Anti-Catholic: New mega-movie "2012" is directed by one

Like Matthew Archbold at Catholic Minority Report, "I'm a movie guy." So yes, I was mildly interested in the new movie coming out this weekend "2012". 

Mr. Archbold, however, has noticed something, er, a bit odd about the subject matter for many of the scenes in the movie's trailer - how many Catholic icons/people do you see get destroyed?

Matthew caught at least six, and that got him searching on Google:

Roland Emmerich, the director, is, according to numerous sources, openly gay and an activist liberal. But hey, it's Hollywood, who isn't?

I wondered if this guy has some sort of distaste for things Catholic. And darn it but what do I find? I warn you this is kinda weird.

In a closet in his house, Mr. Emmerich has a statue of Pope John Paul II laughing while reading his own obituary. That's right. Pope John Paul II. In a closet. Laughing while reading his own obituary. You don't believe me, right? Well, look and see.

Matthew uncovered more truly bazaar stuff about Emmerich, which I'll leave up to you to find out. But it's pretty clear: this twisted individual has decided to bankroll his Church-destroying fantasies on a big Hollywood budget. Let's not help him defray his costs.

Besides, it's scoring in the low 30's on movie meta-review website Rotten Tomatoes, so it's not like you're missing out on the movie of the year or anything.
