Mel Gibson
I was going to weigh in on the current media frenzy surrounding ‘Gibson-gate’ but I think these words from the Good Doctor in an email I received today sum it up better than I could:

ITEM: You would think that there is no other news in
this world with all the fuss over Mel Gibson and his
idiotic movie about Jesus. Some Bible thumper from
town was interviewed on the local news this morning
and was saying how the movie was “accurate”. How does
he know this? Fuck Mel Gibson. Everything he has been
involved with since Road Warrior has been shit shit
shit. The Willamette Week critic said it was more
violent than The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

And from an article in the London News Review about the troubling ‘acts of god’ that occured on the set of ‘Passion’:

This week Jim Caviezel, the actor playing Christ in the film which now has the much snappier title, The Passion of Christ, was struck by lightning for a second time. Steve McEveety, self-confessed Catholic and producer of the film, said, “I’m about a hundred feet away from them when I glance over and see lightning coming out of Caviezel’s ears.” And as if that weren’t enough – coming out of his *ears*, for Christ’s sake – he also had his fingertips burned by a separate bolt earlier in filming.
