Because Mel Gibson Wasn't Popular Enough - Page 2

Radar Online?

Still.

-----------------------
In a further outburst, Mel is heard telling her, "You're a bitch" to which Oksana insists, "I didn't do anything."

"Did so," Mel responds.
------------------------

Best.

Fast and cheap. Couldn't do good.

ETA: btw, that club hand is not my bad photoshop, it's his actual hand. The blue in his hair? That's my bad photoshop.

TP for thy bunghole!

Somehow, Mel Gibson just got WORSE.

The only good thing that comes out of that quote is his saying:

"I will burn down the house but you'll blow me while I'm doing it."


Strangely, that's compelling, like he's trying a real world audition to play bad guys in movies from now on. But the rest of that shit just proves he's a drunk, racist asshole who probably doesn't deserve to make anymore movies.

What would Danny Glover and Chris Rock say, asshole?!

If Mel Keeps this up, the ultra conservative Catholic Splinter Group he belongs to won't want to have him as a member......

Hutton Gibson is a truly awful human being and basically insane. Mel used to defend his epic anti-jew conspiracy rants in the aussie press all the time back in the 80's. It's a little wonder he's turned out a vicious, hateful lunatic like his old man.

I mean Jesus, Mel makes Rusty Crowe look positively quaint by comparison.

This most definitely throws a box of tarantulas on his situation.

There's no way to successfully (to say nothing of sincerely) apologizing for this. Someone cue up that One Republic "song."

Here's to hoping the new Mad Max with Tom Hardy is so awesome it will erase our memories of the old ones, lest we forever sigh when we think of young Mel.

Crowe will beat the shit out of anyone, regardless of race or religion! What a guy!

Hell, Rusty kicked the shit out of cancer for chrissake!!! Let's see Crazy Mel beat that!!!



I kinda love that this Gibson story basically confirms that ole Mel's actually as insane as he was portrayed on South Park.

I've always felt that that there was something sadistic in the practical jokes RIggs played on Murtaugh, that Jimmy Kimmel Colonel Sanders parody is the best thing he has done. or will ever do. Mad Maz indeed.

Enough.

You and I are over with, Mel. I liked you. I'll be honest about that. As a direct decendent of William Wallace (on my mom's side of the family) I thought BRAVEHEART was pretty neat, back in the day. And your deranged torture addicted screen personas were a laugh riot.. until I figured out you were just a sadist who got off on violence. Then you made me feel dirty for liking your films in the first place.

That time is passed, and it will never come again.

Please just disappear now. This is Obama's America, and there is no room for racist australian movie stars when we have perfectly nice folks like Pearce, Crowe, Banna and Jackman doing solid work


Hahaha, I love that

I hope you don't mind, but I just had to share this.

Thank you.

Mel is a despicable human being and I doubt even the best PR handlers can spin this one. Yahoo Serious has a better chance of releasing a new film.

But be honest, you know you want to hit the bars with Mel just once...

I am sad that, as others have stated, this probably spells doom for my old norse viking DiCaprio hopes. That is the only downside I can see to this development

Yeah, I was looking forward to that one, too. I still think he has a lot of talent as a director. But I just don't see how he can bullshit his way out of this one. This is a career killer.

Yes, I have a blood thirsty streak in me that appreciates his deranged dead language mayhem (even if the catholic shit bothers me to no end), but I can't see anyone ever working with him again after this. Didn't Ari Emanuel say that anyone who worked with him should be blacklisted? I guess Ray Winstone didn't take that threat seriously, but these new comments are his worst yet and yes, I expect (and hope) this will end his career

Absolutely. But he ain't driving. And we're going to places with LOTS OF WHITE PEOPLE.

Definitely gonna taint the LETHAL WEAPON series. Even more than part 4 did.

I don't see how Gibson's other celebrity friends like Jodie Foster can defend him now.

If he has any wriggle room, it's that the actual audio hasn't surfaced online yet. We have confirmed reports of the audio's existence, but if his lawyers can keep that audio off the internet and if he can lay low for a while...naw, he's probably still fucked.

One step closer to Homer's remake of "Mr Smith goes to Washington"!

Also, not cool Mel. Not Cool.
This wipes out any good will you generated from that "The Coronel" sketch you did on Kimmel.

Actually, if he lays low, denies everything (or parries) the few times he does surface, and if the audio is never leaked, he could conceivably make it through this with only a few lumps. That is the very best case scenario.

Are you all kidding? Everyone loves a comeback.

Eddie Murphy came back after being buster with a tranny, so did Hugh Grant. This will hurt him in the short term, sure. But 4 years from now, it will all be in the past.

If only South Park was on the air...

To Tati, consistent explosive racism = sex with prostitutes. Noted.

It's a scandal.
Sure, this is worse, but in the public eyes, it's a scandal. I picked those 2 because they were the first to come to mind.

No scandal is big enough to kill a career in Hollywood. Specially if the star is huge. OJ might be the exception.

Because in 2010 Mel Gibson is currently a "huge star".

