Which one? The Crusades or The Greatest Show on Earth?

Seriously though, while I mostly agree with Alex, I think that when someone's objectionable morals informs their work, it should be a valid reason for judging said work. While I've yet to see a Polanski movie that has a pro-"sex with minors" message (well, maybe Tess), and David Lynch doesn't preach the TM gospel in his movies, there's plenty of evidence that Gibson's hateful world view is certainly present in the films he directs - from homophobia (Braveheart) to anti-semitism (the PotC without Johnny Depp). I'll see Apocalypto when it comes to HBO, but I won't contribute to Mel's big box office opening weekend.
