Woody Allen is an incestious pedophile and people rave over his "genius".

What Mel did really pales in comparison and he remains my favorite actor/filmaker.
Roman Polanski had sex with a cocaine dealer who had been passing herself off as 19. She had sex with and sold coke to his entire group of pals as well, including Jack Nicholson. Polanski's crime wasn't exactly heinous.

What Woody Allen did was pretty disgusting and I haven't paid to see one of his movies since.

Gibson is a bigoted idiot son of a bigoted idiot. His rantings are mainly significant if you thought he was some kind of positive example of Christianity. I suspect many people who still respect him probably share his views.

This incident has certainly caused a lot of people to revisit what some saw as anti-semitism in his "Passion."
