"No box office consideration? Puh-Lease!"Puh=lease explain why some one would put their own money into a huge production that on the surface has no box office appeal and no distribution deal. If you can explain how on would do that with profit in mind you win.
" If Mr. Gibson meant this film as the "gift to humanity" he so obviously sees it to be, why didn't he also pick up the tab for us all to see it? I'll stick with the written version... ;-)"
Do you understand the difference between a willingness to lose money for a personal vision and a desire to give money away for a personal vision. If you do then you should understand the lack of logiv behind your argument. If not then there is nothing to talk about.
