Marvel Versus #138: Juggernaut vs. Apocalypto!

And just so we can make it a hat-trick of entries on this day:

Mel Gibson News Bite #1 and Mel Gibson News Bite #2.

A few random thoughts:

Executive producing a Holocaust drama. Either he's trying to atone for the idiotic things his dear old dad has been spewing, or he'll commit career suicide by agreeing with him. Or...ta da...he'll do neither, and the flick will be a relatively banal piece which neither outright confirms nor denies the events, but simply uses them as a backdrop to tell a heartwarming story about heroic gentiles. By jove, I think we've got it.

And as far as "Apocalypto" - if he really thinks audiences are clamoring for more impenetrable ancient languages in movies, he's got another thing coming. My gut reaction is that, without audiences being sold that it's important for their religion that this movie be a success, this particular flick will go down faster than a prostitute at a Republican convention.

And come on - "Apocalypto?" It just SOUNDS like a rejected X-Men villain, doesn't it?
