"Eye of the beholder. To you, The Passion of the Christ might be an example of a film that fills a cinematic need. To others, The Passion pushes an agenda."

"Eye of the beholder" is merely another way of saying "Truth is relative."

'The Passion of Christ' was historical; Those who regard it as "pushing an agenda" are merely projecting.

"Your personal opinion on a political matter does not make that matter 'out-of-bounds' as the subject of a film. Roger Ebert said it best when he famously claimed that a film "Is not about what it's about; it's about HOW it's about it".

Again, I suppose your mantra would be "truth is relative," therefore there is no such thing "out of bounds." Except that the ONLY things Hollywood finds "out of bounds" are virtue, honor and dignity, while fixating in the netherland of doom, degradation, and perversion.

Ebert "famously claimed" what?? Lol, the only thing "famous" about Ebert is his thumb. And belly.

"...because MDB violates your political opinions and values, you say that it violates the 'human spirit'. Ugh, remind me again why I humor your delusions of importance?"

For the same reason I humor your delusions of grandeur.

You're right, and it is. Your version of "the truth" about Hollywood's "agenda" sounds like the childish rantings of a lunatic to me-- far from anything resembling the truth.
