Hopefully I succeeded.<BR/><BR/>I definitely think Mel's got some problems, and while alcohol is certainly one of them, his attitude and his bigotry are not as easily dismissed, nor are they going to be forgotten, at least by me. Tom Cruise buried himself with his behavior and Spielberg has, essentially, left him behind. I think many people will distance themselves from Mel initially; I hope that they remember what he is behind the mask and treat him accordingly. Like Lisa and Julie, I liked his movies and never had a problem with him as a person; but thanks to his behavior and his recent outburst, as far as I'm concerned, he's in the past tense.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I wouldn't judge him based on his father's denial the Holocaust took place; however, when I read his comments, that did it for me. "Sugar-tits" didn't bother me that much; it was sort of a Dan Fielding (Night Court) moment. But it's pretty clear he's a misogynistic bigot with a huge ego and a problem with alcohol. Good luck with all that, Mel.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for the positive feedback...'tis much appreciated.Boogiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636861960548704495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133409.post-1154264663780020932006-07-30T09:04:00.000-04:002006-07-30T09:04:00.000-04:00Well said.

I was willing to cut Mel some limited slack after the whole Passion of the Christ backlash, but now I am done with him.<BR/><BR/>Frankly I am amazed he has managed to thrive in Hollywood as long as he has, considering a significant portion of the power brokers are Jewish. I guress as long as his movies made money, people were willing to look the other way. I wonder what's going to happen now? I personally think he is going to be a pariah a la Tom Cruise. I was going to suggest these idiots just STFU but maybe not. Maybe it's better they spell it out their "misguided", (read heavy understatement,) beliefs and then we can choose to boycott them. Hmmm, there's a concept...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
