US public to Hollywood: shove it!
Wishlist time. Now we have the Passion, what of other biblical epics in Panavision/THX/DTS/IMAX?
I wanna see Solomonic Israel in its glory, complete with Holy Of Holies scenes of course, and I want to see the temptation of his chase for wisdom and his fall into the clutches of heathenism/reincarnation/fertility/pantheism. It would be a wonderful dig at the looming era of religious melange. The world governor will need a cult(s) to soothe over the cracks between the spectrum of ideologies from fundamentalists and the humanist-secularlists. The clash of the civilizations is a great opportunity to foist a global peace relying on curbing certain religious "antagonisms". The classic one is between Judeo-Christians and the Islamo-fascists but the other biggie -on the back burner since 9/11- is the Hindu-Islamic one in the Indus regions (where they have nukes ready to fly right now...)
