Film star and director Mel Gibson has launched a scathing attack on US President George W Bush, comparing his leadership to the barbaric rulers of the Mayan civilisation in his new film Apocalypto.

The epic, due for release later this year, captures the decline of the Maya kingdom and the slaughter of thousands of inhabitants as human sacrifices in a bid to save the nation from collapsing.

Gibson reveals he used present day American politics as an inspiration, claiming the government callously plays on the nation's insecurities to maintain power.

He tells British film magazine Hotdog, "The fear-mongering we depict in the film reminds me of President Bush and his guys".

UH Mel...It's not fear mongering you great jackass. We were attacked! Thousands of innocents died because of words in a book. They will attack again & again. You'll never see another dollar from me!

Well, then I guess he wasn't really dead after all (being part of the Trinity), and therefore the Jews didn't kill Christ, did they....

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Christ is alive.

it did help to get out the reality of what Jesus went through.

"Reality"? Maybe or maybe not.

I finally decided not to see the movie because I do not wish to have The Passion According to Mel—or any other man—stuck in my mind's eye.

The word of God is living and powerful and, as I see it, sufficient for me and mine.

Bye Mel Gibson. If you have kept your mouth shut, you would still be a fan of our family. Now, we despise you.

I guess I'll have to miss this film.

Ditto! Guess his liver isn't the only organ that's been pickled.

Jag!

Wrong bubba. Reminding the forgetful American people of the dangers of islamofacism is not fear mongering; it is the duty of a great president.

Another reason he has to do it, is because the treason filled democrats want people to stop worrying about terrorism, and pay attention to their social 'policies'.

'One would have to be deaf and blind not to realize that'

One would have to deaf and blind not to realize the danger of islamofacism. My only hope is that if we get hit again, 100% of the ones who die, will be idiots that deny such danger.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Christ is alive."

The irony of what I said has eluded you, and I doubt I can fix that. Try reading my comment again.

Several Christian friends (and my parents) were adamant about seeing it, especially when the MSM and Hollywood "badmouthed" it so much.

The fact that Hollwood hates it is reason enough to support it. :)

If the Word is all you need brother, then take no substitutes!

God bless you.

This is from May 5th. That was when Mel went into crazy 2. Now he has entered crazy 3. Still a good actor and movie maker. ( crazy 5 is Garafalo and Rhodes)

The Desperation of the Mel.

He's in rehab.

I don't think he's giving out interviews to anyone.