If the Jew thing never happened, he could cry on Oprah, suck off Al Sharpton, and crawl through the other side with no deep wounds. But this is incident number deuce, and he never fully recovered from the first incident.

Yes he did, everyone was REALLY excited about Edge of Darkness. Then the movie turned out to be crap. But he had that, The colonel skit on Kimmel, The Beaver film and the Norse Viking directing gig with Di Caprio.
He was coming back, big.

Really? Everyone was REALLY excited about Edge of Darkness? Really? REALLY excited? Honestly? Really really?

Yes. How bored are you?
The point i'm making is that while what he did is terrible, there ain't scandal big enough a star can't come back from. Calling this a career killer is stupid.

We just had half the nation running rallies on this very kind of platform for a national election! Where's their comeuppance?

Seriously, you chortle, snicker and cluck your tongues over one crazy artist while your nation dismantles itself piece by hateful, bigoted piece. They'll be no more Panama Canals. No more Empire State Buildings. We're on the down escalator and the to-be-expected ravings of a guy who comes from the very type of narrow-minded religious environment that engenders this shit is the top of the priorities list?

Well, don't worry. You can clear your consciences with platitudes and virtual indignation in the latest child molestation thread.

Nothing's going to happen, not because it doesn't warrant it, but because that's the way your culture operates. Knee-jerk noise and pious raving, lots of wind and smoke, people like Rob Schneider and Princess Kate tearing their shirts and then something else distracts the phototropic cow nation. He produced his own work before, he'll do it again.

Folks here need some serious education with the humanities. Creepy, amoral, eccentric and flat-out batshit thinking and acting is far from uncommon in the arts. The greatest contributors to western art have been less than ideal human beings. That's the gloriously complex tragedy of human nature.

Again, what's your bigger problem? Mel Gibson, Richard Wagner, Walt Disney, Henry Ford and Orson Scott Crazy? Or your neighbors and relatives who run political rallies waving guns, chanting insane and ignorant lies and skipping sleep in the pursuit of removing as many of your rights as they can?

Me thinks you need to relax. Here, have a drink with Mel...

Cool the sarcasm a bit, will ya?

It seemed like a pretty good movie and Mel hadn't stared in anything since '02.

...are we not allowed to make bad Lethal Weapon jokes? Is that's what's upsetting you?

I can't speak for Soylent, but the man's dome probably cracked.

Could have been due to the Brazil loss.

Well, as usual, you people have everything all upside down and turned around and back to front.

It's okay, man, I didn't like Lethal Weapon 4 either.

Ha ha. Probably. I wheel out that sentiment whenever I smell folks forgetting to "trust the art, not the artist". The contrast with the tenor of nation as of the last two years is just sand in my bathing suit.

Plus, the people who made and kept Mel Gibson a star were the fat, white housewives of America/Oprah's herd. If the Great New Age Cowhand hadn't told them to vote for Obama, I guarantee you that they'd have been full-blown "Sarah fans." Insulting black people doesn't apply directly to them and doesn't detract from his status as their fap fodder, so it's kind of hopeful to think that the public is going to take a stand against him on principle.

That wasn't sarcasm, Ed, that was exaggeration. If I said "Oh yeah, because everyone was REALLY excited about Edge of Darkness", that'd be sarcasm. What I was doing was questioning Tati's statement, at exaggerated lengths.

But I guess I can't expect someone who was excited about Edge of Darkness to understand English.

That's the same thing. But this isn't English 101.

Anyway, it's a shame for the guy. But is any of this surprising?

I know a couple of people who were mildly enthused to check out EDGE OF DARKNESS ... once it showed up in their Netflix queues.

C'mon, that was all after the reviews. It was Mel coming back in an action role with Martin Campbell directing coming after Casino Royale. It looked good on paper.

The movie is terrible. Like, really REALLY REAAALLY terrible. But before all the reviews and reports, i had hope.

Why? The man is undeniably talented both in front of and behind the camera. Do people really care this much that he said something retarded while upset in the privacy of his own home to someone who he apparently despises?

I'd figure fans of the guy's films would...I dunno...want to see the guy's films.

Yeah, i mean, if i remember it right, Hollywood has something of a history with assholes making great movies.

History is filled with assholes making great art. Mel is a great filmmaker.

He is a miserable, awful human being.

But whoever said earlier in this thread that they'd still go bar hopping with him - sign me up. That would be a time to remember.

What does the National Pork Association have to say about him calling her a "pig"?

Mel's obviously an "anti-swineite".

I don't "hope" this will end his career. I am a fan of his filmmaking. I just can't imagine a studio giving him tens or hundreds of millions of dollars when they would get ripped apart in terms of marketing and publicity. Every article written would be about his actions and not the films. This already happened to an extent during the publicity of "Apocalypto" (the that film's lack of stars also hurt). And he doesn't have the half assed excuse of being drunk this time. There's just no way the marketing machine can put a positive spin on "pack of niggers".

What if Mel comes out and says: "I'm not racist. Some of my friends are packs of n*****s."

He meant it as a Wolf Pack.
