This death gives me the same reaction as: Harry Morgan, Walter Mondale, Wilford Brimley.
Modern Gibson ruins his own films IMO with over done blood & gore. I could not imagine watching Apocalypto, but as people here recommend it I will take a look. I joined a book club at a local church only because I heard it would do Dante's Inferno. That book is the only time I had ever heard of the harrowing of hell over many years of Catholic school.
