Pope John Paul II: The Movie!

*Raph's Girl* · 04-13-2005, 10:12 PM

From imdb.com:

Movie star Mel Gibson is reportedly planning to follow his controversial The Passion Of The Christ with a movie about the Pope John Paul II - who died this month aged 84. The deeply religious actor/director is the member of a strict Catholic sect called the 'Holy Family'. According to American website Pagesix.Com, Gibson dispatched a film crew to the Vatican City on Friday to capture crowd scenes at the late pontiff's funeral for future use.

Soo.. first we get a comic (Popeman), and a cartoon series (Popetown), and now we got a movie...who saw this coming?? *raises her hands*...

Meanwhile I'll go continue looking to see if "Pope Joan"(a movie about the legendary female Pope) is on DVD...cuz I REALY wanna see it...

Cashing in on a religious figure's death. For shame....

Can't they just leave him alone? Can't they just leave him dead? No, they must butcher his name... Thank you, world.

I just can't believe they're actually allowing people to go into the catacombs to view his grave!!! As Michelangelo says "Crazyose!"

Eh, it was going to happen eventually. No sooner does an important historical figure die than someone scoops up the rights to produce a film about their lives.

Gibson's just jumping on this while the body's still warm. Took him 'bout 2000 years to scoop up the death of Jesus, ala Passion o' the Christ. 700 years to claim William Wallace from Braveheart. And just over 200 years to sh*t all over both sides of the Revolutionary War in the Patriot.

If I die and a movie is made about my [mediocre] life, I want someone kick ass to play the role of me. And half the film being that of explosions and people flying in the air thanks to said explosions. And Jerry Bruckheimer's involvement.

Mel Gibson should stick to acting instead of directing.He should do another Mad Max movie.

Its Time for another installment of...

Stryker's KWAZY religous views!

The Pope is dead and Mel "I like Money" Gibson is looking to cash in on red state voters and stupid people yet again.The Passion of the Christ was a Cplus movie at best, Two hours of a guy getting whipped and Beaten isn't a Movie.. see Temptation waay better. Damn Monty Python was more accurate than his Movie and the continous re-hashes of the movie and the new Pope flick, Gibson's just cashing in on America's Facination with Religon.

I respond with a Mighty "Woopty ****in' Doo"

This Has Been...
