It's getting harder and harder to be a filmmaker if you have to submit your finished product to suburban focus groups and the ADL.

However, to be fair, if you invite a select crowd among whom is the medieval fool Cal Thomas to your private screenings, while excluding others likely to be less well disposed to the work, then you deserve all the trouble you get.

I see you are utterly, totally unaquainted with how screenings are initially done in the business.

Don't let that stop you from talking about it, though.

I couldn't be less interested in the saccharine Gibson or his creepy sectarianism, but the political-cultural context is intriguing and may prove useful.

It's funny. Someone who holds Gibson as 'saccharine' is someone I find completely unqualified to judge the man as 'useful'. I'm not suprised. I am, nevertheless, bored.

Good! If the film drives a wedge between the two, the real winner in this Passion Play may turn out to be the Palestinians...

Oh, lookey there! Partisan boredom. What an interesting change from what ususally goes on in the minds of weekend philosophers.

Good luck with the choice of champions, genius.

(Hint: there are none).
