Red and Blue America does battle aga
Interesting - but it just pushes up the shorts when one thinks about it - a 'people award' going to someone like that guy - My moans are heard all the way to the gates - :)
Thanks for the info though - Have a good day -
I feel the same as you do over this.
before I went to see the movie, I had planned to go every weekend, as long as it was playing, to show support for Mel Gibson. But after watching it, I just couldn't see it again. But, I would, of course, highly recommend that everyone see it, at least once. It is a very moving film.
In my opinion, "The Passion of the Christ" has already won the peoples choice award ( small letters, big message). Any movie which has been seen by as many people worldwide as this one needs neither plaques nor statues from some presumptuous band of Hollywood idiots. The real people have spoken on this subject. "The Passion of the Christ" is the best motion picture of 2004, period.
Some unusually good things on this earth may be spiritually inspired (a guess: maybe .001% of what we humans consider good)
. and the rest is simply man trying to do his human best (99.999%).
Pitting The Passion against the rest of Hollywoods best picture nominees is like choosing a sketch (any sketch) by Rembrandt and pitting it against a creation by Charles Schultz or Garry Trudeau in a best illustration category. Or taking a vote on whether Mozarts Requiem or Masta Killas Last Drink is better music.
Some planes were never meant to intersect.
Box office receipts show the real people's choice. "The Passion" clobbered F-911 by more than 3:1 on that basis. So how can F-911 even be considered?
can gibson be that stupid in thinking Jews eat bread on passover . didn't he ever hear of matzoh?
Me neither. I had it mailed to me, arriving the day of the release. It's sitting on my shelf waiting for me to watch it again.
I will. When I'm ready.
there is such a thing as unleavened bread.
(I won't even stain this thread with the name of the mockumentary)
Anyway, I must hand it to the folks who put on this show. They left the best for last. Instead of having his award mushed in the middle of "best crest smile award" and "best reality TV" award, they cut to a commercial, and had the Best Movie Drama award at the very end.
Mel got a huge ovation. I think he was really touched, especially when he said "when you have to circumvent the system" to get an award like this, "this means more to me" than any of the rest.
He ended it with "God Bless" and off he went off the stage.
Good job Mel. The people have indeed spoke.
I'm thinking about watching it with my family on Good Friday.
I went to bed when Martin Sheen got up there to present the award for favorite film. I left when he said something to the effect that, "...it's great to live in an democracy, even if its only on tv."
I love the way these hypocrites, who make millions in this capitalistic, republic, but then continue to bite the hand that gives them a wonderful living.
I am sure he gushed all over Michael Moore.
I'm sure there'll come a time when I watch it again.....but it probably won't be for a while.....
Mel in '08.
She said the news media is all over it here in Texas. Anybody hear this?
That's the last time I saw it...and believe me, I never looked at Mass the same, ever again.
(and that's a good thing)
It didn't happen during his acceptance speech, not at least on camera. Mel didn't mention Iraq, or anything political at all. Not sure where she heard that.
Only mentioned that he felt honored about this award, having "circumvented" the system, lol!
Thanks. She said she heard it on the radio and was disappointed.
(I got to thinking, perhaps backstage or somewhere, he asked MM the question just to get a reaction...Mel's a joker that way, you know?)
