As if it wasn’t enough to have David Irving on Mel Gibson’s side (see yesterday’s post), the Merlin of Berkeley Springs has interviewed Chac, god of the ancient Mayans, about his feelings on the subject of Ol’ Meller’s newest movie, Apocalypto. (Or as you might want to call it, “Nothing but an excuse to film The Patriot on a whole different continent.”)
Anne: And your verdict on Apocalypto?
Chac: Inaccurate in all but the smallest details. Insulting. Especially coming from a person whose praise and worship team has done its share of torturing, maiming, mass executions, and psychological damage.
Anne: Yes. Well. One would like to see Mr. Gibson tackle a bloody topic like the suppression of the Cathars or the Knights Templar by the Catholic Church. If he wants to wade knee-deep through blood he need look no further than Jacques de Molay.
Chac: Thank you for making that point. My sentiments exactly.
Anne: How did you like the part where the good Catholic missionaries came riding in to save the day … like, 400 years early or something?
Chac: I tossed my ayahuasca.
Anne: I daresay. (The Gods Are Bored)
Friends and neighbors, let me tell you, The Gods Are Bored is always a good way to get a chuckle into your day. Whoever the Merlin is, she is now my personal goddess. I’ll be getting together a P & W team for her very shortly.
