Mel Gibson: At Least There Were No Jews in Chichen-Itzá

Louis Farrakhan Sings! 

Our friend Simon at The Fifth Estate offers a sneak preview of Mel Gibson’s new project, Apocalypto, courtesy of a movie-reviewin’ Catholic priest.  Read it and weep.

My initial reaction when I saw the poster the other day was that the title sounded like something that Jack Kriby would have come up with, for example planet Apokolips, which is ruled by the evil Darkseid.

Here are a few suggestions for the soundtrack (tunes that convey realities of Mayan life):

“Piece of My Heart”, Big Bro & Holding Co.
“Jungle Love,” Steve Miller
“Conquistador”, Procol Harum
“Real Jaguar”, the Aztec Mystic

And don’t be mixing up Belafonte with some racist stuff; he’s fought the good fight for decades.

(As kids we always sang the Banana Boat Song at christmas: Glo-o-oria, in excelsis deo, de-ee-eo, daylignt come and me wan go home.”)

No insult intended to Belafonte. It’s just that the title of Mel’s film makes me think of Mamie van Doren singing “Go-Go Calypso” in Girls Town — although I agree with Serge that it does have a distinct Jack Kirby/New Gods feel to it as well.

Okay, I’ve replaced Harry’s calypso album with three recorded by with Louis “The Charmer” Farrakhan. He and Mel probably have a bit more in common.

Long time no see for Gibson.

After the Passion of Christ, he frustrated Holywood so much, that he had to do something to fix things up.
