Really, as far as Mel Gibson goes, I kind of expected the drunken "sugar-tits" behavior. It wasn't a great shock to me. The Jew stuff is a little surprising, but I'm not knocked off my chair.
But you just told me that Mr. Crowe likes to punch people when he's angry, basically making him into an antagonistic asshole. You have made me very sad today. |
he also throws phones at the help, doesn't he?

My first reaction was maybe now Fox News will stop fawning over Mel Gibson as an anti Hollywood hero. My second reaction was disgust that I'm arguing with Fox News in my head. I really need to cut back. _________________ "And then the sea was closed again, above us." |

You know, when I saw Mel on Fox News, that's exactly what I thought, too.

I've known Russell Crowe was a real ponce, for quite a while now. But I hadn't heard much about Mel Gibson's behavior.. so this ones entirely new to me.
As for "Passion of the Christ" I seemed to miss all of the anti-sematic undertones as my brain was convulsing from all of the slowed down action. I swear that movie could've been 35 minutes long if he didn't film every other sequence in sloooooooow motion.
(Btw - to any brittish forum members, I apologize if I used the term "Ponce" incorrectly. =b ) |

I figure that being a drunken bigot/coward/pussy/sexist/and potential public pisser is worse than being a drunken bastard. In the end-run, I'd much rather watch movies involving Russell Crowe than Mel Gibson. _________________ bi-chromaticism is the extraordinary belief that there exists only two options

But Russel Crowe is an Aussie. They constantly get drunk and punch people in the face.
Also, a better link (for me). It's the full episode: http://cartoons.peekvid.com/s1819/e16306/ _________________ attitude of a street punk, only cutting selected words out of context to get onself excuse to let one's dirty mouth loose |

well, gibson is an aussie too.
i've been a little wary of him ever since i heard about his father, who is some sort of loonie fundamentalist catholic nut, who believes vatican two was totally bogus and mass should still be in latin (and that's the mild stuff). mel keeps saying he's not really a follower of his dad's, but then there was all that concern about the anti-semitic slant of 'passion', and there was also some weirds stuff about which groups he would allow to see it in prescreenings (jews apparently not allowed).
it sounds like one of those bits where you are sufficiently incapacitated that you say all those things that you really think deep inside, but normally have the sense to keep under wraps. _________________ aka: neverscared!

It's terrible how all these conspiracy theorists think the Jews may have had a hand in Christ's Death.
The antisemitic bastards. |

Yeah. I think it would pretty much be impossible to tell the story of the Passion in any high profile public forum without someone claiming it was anti-semetic. I thought the Romans came off a lot worse in the movie than the Jews did. _________________ "Whatever afflicts thee, their asses I shall kick"

Even if there wasn't a second of potentially anti-semetic casting or screenplay in Passion, you could probably see this coming a mile away, like with oh mebbe this
(Mel flatly denies that his father is a holocaust denier) |

It gives me odd satisfaction that Mel Gibson and Russel Crowe are arseholes, somehow it seems wrong to dislike them just for being shitty actors. _________________ "You cannot run away from a weakness; you must sometimes fight it out or perish.
