Heard the latest?  Mel Gibson is planning on making a film about Judah Maccabee for Warner Brothers.  Is he crazy?  Uh, yeah; he pretty much confirmed that awhile back.

Luckily, the Jewish Powers That Be aren’t stupid, and they’ve jumped on this.

The cherry on top of this shit sundae?  Joe Eszterhaus is jumping in to help.  Am I the only one thinking that this will do for Hanukkah what Showgirls did for Elizabeth Berkley?

The only way this dumb-joke-made-real could be even halfway decent is if Gibson casts someone other than himself as the lead, lets someone else direct and keeps a low profile as executive producer.  But hey, Mel ain’t exactly known for keeping out of the spotlight.

Sigh.
