Reply #4: Yep, GREELEY Said This with Tweety Last Night [View All]

Though it gives me an icky feeling to end up on the same side with these two Andrews.

And I claim first dibs on having called the movie an S&M cult-to-be, with another poster adding that it was "a Xtian snuff movie."

Actually, two people resolved my confusion about whether to patronize Saint Mel's first billion: O'REILLY, who saw it a week before the opening and said there was "nothing new" for anybody, like him, who had a traditionalist Catholic background. Later, my older, "delicate", unofficial-nun sister said the same thing and was enthusiastic about it. That settled it for me, the other way: If Mel is anti-Liberal-John-XXIII-Vatican-II (and Zeus knows that whatever change was made then is not enough now), I refuse to add my $7.50 to Mel's billions.

After that somebody posted ZEFFERELLI's comments about GIBSON killing farm animals to study the look in their eyes and how Z's own Jesua movie aimed at the Vatican II spirit and Mel is a reactionary, sadistic throwback.

As for the icky factor with GREELEY: On LETTERMAN years ago, he made lame, sexual double entendres ("It's not my AFFAIR"), to which LETTERMAN replied, "What does that MEAN?!!!"
