Wow, Mel must be doing horribly right now to be doing DirectTV premiere flicks. Too bad. He's not that bad to not be scoring better roles.

I mean it looks all right but... why? Usually movie stars fall harder than him and struggle for a longer time before they make something just for TV. Well, at least it's good that his ego didn't get in the way. A lot of film actors would refuse to play in something that didn't get a theatrical release, but good TV has gotten closer to cheap theatrical productions than before.

I really don't care about all the crap Mel has had lately. That's his personal problems. His movies, I will always see.

He may a jew-hating, racist drunk - but if he gives us a good movie, I'll still pay my money to see it.
