Sure it is. Two wrongs make a right.



I hear what you're saying but 3 of the people on your list are dead. I'm not worried that money I give them is going towards anti-gay or anti-Jewish causes. Mel's trying to build a church for an extremely fundamentalist sect of Catholicism. That's not something I want to support.

Also, isn't not paying to see a film a good way for studios to know who they should and shouldn't be green-lighting and supporting? Mel's a freak.

I mean, were John Ford and Cecil B out in the media preaching and trying to convince others how to think their way? Were they actively trying to get people to be bigots? I don't know the answer to that, but Mel does. He also uses his movies to get that point across. 'Braveheart' is chocked full of homophobic crap but yet it's embraced by a lot of my friends of mine as one of the great films of all time. Yow!

If I had lived in Cecil B's time and knew about his racism, I wouldn't watch his films. (Not that I was ever a big fan of his.) Same goes for Ford.
