Again, Barry is afraid to use my name. I never said, of course, that "Apocalypto" was "bad." Unlike Barry, who pronounced judgment on Lynch's film, calling it "stupid," without having seen it, I don't critique the quality of films I haven't seen. And the only reason I wouldn't see "Apocalypto" is simply because I don't enjoy blood and gore--same reason I wouldn't see Gibson's "Passion," same reason I found his "Patriot" so unpleasant. If there weren't so much violence, I almost certainly *would* see both "Passion" and "Apocalypto."
