i love the part where a guy is getting killed by a jaguar and it looks about as fake as the cougar from talladega nights

3/5/2010 2:31:52 AM

i think braveheart and the patriot are the same movie

3/5/2010 2:35:07 AM

It's ok to be wrong sometimes, kadwhackle.

3/5/2010 2:41:24 AM

Gallipoli is really good. The Patriot is so historically inaccurate and blatantly pro-American that I can never decide whether I think it's awesome or terrible. I want to see Apocalypto -- I hear it's good. Braveheart is great, terrible accents be damned. And hell, I'll say it, The Passion was pretty decent for what it was, even if "what it was" is the film version of medieval passion play.

What's the South Park line from "Imaginationland" about him? "Say what you will about Mel Gibson, but that man knows story structure" or some such.

HAY GUYS DON'T FORGET SIGNS.

3/5/2010 3:01:45 AM

seriously? i can't be the only one that thinks all mel gibson movies are the same but set in different time periods.

esp braveheart and the patriot

let me refresh your memory: mel gibson running and killing people with the american flag??? does this SOUND familiar to anyone?

I hear where you're coming from. Surprisingly clever and educated bad-ass tries to stay out of a fight, someone fucks with his family, so he gets into the fight and whups all ass. But a lot of people, myself included, kinda like that premise.

^^I don't care what anybody says I kinda liked Signs.

3/5/2010 3:05:31 AM

listen i'm not denying the fact that i watch braveheart AND the patriot everytime they are on tv

i'm just saying. there are some crazy similarities

3/5/2010 3:06:28 AM

the patriot sucks

braveheart is too long

3/5/2010 3:08:32 AM

I am of the opinion that the movies you like suck and are too long also

as you are entitled to be, sir

i will say that i am extra critical of mel gibson because he is an A1 hollywood douchebag

3/5/2010 3:12:22 AM

i saw gallipoli in high school, but i don't remember mel gibson actually being in much of it

3/5/2010 3:13:47 AM

Gibson was one of the two main characters in Gallipoli.

And I agree, vinyl, that Mel Gibson is a USDA certified grade-A sack of shit, to say nothing of the fact that he may be so far out there that he needs to be muzzled for the public safety.

I think I read somewhere that he got his first big part (Mad Max, maybe) because he drove a buddy to the audition after a night of heavy drinking and maybe a brawl. He looked so beat up and hungover that he looked perfect for the part. So yeah, a guy who broke into movies by acting inappropriately while drinking too much.

(Of course, that may all be false so who knows)

3/5/2010 3:21:01 AM

I haven't seen Braveheart, lol.

I don't know how that happened.

Do I still get a man-card?

Payback was a fucking awesome movie.

fuck you guys, mel gibson rules.

Don't forget bdmazur is like superjew

3/5/2010 8:15:37 AM

oh i remember

3/5/2010 8:20:50 AM

I HATE MEL GIBSONS GUTS BUT I FUCKING LOVE "WHAT WOMEN WANT"

3/5/2010 8:22:46 AM

I'll go in for Air America and the first two Mad Max movies.

3/5/2010 8:44:46 AM

I've never met him in person, but when he was in Rock Hill filming the Patriot, alot of people I knew did meet him and said he was a nice guy



that being said, I love his movies, both acting and directing (note: I haven't seen Passion nor do I plan to), but hate his stance against Jews

3/5/2010 8:46:41 AM

not a big fan of The Patriot.

Braveheart is fucking awesome.

I'm gonna throw Payback in there. I really enjoy that movie.

3/5/2010 9:39:53 AM

even in my sober state i still maintain braveheart and the patriot are the same movie

3/5/2010 10:13:47 AM

The Patriot has Bensons mortal enemy - Clayton Endicott III.

But after the HILARIOUS blueberry tooth scene - the movie sucked balls.

3/5/2010 10:17:46 AM

Can't wait for his movie about Vikings, that shit will be sweet

3/5/2010 10:20:55 AM

"Some nice guy getting revenge on bad people who fucked with his friends/family" is the premise of almost every action movie. You can't be harpin on Mel for that. Gladiator, True Lies, Die Hard, Air Force 1, Face-Off, The Fugitive....ok Harrison Ford does it a lot too.

You CAN harp on him for being a religious nut.

When Myspace was relatively new I created an account for Mel Gibson. A few months later it had something like 10,000 friends. People were constantly contacting me offering free food/gear if I would stop by their store/restaurant and let them take some pics of me in their establishment. I think the kicker was the dude who did a huge "Passion of the Christ" wood carving and wanted to donate it to me. I responded that I cannot accept gifts, but if he would send me a pic I would put it in my photo gallery. Shortly thereafter the account was deleted. Presumably Mel or his management team became aware of it and whined about it to Myspace.

I was a really good Mel Gibson though. I was always nice and apologized publicly in my blog that I did not have time to respond to every PM I received. I told the fans how much I appreciated their support, etc. It really helped some people through tough times. I don't know why Mel would get upset. You'd think he would thank me or maybe hire me as his internet liaison.

I like the characters he's portrayed through the years, and his movies, more than i like him as a person.

3/5/2010 11:31:41 AM

LOL... we watched the Patriot in class an hour ago. What a coincidence.

3/5/2010 11:41:04 AM

Ransom was also a decent movie, not great, but decent.

3/5/2010 6:20:20 PM

90% of his roles are a guy with a dead wife.

3/5/2010 6:23:51 PM

did anyone mention Gibson's best movie, Apocolypto?

3/5/2010 6:25:48 PM

3/5/2010 6:27:39 PM

I liked him in "Apocalypse Now".
