Tough crowd!

In other news, I just heard today that a Mel Gibson film based on the Maccabees is in the works. According to Wikipedia ( ), it was announced in 2011. Good to know I'm still out of the loop. Anyway, I'm rather excited about it!

That's good. Say what you want about Mel Gibson but he understands how to properly direct a film.

That was so bad... but unfortunately, rather funny.

Apparently he was drawn to the story because it has characteristics of an old west story.

Mel Gibson should really have been given another chance. Passion of the Christ was supposed to be good, but people basically know Mel Gibson as "that anti-Semite" because of one drunken rant. Considering the way that social media can now capture every embarrassing moment of your life if you allow it to, pretty much everyone will say or do something they shouldn't. Are we really going to refuse recognition to someone's works just because they were drunk and someone was filming them and they used some slur or something, for example?

I didn't know anything about a drunken rant. I thought people claimed The Passion was anti-semitic because the priests wanted Jesus executed. *shrugs*

I am not saying I hate the guy
I loved his work in directing The Passion Of The Christ
but his dad is involved in SSPX and they have a serious history of anti-Semitic statements, so this might be MORE then just a drunken rant

but whatever, I do not know the guy, hope he repents of whatever mistakes he made in the past
just like all of us
