Somewhere, Ron Maxwell looks up from a stupor and wonders the possibilities….Gone With The Wiener.
I can see the cast
Bobby Flat as Rhett Butler
Rachel Ray as Scarlett O’Hara
Giada DeLaurentiss as Melanie Wilkes
Alton Brown as Ashley Wilkes
Emeril Legasse as PGT Beauregard
Mario Batali as Gerald O’Hara
Robert Irvine as Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Fremantle
And a special appearance by Paula Deen as Mary Chestnut
There’s a good music track to go with Mel’s Colonel Spoof.

It is as big a waste of time as Mel’s movie short…equally funny!!!
It’s hysterical! Thanks, Kevin. As for the Abraham Lincoln book, while I’m still not sure if I want to read it, I don’t have problems with books that are clear that they are not pretending to be historically accurate.
Ha – so it looks like whenever Mel is not spewing anti-semetism, misogyny, or hating the English, he actually has a sense of humor.
Mel redefines what it means for actors to take risks with their roles.
Check out his father. It doesn’t excuse Mel, but it explains a lot.
No thanks. One nutty Gibson is sufficient. 🙂
I have read the Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter book. Ridiculous, of course, but kind of fun as long as you understand and acknowledge the ridiculousness. It’s a quick read. You can get through it in a day.
I loved how it seemed to match up with the history in every aspect so much that it made sense. It was such a fun leisure read.
Out of curiosity, has anyone read that book; Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter
I have no plans to read it.
You owe it to yourself.
WTF?
No questions, James. Just sit back and enjoy. 🙂
They left out the seen where the Jewish cop pulls him over and….
Mel: I love it… you have completely redeemed yourself, brother, with this spoof… it looks damned good… why aren’t Danny Glover and I in it along with you…finger lickin’ good! AB
I posted it back in 2009, but I thought it deserved to be re-aired. It’s a classic.
An academy award performance !! And Mel wasn’t too bad either ! 😉
