[Prophet in the wilderness]

It's ironic that the liberal Hollywood is whining about the movie business is in a slump, were we had Mel Gibson spent $ 45 million of his own money on THE PASSION , and he brought in well over 500 million with his movie.

Isn't it amazing that his movie, Passion of Christ" was a runaway best seller? Seems as though te folks in Hollyweird would get a clue, doesn't it?

It is ironic. I also find it the height of hubris that they dare hold Mel in contempt for it. The success of that film wasn't a fluke. Hollywood can knock the "great unwashed folks in the red states..." all they want, but to their own folly.

I think the last film I saw in the theater was the third Star Wars installment. Before that, maybe the Incredibles or Ring Two (I know, it was a wretched film... but I'm a die hard...) There was a time, back in the early-mid 90s, when I could see three a day (seriously) but those are LONG over.
