While Mayan civilisation thrived for nearly 2,000 years before its mysterious collapse,
1 It didn't last for 2,000 years
Classic Mayan civilation AD 250 - 900
2 Not really much of a mystery of why it collaped only weather it went fast or slow.
That's the Aztecs
"That's the Aztecs"
You've seen one pre-Columbian culture, you've seen 'em all. I get them confused. Aztecs, Mayan, Toltecs, Olmecs...
I'll wait for the animated version.
Back safe and sound, albeit my luggage. Not to worry though... Midwest Express will deliver it tonight.
What beautiful country, AZ is.
Let's hope that in a few years Mel can do:
"The End of the Islamics!"
As long as I see an accurate portray of history, it's fine with me. I'm not a PC person, in fact, I dislike the can’t-we-all-just-get-along-touchy-feely sweet history movies. Man, give me the real thing.
Jay, do you misunderestimate me?
The one who gets all of the yahoo alerts any time Mel's name is mentioned in the news?
/G
Sure did! I have no doubt it'll be a great movie. Sounds like it could be a "Braveheart" type of movie, with a jalapenos and salsa instead of haggis!
Glad you're home safe! You have FREEPmail!
I'm trying to picture that, lol.
And here we thought Gibson's heart was for the gospel message... yuck! He definitely took a wrong turn at Acapulco.
What was I thinking?!!!
Victoria, Knowing how Mel kept faithful to The Passion, with all the flack he was getting from the USCC, I am willing to bet he will stay on target.
P.S. Karen... the luggage arrived last night around 11:00 p.m. They left it on the front porch. I found it this morning.
Still waiting for my left ear to pop. Uggghhhhh.....
If he is, I hope he's more obvious about it.
Perhaps, but wasn't Juan Diego an Aztec? This movie's about the Mayans.
San Juan Diego may very well have had Mayan blood considering Our Lady of Guadalupe is considered Mestizo, a racial mix of Mexican and Spanish blood. Most, in not all, cultures today are a massive genetic blending of multiple peoples.
I'll go see this one. It won't do as well as the Passion, but I suspects Mel Gibson knows this going in.
Thank goodness they didn't make you trudge all the way back to the airport for that! *Denim shirt* and flight jacket and all!
Still waiting for my left ear to pop. Uggghhhhh.....
Well, speaking from a scuba divers perspective on plugged ears, the "diver dance" won't do much for it (jump up and down on one leg and tilt your head towards the ground)...but you might get a curious smile or two from your friends :o)
Knowing how Mel kept faithful to The Passion, with all the flack he was getting from the USCC, I am willing to bet he will stay on target.
Ya gotta wonder who's gonna try to rag...er...criticize his work on this picture this time....something tells me that we shouldn't put it past the NY Slimes...
I concur with you. I'm sure he'll do a good job.
The MSM -the Slimes included- activist groups, you know... all the usual suspects.
