Bet if Mel Gibson made an Alamo movie it would be highly profitable. Oh certainly. Gibson would capture the true spirit of the Alamo, and not try to turn the Alamo into some politically-correct anti-American movie. Gibson gets ripped for creating fictitious characters and exaggerating truths. The Alamo used real characters and completely re-wrote history to assassinate the characters of these American heroes. Why on earth would anybody watch?

Glenn Beck was mentioning the movie on the drive in (or maybe that was just the news update?). Anyway, your comment brilliantly encapsulates why I think the movie is flopping. I'd be interested in seeing this as a historical film, to get a better take on what happened, but I just don't trust Hollywood at all. I don't know if they re-wrote history, because I just assume they did. I'd have to go research everything beforehand to cull the lies, and then, why would I need to see a movie on it? Especially if I still thought there was a good chance it would be skewed.
