Back in the Spotlight
Shepherd says, “Perhaps, given Mad Mel’s inflammatory views of Jews in The Passion of the Christ and under the influence of tequila, it was asking for trouble to have him in the course of this role spew a line like, “You had better decide whether you’re hangin’ on the cross or poundin’ in the nails,” and further to highlight this line in the trailer.” WHAT??? Mel, himself, disappoints in his in 2006 rant, his adultery and divorce, but there is and never was anything anti-Semitic in The Passion. Mel did, however, express his mea culpa on the rant. Does Mr. Shepherd know history? Does he know the difference between The Passion's evil characters and slandering entire ethnicities? Must Mr. Shepherd be so obscure and verbose in reviewing The Edge of Darkness? Sigh.— February 10, 2010 9:16 p.m.
