Ooooh good idea. Can never have enough Goodfellas!
"a loonier picture of him if you tried"
They always try to make him out like he`s nuts, the media does their best to drive him in that direction, but he doesn`t falter. It`s his faith that gives him strength. My brother is the same exact age as him, I mean to the day, same birthday, same year Jan 3rd `56, and before Mel made Passion they both looked the same age, and when it was finished Mel literally looked 10 years older than my brother.
I can`t even imagine the hell the press put that guy and his family though. That took major cajones to make that movie being that we are living in a time where anti-Chritianity propaganda in Hollywood is OK while those who follow a religion that condones death penalties for simple cartoons is left completely alone. Passion was the greatest, my favorite scene is the message of Jesus; "To love one another as I have loved you" something you`ll never get from the religion of death and hate that is protected and celebrated by the leftist media every single day.
Angela Maya?
Phew! Good thing it's not a cartoon.
I think old Mel has spent too much time under the stage lights. He is begining to loose touch with reality.
I gotta tell ya, this is the last post I would have expected given your tag line.
If Mel isn't a modern day Templar I don't know who is!
Giving a speech in MAYAN?? Cut me a break.
His "Passion of the Christ" was great. But now he's really going off the deep end. Who the heck is going to understand him? I doubt if most Mayan speakers even own TV sets.
"Do you really wannna jump?"
My husband starts speaking to them in Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, or Thai (learned during VN war.) The thing is, they don't know if he understood what they were saying... and they sure as blaze don't know what he said!

The Passion is truly a great film. I wonder if it will be re-released this Easter season.
Do they really? We had no idea.
I worked in a retail store with a woman that learned Spanish from her Mexican grandmother although she did not inherit the appearance. Regina loved to mess with the Mexican shoplifting teams that would hit us.
One "shopper" would be the lookout while the other would stuff goodies away. The looker would be saying, " go ahead, no one is looking" and Regina would say in perfect Spanish, " no, I don't think it is a good time.....". They would drop the goods and run out the door.
I just hunted up the trailer and watched it. It's kind of hard to tell where Mel is going with this movie, but it's visually stunning.
I also found the link below as I was searching. They claim an "easter egg" photo of Mel is buried in one frame of the trailer. I don't know if it's really there or not and I need to head to bed, but perhaps someone who is bored this evening will check it out.

I'm watching tomorrow and the only thing we saw last year at the movies was March of the Penguins. The FR Oscar live thread is so much fun. Great time and laughs--I can't wait.
I must not be too observant but I've only recently noticed in several stores how our friends from south of the border help themselves to all kinds of things from food to diapers to milk. I walked down the candy aisle in Wal-Mart just before Valentines and they had some Easter candy out as well. A whole Mexican family, adult and children, were munching on those individually wrapped cream filled easter eggs. At Sam's an employee was complaining about an open container of milk. He told me they just help themselves to it--pour what they need into the baby bottle and they are on there way--same thing with diapers.
Thanks, but all the link led me to was the same TRIPOD logo that appeared on your reply.
The Maya drove themselves into extinction by over-doing it with their lime plaster. They depleted their environment because it required tons of trees to make a little bit of plaster, and they piled plaster on their temples like it was going out of style. No trees affected their wetlands where they grew the majority of their food, or so is the theory.
I'm eager to see this film, Passion was good, but I think this could be a stronger film. Anyone should be able to respect Gibson's artistic integrity.
