It certainly accentuates his craziness.
Mel is a movie directing genious…..his mind/soul and life has been in work, no rest no play, therefore when its REST time he dousnt know how to do it properly….take time out Mel and chill!!
Would you rather have the hug of a good woman or a cold bottle of vodka with a pink bow wrapped round it……your call…….
I came here looking for evidence of Gibson’s racism and anti-semitism. I see some public trash talking about gays, some private tantrums in phone calls, and some lines from other people’s scripts.
He sounds like a bad husband, bad boyfriend and a drunk. But it also sounds like some folks have decided to paint him as a racist without much evidence. And people lap it up.
I take it up the ass. Mel, take me
I’m sensing a connection between you and Mel.
People think he’s crazy or whatever, and maybe he is, but I agree with much of what he said in his personal quotes…and he is a genius. And the things he said to his plastic surgery poster child of an ex-girlfriend only make me think that she isn’t such a great person, even more than I did before. She is not a victim people! Get a clue!
This should be called the “Mel Gibson is an Asshole” page. Is there another Hollywood figure with as many quotes that says, “I’m a miserable human being?” You could say this was an isolated incident with most other actors, but this is multiple incidents and interviews over a twenty year period. That Frank Rich quote sounds like someone who has really internalized his Christianity.
