Medved needs to separate the artist and the ego. We don'r care what Susan Sarandon says about politics. We just want to see her crooked eyes, sexy smile and tits on the big screen. Likewise who gives a damn what Mel Gibson does or says offscreen. It is his films that we go and see. And I have seen "Apocalypto" and it is spectacular.

He didn't say not to see the movie--he gave it four out of four stars.

I realize that. I was referring to his displeasure with Gibson's idiotic commentaries. Not worth commenting on. It's like actually paying attention to Barbra Streisand's rants.

At least he didn't refer to JPII as meathead.

When did we start offering enemy hearts to the Sun God?

The practice of human sacrifice is satanic. The "Sun God" was satan. The satanic practice of human sacrifice happens today on a much greater scale in abortuaries across the country. 1.5 million unborn children are sacrificed every year.

Nine million Aztecs converted to Christianity following the appearance of Mary to Juan Diego in 1531, and the miraculous image on his tilma.

"In that context it’s unfortunate that the filmmaker has coupled his brilliance as a writer-director with a display of unalloyed idiocy as a commentator on his own work."

"The precursors to a civilization that’s going under are the same, time and time again,” he explained. "What’s human sacrifice if not sending guys off to Iraq for no reason?"

The joke is on the media. This analogy is wrong in so many ways that only the liberal media could take it and run with it. The result? The media throws all their backing behind the latest "Anti-War/Anti-Bush" parade and the man who, just a few short months ago, the once most despised drunken anti-semite, Mel Gibson rakes in another gazillion dollars and is lauded as a genius.

He's lucky he spouted off about the Jews and not the blacks...
