"Hollywood is all about $$$$, regardless of religion"
That's not what you said in your earlier post.
Are you one of those in denial about mel's tirade, too?
You are right. I specifically stated that the non religious Jews in hollywood care mostly about getting the deal and $$$$. Again, do you live in Los Angeles? Do you know anyone in the entertainment business? To answer your question, I am not in denial about what Mel supposedly said. Being "Jewish" myself, I am deeply disappointed at the thought that he could say such vile and erroneous things. I defended his right to make Passion of the Christ (which I saw and thought it was abrilliant film making- albiet a bit too violent). I defended him from those who blindly called him an anti semite just because he made a movie about Christ that showed the involvement of Jews in Christ's demise (don't misinterpret that to mean I think Jews killed christ). But,as I stated in a much earlier post, before your misinterpretation, I now see Mel is an anti semite. The beauty of alcohol is that it's a truth serum. Get someone drunk and they will really tell you what they think. Mel just showed to the world what he really thinks about Jews. And this American, who happens to be Jewish, lost all respect and admiration for him. I still don't think he'll be hurt in the industry. He might be hurt box office wise and we'll see with the opening gross of Apocalypto which i won't be seeing. I'd rather much see him getting flogged with a cat o nine tails. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/1674359/posts?page=442#442 Btw, Mel is directing the next Muppet Movie and I don't approve of what he's done with Kermit.
