| Hollywood Mega-hit Producer and Director Steven Spielberg has decided to fight fire with fire. He announced that since Mel Gibson is fueling the fires of anti-semitism in the world with his movie about the last hours of Christ, Spielberg will make a graphic movie about the Crusades.
In order to get Jews and Moslems to convert to Christianity, Spielberg commented, Christians went through Europe and into the Middle East forcing conversions on non-believers. Along the way they raped, beat, bludgeoned, maimed, tortured and killed hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children. "I will show Christian brutality in a realistic and most graphic and gory way." Spielberg went on to add that "the movie will have a well-deserved anti-Christian tone. Let's face it, Gibson wants to blame the Jews for the death of one person we didnt even kill. I will show the inhuman brutality of thousands of Christians against hundreds of thousands of people of other faiths, about which historically there is no ambiguity as to who is to blame." Spielberg said that "if this movie is successful, he is likely to follow it up with The Spanish Inquisition, a historical film on the torture and murder of the Jews of Spain by the Catholic Church. To complete the trilogy, Spielberg announced, in 2006 I will be filming Hitler and the Pope: A Team Formed in Hell. That should generate some heated debate." |
Bringing on Armageddon.
Seatbelts fastened?

What Beemer aficionados know about Passion and Crusades and Spielberg and Gibson, I don't know, but there seems to be plenty of doubt about the authenticity of the quote. Spielberg was quoted by CNN (http://edition.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Movies/03/04/film.spielberg.reut/) a couple of weeks ago as saying "When I do see the film, the first person who will hear from me will be Mel Gibson and no one else." Well, maybe we can resolve all of humanities problems with one big film festival, which would be pretty cool, IMHO! |
Some day we may realize that we are one big film festival.
