I think Mel is a tad insane in the brain. Which does not impact his ability to make movies that make millions. One of the strange quirks about Hollywood.

Gibson seems certain that the film's "kinetic energy" will make Maya language and culture "cool" enough to attract a crowd. Maya prophecy says the current world, which began 5,000 years ago, will end in 2012. So, even if Apocalypto flops, Gibson will at least have given the Maya one last chance to get the word out. La Raza and the back to Aztlan crowd should love it...as well as the other nihilist/Marxists friends of Islamofascism down at Whorlywood & Whine.

He picks up a bullhorn: "Attention! We are all dying here! We are all dying!" ... Gibson finally lets out a tortured howl, digs vainly for a cigarette in his empty pack of Camels ...
No wonder they're all dying ... it's the second hand smoke!
Isn't there a city council or state legislature anywhere that can impose a smoking ban on Mel Gibson film sites in Mexico?

I think Mr. Gibson has become a modern day Orsen Wells, I just hope he doesn't get fat like Mr. Wells did.

A BILLION dollars in
Passion of Christ ticket sales? Wow. I didn't know it got up THAT high.
The MSM and Sleazywood treated him so badly about it that all later, follow-up success stories about the Passion of Chirst seemed to dwindle into obscurity. I suppose that goes for DVD sales as well.
He's hated by homosexual advocates too. Hmmmm, hated by Sleazywood, left-wing liberals, Christian-haters and homosexuals. That's quite a list of recommendations.
Yes, Gibson knows how to make movies. I'll see Apocolyto too.

I think with this flick Mel has gone a bit 'round the bend. THE PASSION was a huge success. He should have stuck with producing from then on.

Holy smoke, friend. Please get some help, or a vacation, or both. Whatever it takes to get a grip.

No movie Mel has made comes even close to Citizen Kane, in terms of groundbreaking style, and lasting impact.

Mexicanos puff away with impunity.
The trick is to keep the WOMEN smoking. And they do in Mexico, especially the young ones, thinking it will keep them less fat.
Once women start the parade about non-smoking, the country will change.
Nanny-ism.

I wonder if the guy named in this lawsuit is the same guy who is now Mel's co-writer on this kooky project.

"Gibson, who insists ideology matters less to him than stories of "penitential hardship" like his Oscar-winning Braveheart, puts it more bluntly: "The fearmongering we depict in this film reminds me a little of President Bush and his guys."
- Hmmmm. I would be disappointed in Mel if he thinks that by portraying this story is some sort of allegorical Bush bash was in order to curry favor with the critics and re-ingratiate himself with the leftist Hollywood community.

You sure... I don't remember reading about Citizen Kane sparking a religion movement like "Passion of the Christ" did...

Yeah right Mel its all in our heads.......well, some of our heads, the other heads rolled away somewhere if you know what I mean.
To: finnigan2
I really think Mel is a card-carrying member of the paleocon right, which, in it's hatred of the Bush administration is not very different from the loony left. I'll go to my grave convinced that Mel is his father's son, that evangelical Christians (like Bush) irritate him, and that he has a love affair going with the blood and the gore of elemental civilizations. Mel is a very weird dude.

Finally someone in Hollywood with fresh ideas. The trailers for this movie look amazing.

That is the motto of movie critics.
Just to get an idea of your point of view, what do you consider to be "good" movies?
