Today in Stranger Suggests

‘Apocalypto’

APOCALYPTOsnow.jpg

(ESCHATOLOGY) On principle, we should un-Suggest Apocalypto for Mel Gibson’s criminally awful opinions on everything. But his recent movies are vivid fever dreams about the fall of civilizations. Watch The Passion of the Christ first, then chase it with Apocalypto, a jungle action-thriller about a Mayan Christ-figure wreaking total, empire-razing revenge on his (or His?) enemies. Plus, there’s a hilarious scene involving hot pepper and genitals. Hee-haw! (See Movie Times for details.) BRENDAN KILEY

I can't wait until he makes his movies about the slaughters of the Native Americans and Aborigines. I can't wait to see how it's their fault for being in whiteys way in the first place.

Does anyone in the movie cut their penis and drain the blood onto parchment, and then burn the parchment? Good times.

As curious as I am about both of Mel's snuff films I just can't bring myself to do anything that would put money in his pocket.

And this hurts me more than it hurts him for I will never again get to watch Mad Max or Tequila Sunrise. That hurts.

Mel joins Chopin, Wagner and the list of anti-semitic "artists" who's work we must boycott.


There is only one people who have suffered the most on this planet, and it's not the Mayan sacrifice victims in Gibson's latest opus. Schlinder's List is five times better than Apocolypto, rent it instead of giving money to hate monger Mel Gibson.
