Mel Gibson, Judah Maccabee

After all his anti-Semitic stuff, Mel Gibson is reportedly developing some sort of biopic about someone called Judah Maccabee whose ancient victory is celebrated by Hannakah.

Gibson has his problems with accusations of anti-Semitism, but, as Palestinians prepare to declare statehood and as Israelis prepare to massacre them for it, he shouldn't be making crap like that.

I never liked Mel Gibson. I disliked him long before everyone else did.

To be fair to Gibson, all his expressions of racial and anti-gay hatred are little compared to all the anti-gay and racist movies Hollywood made over the decades. John Wayne actually called himself a "white supremacist" in an interview with Playboy. Look at Mickey Rooney playing a "funny" Japanese in Breakfast at Tiffanys. Rooney, Audrey Hepburn and everyone mixed up with that racist production should have be shunned.

Turn on any old movie. You sit there and watch, and it's perfectly nice. Even in the grittiest film noir, there's no obscene language, nudity, sex. Nothing to offend anyone. Then a black character appears, a bellboy or an elevator operator or a maid, and we're subjected to some cruel anti-black stereotype.

Watch Duck Soup. Groucho Marx makes a rude comment about "darkies".

Look at Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind. Feminists have proclaimed her a "feminist heroine". Look at her slapping Butterfly McQueen. How was that racist bitch a "feminist"?

Gibson is also a sadist. He told Franco Zeffirelli that he liked to relax by slaughtering calves on his ranch. Zeffirelli directed Gibson in Hamlet. He discussed this with reporters during the controversy around Gibson's Jesus-being-tortured movie, The Passion of the Christ.

Well, it'll be interesting. Let Gibson make his hyper-violent crypto-Zionist epic. It'll be interesting to see the response.

Kind of like Tom Cruise

You know what it's like? It's like that idiot Tom Cruise. Germany doesn't like Scientology. They consider it a scam or something. So Cruise made that movie about the Nazi officers who tried to blow up Hitler. He figured the Germans couldn't keep him out if he made a movie about Germans trying to blow up Hitler. And his cynical ploy worked.

We'll see if this works as well for Gibson.

Hannakah has become sort of the Jewish Christmas. Hard to imagine a bloody, violent historical epic as the Jewish answer to A Christmas Story or Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
