Gibson Goes Nuts
Well, the public love affair with Mel Gibson lasted a good, long time. Now, it’s over.
Let’s try and remember the good moments. Let us remember him as Tim, the friendly retard, or Mad Max, kicking post-apocalytic ass. Let us remember him stealing from Henry IV when he delivered his address to the troops in Braveheart, and screaming FREEEEEDOM as they pulled his entrails from his body. Let us remember that no wisecracking cop ever cracked wiser than Martin Riggs. (by the way, has anybody asked Danny Glover what he thinks of Mel Gibson now?) Let us remember how good he was in Ransom, that scene where he thought he’d caused his son’s death and was curled up in the fetal position on the balcony while his wife screamed at him was a great scene. Let us maybe forget, and forgive The Patriot, What Women Want and Signs because those all sucked, especially Signs, but hey, come on, every actor has had a few turkeys. He was a very convincing whacko in Conspiracy Theory (perhaps that should have been a clue). I never saw TPOTC, I’m not Catholic and don’t really care, but Apocalypto was pretty cool.
So, all in all, a pretty good body of work. I’m not going to shed any tears over the guy that his career is over because his raving assholery has been exposed to the world. A few nasty comments about the Jews, eh, he was drunk and, as Sarah Silverman said, “Do you expect somebody to get drunk and say nice things about Jewish people?,” but now he has gone too far.
He is a violent, woman abusing, rude, crude, racist and nasty old man. I hope Oksana Grigorieva takes him to the cleaners.
