Gibson Plans Another Historical Epic - Yahoo! News
by Rattle at 11:12 pm EDT, Jul 25, 2005

Mel Gibson is planning another historical epic. And like "The Passion of the Christ," it will be shot in an archaic tongue. The writer-director plans an October starting date to shoot "Apocalypto," set 500 years ago in Central America, his spokesman, Alan Nierob, said Monday.

FOR THE SAKE OF GOOD CIMEMA, SOMEONE PLEASE STOP MEL GIBSON!

The Passion of the Christ was a great movie - and the sales vs production costs pretty much confirm that it was a huge success.

So what's the problem? You hate money or just Christians or Conservatives?

This is an extremely narrow minded statement. If something is finically successful, it does not put and end to my right to have a differing opinion about it. It also does not mean that my opinion is politically, racially, or ideologically motivated. I think that Spielberg movies are overrated, are you going to try and label me anti-semitic now?

As for The Passion.. I went to Catholic school for 6 years. I liked the book better. I was not impressed by The Passion any more than Gibson's version of Hamlet, which is to say not much.

Signs was also successful, but that does not stop it from being a heaping load of shit. The reason I didn't like it had nothing to do with the main character being a reverend. It had to do with the lack of a single engaging moment aside from one cheap scare, and an ending that made me want to sleep.

Its my opinion that this movie is going to be another carbon copy of Gibson's o-so-successful historical loads of shit. It will sit nicely between The Patriot and Braveheart in someone else's movie collection.

I don't hate money, Christians, or Conservatives. I hate Mel Gibson moves.
