instead of the crap we get today.

My fear is that Hollywood will start making religious films. They will look at the passion, see nothing but the violence, and start making films of saints and martyrs that contain none of the soul of these people, but only the torture. Don't forget that hollywood is good at ruining any good story.
