I'm typically not a big fan of boycotting any artisic endeavor based on the personal beliefs of the artists behind them. Unless, of course, the artistic endeavor actually embodies those beliefs, in which case I think it's fair game. But imagine if you had to consider the political or social views of every musician throughout history before buying their album, or of every painter before buying a print of their work or going to an exhibit. You'd be missing out on tons of incredible art. So if you think it looks like an appealing film, then I say go see it despite Gibson's recent problems.

I was being a smart ass. I still think he's a cock (and not in a good w . . . nevermind).

I'm curious to see this film. I can't surpress my interest, in particular, the mayan aspect of the story. It sounds pretty grizzly, but I'm sure some will be unimpressed regardless.

Only complaint would be this should have been rated NC-17. Shame on you Disney.

I'd go on to say after age 17 this should be required viewing.

May I also suggest "Bad Influence" starring Spader & Lowe.

Documenting the underground party scene quite well.
