Satire

This didn't take long. Steve Martin makes some comments on Mel Gibson's The Passion. A selection of quotes:

Dear Mel, We love, love the script! The ending works great. You'll be getting a call from us to start negotiations for the book rights...Does it matter which garden? Gethsemane is hard to say, and Eden is a much more recognisable garden. Just thinking out loud...Could he change water into wine in the Last Supper scene? Would be a great moment, and it's legit: history compression is a movie tradition and it could really brighten up the scene. Great trailer moment, too...Could the rabbis be Hispanic? There's lots of hot Latino actors now, could give us a little zing at the box office...Is there someplace where Jesus could be using an iBook? Maybe we start a shot in Heaven with Jesus thoughtfully closing the top...Could the Crucifixion scene involve something else? A Toyota would be wrong, but maybe there's a shape we can copyright, like a wagon wheel?
I am considering subscribing to the New Yorker just to see the whole thing.
