According to Internet Movie Database, Mel Gibson will be re-releasing his hyped- er- controversal movie, the Passion of Jesus Christ in time for Easter. But this is not the same movie that you can now rent or buy on DVD. Gibson is releasing an "unedited" version of the movie, with six additional minutes which will probably be more of Romans torturing Jesus. While I'm already weary of commercial endeavors concerning Jesus Christ and other religious figures, it deeply saddens me that Mel Gibson has just pulled a George Lucas.
And what's stopping Mel from doing this next year with another edition? Why don't we all just re-release every movie that's made a profit, in hopes of making more money?
That is, after all, the American way.
