That lady is lame...


I wanna make a movie from the Epic of Gilgamesh, I want it to be bigger than Troy and I won't use pussies like Orlando/barf!

I, too, would love to see a movie about Gilgamesh. Although this ethereal story is the oldest in our human heritage, it conflicts sharply with the dominant Judeo-Christian-Islamic belief systems which are currently prevalent throughout much of the world. The basic message of the story --- that it is futile to pine for an afterlife --- would unfortunately be horrifying to many. Too bad, really. I'd love to see who'd be cast as Ishtar!!

I really love this....so much. I have watched this quite a few times already and love it more and more each time.

It would be cool to hear it in the original language, though!
