Mel Gibson wants to make a movie about Jesus and have it in two ancient languages – Latin and Aramaic – with no subtitles. I think this is a good idea. I had Latin in high school, and there wasn’t very much interesting stuff out there to translate. The Romans, despite killing lots of people, never made any movies. This one guy Virgil wrote this epic called Aeneid, but he didn’t really ever finish it, and, frankly, it does need some editing (those guys need to lay off the semicolons). So more cool stuff in Latin would have made class more interesting, and watching a movie, any movie, is usually better than the regular work. Hopefully schools won’t get scared away from it because it involves Jesus; some people don’t like religious stuff like that though I thought everyone liked Jesus. He was real nice guy to everyone and he never lost his temper… well, except for that one time when he freaked out and started knocking over table in a temple (note to self: when asking, “What would Jesus do?” remember that the answer is sometimes “Freak out and knock over tables.”) Anyway, when they show the movie here, I hope they leave enough lights on in the theater so I can read my Latin dictionary and perhaps understand every eighth word or so (“He said ‘es’, that means he’s telling that guy ‘you are’ something.”).
