Apocalypto Never

When Mel Gibson was arrested for driving under the influence of anti-semitism, people were wondering if his off-the-screen problems would cause a drop in ticket sales for his upcoming epic, Apocalypto. What's more likely to cause a drop in sales for Apocalypto is the fact that it has no real actors, it uses only the ancient Yucatec Maya language, and it lasts about 3 hours. Top that off with reports of enough violence and gore to make you vomit pop-corn and Twizzlers on your date, and I'd say you've got a winner.

I do have to admit though, the plotline seems somewhat compelling, and the prospect of seeing National Geographic style boobies also piques my interest, but ultimately it just seems wrong to keep encouraging Mel to make these epics. Doesn't he know we've all been patiently waiting for "What Women Want 2"?

I guess what I'm saying is, if you really have the urge to learn about ancient Maya, stick to Wikipedia.
