I think Mel was drunk.

Mel is in deep shock he just got his gas bill from British Gas. ;) :lol:

I guess he has now apologized for the 'despicable' things he said. Lay off the sauce Mel. Leave the goofy outbursts to Tom Cruise.

This is why I don't go to the movies anymore. Mel Gibson has been playing the good Catholic for some time now, saying that he has reformed and turned against his old, drunken ways. Perhaps not so, and this tends to shape popular American opinion against anyone holding to such a faith, not because the type of faith is conceived as facetious, but rather because, generally speaking, the public is incredibly stupid.

It could be that a federal regulation barring Hollywood celebrities from discussing their faith could alleviate this. Of course, a law barring celebrities from discussing any matter what-so-ever would certainly be a superior idea. Only this may end up protecting the public from themselves.

I don't think he's been "playing" at that - where is the earthly incentive in living a good Christian life, especially when you're incredibly rich and can trade it in for the hedonism enjoyed by everyone else?

The guy fell off the wagon, in a spectacular way, but it happens. He went a step further and broke the law and made an @ss of himself, but that happens too. To everyone, whether a celebrity or not. The only thing "special" about this is that because of his celebrity it is considered news.

Agreed. :up:

Anybody care to throw this thread off topic?

You have my vote. But I'd go further. Any celebrity caught talking about anything they don't have the slightest clue of should be shot on sight by the nearest armed person. In the event that there isn't any weapon or improvised blunt, slashing or cutting object nearby, spanking to death with bare fists will suffice.

I'm sure like every fallen celebrity once he makes the obligatory pilgrimage to the Holy church of Oprah and does a tearful contrite confession onstage he will be forgiven. ;)

I hope so. The guy's an outstanding actor and makes excellent movies while avoiding the lemons so many otherwise good actors are drawn to just for a paycheck. A lot of my all time favourite movies are Mel Gibson movires as well, such as Braveheart and Payback to name just two.

As to celebrities having opinions, I say why not, everyone else has one and I can separate the actor's opinions on an issue from my valuation of his acting ability. Then there is the fact that some of these guys lend their "opinions" and efforts and names, and even money, to good causes, like charities, that benefit tremendously from the actor's support.

[SUBMAN1]

At least his religion lets and expects him to fall off the bandwagon so that he can go back and try again. Try that with some other religions and you might get stoned!

[Yahoshua]

Want some beef? :hmm:

[tycho102]

Mel shouldn't have been in the car doing 90mph in a 45. It just makes things so much worse that he was lit when he was doing it.

However, I'll say this. How many other "celebrities" have come right the hell out and said they were in the wrong, they're sorry for cussing the cops, and it was their bad? Mel has courage, and it's uncommon courage in this day and age.

[kiwi_2005]

Mel is a farkin wa*ker! I mean his life is farked, yeah right hes got millions, he'll pay his way out, and hes upset over a drunk driving incident? Big deal. Funny tho he rambles on about the Jews what an idiot, was that just drunk talk or did he really mean what he said...

Exactly...agree completely.

If this had been some average Joe Blow of the street you would have never heard a word about it.He would have went through the system paid his fines served his sentance and been on his way and nothing else would be said about it.

But you all seem to think that because Mel Gibson is on TV and a celebrity he should not be allowed to be human and should live at some higher standard that you set.Wrong..he is a person just like you and I..nothing more.He makes the same mistakes we do.Everyone here has been in one form of trouble in their lives at one time or another.Heck some of you have probably even gotten drunk and did or said some things you regret later on.It happens its called being being human.Just because he is a face on a screen does not mean he has to be any different or live up to a higher set of standards.

As was said..he fell off the wagon in a big way.It happens around the world everyday..you just dont hear about it because the rest are not famous.

taken from German satire magazine "Titanic" (translation by me):

"Gibson sets a good example"

After Mel Gibson's remorseful confession of not being an anti-Semite but a problem drinker, Iranian president Ahmadinedschad has admitted that he actually has nothing against Jews but has an overpowering secret drug and alcohol problem. The membership figures of the "Alcoholics Anonymous South Lebanon" (formerly: "Hezbollah") have increased tenfold over the last 24 hours. :88)

People give Mel such a hard time. But it doesn't change the fact that he's still white hot and sexy.:up: Just ask my mom. Plus he has proven he can cry. Such a deep guy.:oops:

Sorry to bump but I had the giggles watching Mel's new movie trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ae_Kskfw6c). :p

I guess his career in showbusiness is pretty much over considering most of the top names in the industry are Jewish. Spielberg won't be calling Mr. Gibson anytime soon for an audition I doubt. How would a Jewish actor or actress feel being around him now? What a shame. I never thought he was like that. I used to love his movies but now I would have a hard time watching any of them. Well his movies will serve one last purpose I suppose. I am out of charcoal for my patio grill? :hmm:

What is Mels latest movie trailer?

Yeah i loved his movies, Braveheart and We were Soldiers were awesome. His Jesus movie was a real hit for me as well, a gory bloodfest. Alcohol can make a person say some very very regretful things - he probably wanted to curl up and die the morning after:D. Silly man! Still it could end up turning it around and making him more popular - the bad boy of showbussiness!

Im sure Iran will be glad to hire him in their movies:arrgh!:

And on the Pacific Coast Highway no less. That road is always crawling with cops.

My favorite drunk PCH story concerns an incident with the director John Boorman, I believe it was. He and Lee Marvin were out drinking one night and Lee was too drunk to drive so Boorman went to drive him home to Malibu. Lee, however, would not get in the car. He would only ride on the roof of the station wagon on the luggage rack. So Boorman heads north up the PCH about 2:30 AM with Marvin sitting cross-legged on top of the luggage rack. He gets about 10 miles up from Santa Monica and gets pulled over by the Highway Patrol. The first words out of the cop's mouth:

Did you know you had Lee Marvin riding on the roof of your car?

No offense to anyone but i have a strange feeling that if he whould have mentioned any other religion other then jewish this whould be no big deal

Really? What precedents do you base yourself on?

Christians and Muslims don't have a voice and don't care?

Not only that, how many top celebrities, when in a drunken stupor, have been found to reveal such rabid diatribes of hate against anyone (ex-spouses and agents excluded :|\\ )?

I am offended by Mel Gibson's comments as well and I am not Jewish. He obviously views himself as a higher being to Jews because of his religion. I find this SINFUL!! Go to Hell Mel! :down:

People who drink and speak are telling people exactly how they feel about something or somebody. Alcohol removes inhibitions meaning that they are more open and willing to do what they want, without control, and without fear of the outcome. This is why I can't view him anymore (sober or not) without knowing that when he is sober, it's the only thing controlling his true feelings, therefore; he's lying to himself and to everyone around him. Alcohol is the TRUE lie detector. Since his drunken stuper showed that he truely hates Jews (just like Hitler did) it shows that he is no better a person morally. Had he been a Nazi during the Holocaust, just imagine how evil he would have allowed himself to become. Scary to think about really!

Not sure about the situation in the US, but in Europe some Muslim group would probably already be plotting to get him if he'd said something bad about them.

Christians, probably not, they're used to this kind of abuse.

That was fun. Thanks nutty Mr Gibson.

My score was 2298.

My blood alcohol level was 1.575% which I guess isn't bad for someone who doesn't drink. At that level I would think the person would either be dead or in hospital having their stomach pumped. :o

Im not sure I'd even go to the movies if the stars weren't more or less nutters the lot of them. Why stare at normal people doing makebelieve on a screen? Nah, it takes star quality these days. They gotta have some vice or quirky quirk or it isn't proper entertainment. From insane minds comes the most profound works.
