I'm going to see "Passion Play" 100 times

Gosh I dislike most movies. Some movies are good, especially those that have aged a while. And, the best kind are those that are on TV, so I don't need to directly send my money to support the extravagant lifestyle of a societal parasite. If I ever paid the $8 or $10 or so to see some Hollywood movie, for the next several months I would be kicking myself over the $0.05 or so of that amount that Drew Barrymore or Lucy or Cameron or Jerry Bruckheimer or whoever got. What did they spend it on?, I would wonder. Did that 5 cents go towards a few grains of coke? Or, perhaps a couple milliliters of champagne. Perhaps it paid for a 1" square piece of paint on a new Hummer.

Now, people who have no problem with donating their money to such worthy causes, as well as the recipients of their money, are trying to put the hurt on Mel Gibson. Here's a wacky example:

Gibson, of course, is entitled to his beliefs, as is any extremist. But it is troubling when they are given such a powerful forum as the national distribution the film no doubt will receive.

And it is even more troubling when they are given the imprimatur of high-profile mainstream conservatives. It is another clear sign of the increasing tolerance for radicalism among the ranks of conservatives.

Perhaps he could be rehabilitated (hopefully not posthumously) if he attended a reeducation camp for a few years. If he doesn't want to do that, well, there are always the gulags, comrade.
