Mel Gibson. I kind of feel bad for the guy. It is a fact that he is a very talented and innovative film actor, director, producer, and entrepreneur. Have you seen Apoclaypto? You have to admit that was a work of art (more of blood, guts, and glory; but art nonetheless!) I mean who else could have pulled playing a half naked Scotsman covered in war paint screaming "Freedom!" ? No one? I thought so. But all this recent controversy that has been haunting him wherever he goes and has been taking a toll on his career and his life.
What controversy you may ask? Well, if you live under a rock in a deep, dark cave, then you probably haven't heard of "Crazy" Mel's recent exploits. The most controversial one, arguably, were his recorded messages he sent to his wife that contained very vulgar language and dangerous threats. He, at one point in all five tapes, threatens to hit, sexually abuse, and disown her if his personal needs were not met. He also commands her, at multiple times, to "blow him" (which means to give him oral sexual pleasure, in case you didn't know. yea) To top it all off? He even adds a couple of racial slurs against African-Americans and blatantly displays his apparent Anti-Semitism while screaming his lungs out in most of the messages.

Like I said, I feel bad for the guy and I'm sure his wife must have done something to him to get him THAT wound up, and THAT psychotic, and we are only getting a one-sided view of the whole issue.
So please people, find it in your heart to try to understand Mel's....well, insanity.
Oh and (as of right now) he's on track to making a cameo appearance in Warner Bros.' The Hangover 2 (AW HELL YEAH). Quick note: This reminds me of Tom Cruise and his crazy days. Remember when he declared his undying love for Katie Holmes on Oprah and started losing control of himself; jumping on couches and screaming like a madman? But see, when he played that one fat dude in Tropic Thunder people suddenly forgot he was crazy. So this will help Mel's career and make people forgive and forget!
Hahaha what a great post. I hope his Hangover endeavors prove to be successful. ;D Thank you for this, dude.
ReplyDeleteI think I do live under a rock, because I had heard that Mel did something to his wife, but wow, that sounds absolutely crazy! Although I heard on TMZ (not the most reliable source of information, I know) that many of the cast of the Hangover 2 were demanding that Mel Gibson not be in the movie. Of course, TMZ was just making fun of the fact that the Hangover had a convicted rapist in the first movie (Mike Tyson), and the cast was getting all bent out of shape about Mel. I’m glad you posted that YouTube of the audio tape, because I was really curious. He sounds like a total lunatic and he’s making an ass of himself; it’s sad.

ReplyDeleteFirst of all, this is a great post! Second, it's ha-larious! Mel Gibson was a great actor, director, and his whole list of occupations, but lets face it he really did sign away his life and career after spouting off crazy threats to his wife. Now, I don't really care about actors' personal lives but I do enjoy the gossip. :P But yes, Mel should've known better than to utter unrational stupid rants. I mean, come on, for someone who's a well-known celebrity, you should know that spats like these are going to make it on FRONT-page covers of the sleazy-trash magazines that are displayed at the supermarket.
ReplyDeleteAs for his featured role on "The Hangover 2", it's not happening. The other day on KROQ, it's been announced that Gibson's role has been forsaken since Zach Blah-blah-blah doesn't like the actor. Apparently, this had a negative influence on the director and YOINK- there goes Gibson's role. No worries for Mel though; we'll still remember the good ol' days of his movies roles in the "Lethal Weapons" saga, "Brave Heart", "Signs", and "The Patriot"! :]
