I sort of had a feeling he'd skip over quite a bit of history to keep the blood flowing. Course, I'm gonna see it anyway.

Is it just me or is Mel Gibson looking a lot like Sadam Hussain these days?

well... if its anything like braveheart, his maya film will not be accurate. still, I can't wait to see his film, he's a good directer/acter.

I think the premise of this movie is interesting. They may be a bit inaccurate about

the historical facts, but it seems like a fun movie I would like to see.

yeah... no kidding..

so here is what the movie is really about... the mayans are all sitting around and BOOM here comes jesus and jesus tells them they are all going to hell because they don't believe in him so they say - well, we are going anyway, lets sacrifice eachother.

the end.
