He never really did anything in the first place. Lethal Weapon maybe but that's about it.

FREEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOM!
In all seriousness, aside from having a skrew loose in the head, i quite like many of the films he's been in.
I tend to judge actors by their acting, not their personal lives anyway.

to be honest, people who spew a racial and ethnic slurs once in a while dont bother me as much as people who whine on about political correctness, equality and living together in harmony etc

So?
who in a personal private phone call/conversation hasn't said things like this? just because he's an actor doesn't make him any less human.
IF he did these things standing on a milk crate in the middle of times square I could understand the rather quick ending to his acting but from a personal call.. get over it.
"PC" has gotten a little out of hand as too many people are jumping on the "I took offense to what you just said"
To me he's a good actor and I've seen every film hes done and loved everyone. (inc the chick flick ones)

Sure. Whatever he said will soon be forgotten. Personally I dont know what he said or did, but people will forget. They allways do. And if Polanski have no trouble making films, I cant see that Gibson should have any problems acting either..

why wouldn't he?
no such thing as bad press imo. if he makes or stars in a GOOD movie, people will see it. end of story.
ps - getting tired of this whole modern day obsession with the private lives of celebrities. I'm glad that in Canada we at least have some news sites/television channels/etc that don't talk about him and pass it off as news.

It has already been mentioned in this thread, Roman Polanski got a 13 year old girl drunk then drugged her and sodomized her, both are bad but I know which is worse, seems fame does mean people will ignore your "little indiscretions".

Ah yes, the tried and true boogyman: "PC".
PC keeps me from acting like a douchebag around other people - without repercussions. Yes indeed, without that blasted PC monster, I'd still be able to smear cat **** in my hair and run around like a raving lunatic. Curse you PC for your fun ruining ways!
Here's a hint:
"PC" doesn't exist in the way you think it does. The whining about having to be politically correct is based on the fact that you have to behave with civility around other people these days. Basically ~ if you want to be a ****ing drooling dirtbag, you still can be - but people will note that you're a ****ing miserable drooling dirtbag and disregard you as such. You're still free to act, speak, and behave like a bigot, sexist, racist, or combination thereof - but other people can and will note that you're a miserable ****ing bigot, sexist, racist or combination thereof - and disregard you as little more than human trash.

I'd rather deal with the bigots, sexists, racists, etc than the other human trash I deal with daily. That's the regular everyday people going about there business. Ever since I became disabled I have found more people to be selfish, impatient, and miserable pieces of crap then I ever thought possible.

I care about Mel Gibson's personal life as much as he cares about mine.
On screen, I think he did some great stuff with Braveheart and We Were Soldiers. Sarcasm - Because i'm too far away to strangle you. |

Well ... first off ... PC should stand for Political Crap ... because that's what it is ... but that's a whole topic in and of itself.
Now ... as to Mel Gibson ...
When I heard those tapes on CNN ... the first thing to cross my mind was:
"What the hell did she do to **** that guy off so much?"
I mean - you look at all these talking heads running their mouths and automatically jumping on the guy ... and they're ignoring the fact that ... there's usually two sides to these things.
Now ... think about it ... yes - she's all calm and such while he's screaming himself hoarse ... but then ... she knows that she's recording this ... now ... doesn't she?
The more I've heard about this ... mostly from those tapes ... the more I've come to the conclusion - that she was a younger woman who manipulated an older man into spending a lot of money on her (apparently like 5 million dollars). But ... my guess here ... is that the thing that has really enraged this guy - is that whatever else you say about him - he cares about his kids. She's gotten herself pregnant with his child and now that it's born - seems to be using that child to create some kind of a hold over the man. No wonder he's ****ed.
Also - there have been a number of people who've pointed out that she has a history of taking up with some older man, using him for all he's worth and then chucking him aside when she can get her hands on more money from some other guy. Mel ... just happens to be the latest guy she's taken advantage of.
Now - apparently - she's to be investigated for extortion. Whether it's in connection with the tapes or something else ... I don't know but she may well have over played her hand.
Now ... is Mel Gibson a perfect human being? No - but then neither am I. I've gotten really ****ed and cussed out some people in the past - who frakking deserved it. They may not have thought so - but I did - thus the two sides to the issue.
So ... what do we know about Mel Gibson? That he's played tough guys in a lot of action movies, that he has a temper and that he can come right back at people if he thinks they're attacking him - as I have seen him do is some interviews. To my mind - and I despise reporters - these people deserved to have someone come right back at them. Soo ... there are reporters out there that don't like him. Joy Behar doesn't like him - but then Joy Behar is a moron ... so who cares what she thinks?
Now ... if Mel did hit her ... as is also being investigated - then yeah - he's going to get in trouble for that ... and that's just the way it goes. But did she intentionally provoke him into hitting her? Listen to the woman on those tapes and ... maybe she did. There are manipulative people out there who will do that.
If she wasn't a manipulative person - she would have mentioned that she was recording that conversation ... Not mentioning that is something else which might get her in trouble. I don't know about individuals - but corporations have to tell you if they are recording your conversation with one of their people. You hear that all the time calling tech support. "This conversation may be recorded ... etc. etc. ..."
The world has lots of PEOPLE male and female - who make it their business in life to take advantage of other people. Right now - it seems to me that she is one of these people.
So - Mel may well be in the wrong for some of the things he's done ... but then ... this woman may not be all sweetness and light either.
In any case - we - may never know. It's like a lot of these things ... the truth is complex and it's presentation by the media simplistic and sensational. *shrug*

Edited by: Slade Trillgon on 26/07/2010 11:28:10 Once at a Blockbuster store I tried to purchase a used video game. The teller would/could not charge me using my debit card and was completely unable to explain why he was unable to use it. I really flipped out on the guy. I turned around and a guy was standing there with his two little girls I instantly felt like a total ass, apologized to the guy and his girls and left.
That being said, people throwing around ethnic slurs in public and/or private, no matter the situation, are weak minded individuals IMHO.
As for the Polanski issue, most people in the US would not be able to tell you who Polanski is, much less what he did. Mel Gibson on the other hand is better known. I do not think that his career is ruined, but it is definitely in need of some massive public image repair. He definitely needs some Neutral Remote Repping.
EDIT: I am also tired of people crying about PC bull****. If you want to say something say it you weaklings. If you think you have a right to say it, do it and deal with the repercussions. If you are unable to defend your usage then I guess your power of rhetoric needs some work or you need to move to a place that accepts your verbiage. Otherwise stop crying about it on forums.

I've never understood, why some are so transfixed on other peoples lives.
I wouldn't be surprised to find, that those most shocked and appalled by Mel's actions, if you got to know them well, you wouldn't **** on them to put out a fire.

I approve and agree with this post, with the convention that Road Warrior is the most interesting of the trilogy.
THIS THREAD IS NOW ABOUT MAD MAX. DEAL WITH IT.
That gas truck escort part of the movie, and the fortress and everything about that movie has been a pretty solid source of inspiration for games and films and things for decades now.

Actually you can thank Foucault for this crap. And the other agenda pushing post-modernist psychophants that keep pushing it. In fact if I could say that there was something wrong with the modern world, it would be the corpus of post-modernist thought, which includes PC as a subsumed category of fail. Trolls? In my EVE forums? It's more likely than you think...
