Vaderisnothayden, I couldn't disagree with you more about the Godfathers film. But, you're entitled to your opinion. I guess we just have different tastes when it comes to movies and that's ok.
As for Gibsom. Yes his statements are unacceptable, but why let that deprive you from enjoying his movies? I can perhaps understand not wanting to buy a ticket to his movie and give him money. But you can still the enjoy his movies when they come on TV. Even if want to take it as far as not watching his movies and boycotting everything Gibson, I still don't understand letting his statements affect you opinions how good or bad the movie is. For instance, I boycott the Eagles because of Michael Vick. But I don't let that affect how I evaluate Vick as a QB nor do I let it affect how I evaluate the quality of the Eagles' team as a whole. see what I mean?
As for Braveheart, if we were only supposed to get a kick out of the death because the guy was gay, explain I how got a kick out of it without knowing he was gay?
