A-what-a-lypto?

Not that I was ever inclined to go see Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto in the first place, but this Wired blog entry debunks some myths Gibson is trying to perpetuate in this movie with Cold Hard Facts… or history, it’s one of the two. In any case, a reasonably short and very satisfying read.

ETA: ok, I’m reading the many, many comments on that blog entry bashing the author and the review. Somehow, I’m still feeling that sense of satisfaction at Gibson-bashing. He’s been on my $hit-list for a while now. So judge for yourself whether it’s an accurate review, is what I’m saying. :)
