…for any of you who give a shit.
The fact that many of these morons somehow made it to “opinion leader” status just scares the living snot out of me. This is a good dissection of the Mel-defenders. And seriously, many of them are quite well respected.
Just for the record, I think most of Mel’s movies are fun. Road Warrior is, IMHO, an all-time post-apoloyptic classic. And I think he’s basically a good guy. Just also an alcoholic and anti-Semite. It isn’t like he would actually kill a Jew, because he’s such a good Catholic, but there isn’t much doubt anymore among the “alcohol is often truth serum” crowd, of which I am a member, how he really feels.
However, so? Let the marketplace of ideas decide.
I still like Mel. Just not deeply.
