Mel Gibson? An insane rant? No, couldn’t be. I’m sure it must have not been bigoted in any way.
Uhhhhh... well this is embarrassing. He didn't do an ''insane'' rant. He did a BONKERS rant. Uncle Baby Billy can clear up the difference if you need more info.
(plays William Wallace)
(endorses authoritarian candidate)
At the very least the man is skilled at pretending to be someone he’s not. That’s about all he’s got going for him.
The funny bit is that everyone already knew he was a far right extremist politically and religiously, it's just HOW he expresses himself that's blowing up in his face.
Braveheart strokes the same freedom boner that The Patriot does.
I don't care, man, braveheart was fucking dope. plus that's very reductive, it's a very personal story as well in many ways. there's friendship and love and ~~:.|:;~~ and betrayal and revenge. it really hits hard on an emotional level in so many scenes. two or three that made me cry, a number of fuck you moments and a bunch of fuck yeah moments. it has so many perfect setup and payoff arcs that more recent insanely popular media severely lacks, like breaking bad or Harry Potter.
Gibson is an absolute piece of shit but it's a shame that he's actually talented, unlike a crushing majority of these hogs.
BLASTED
The worst Mel. Mel Brooks infinitely superior.
Mel Blanc too.
Torme is the Velvet Fog even!
Old racist votes for old racist.
More at 9.
This guy is a racist piece of shit. Always has been.
racist-ass Melly Gibsins
You mean the same guy who said he hopes his (then) partner gets “raped by a pack of n****rs” isn’t voting for Kamala? I’m shocked I tell you.
He’s been unhinged for years, we should have cancelled him decades ago and let Mel succumb to his own alcoholism.

Sorry for all I could find was horrible quality
lethal weapon needs a lethal whippin
going by passion of the Christ that's probably his kink
aint they always like that
Mel should do the right maga thing. As a immigrant he should self deport himself.
He was born in New York
That's right, his father moved their family to Australia to keep his sons out of the Vietnam draft. How quaint.
Facts don't matter to that crowd anyway
We don't want him back now. You've ruined him.
It was not us, baby, he was born this way.
Don't blame us for your road warrior.
Yes Mel Gibson is still bonkers.
We don't have the celebrity thing you have in the US here, so I only see bits and pieces of this, but his (and several others, really) spiralling into insanity has been quite bizarre to witness. First into extreme bizarro religion and then (predictably) into far right politics.
As is often the case, the rejection just entrenches his beliefs.
I wish I knew how people started falling into that kind of mental trap. I'm not sure he was always like that (or maybe he was, I don't know the guy).
Well, in Gibson's case, he's been a loon for a long time now. This isn't a recent development.
Until producers stop giving him money and actors refuse to work with him he'll continue spreading hate, the guy has been an obvious bigot and moron his entire life
“I separate people and their art” people are the fuckin’ worst and huge part of the problem, too, since they don’t do a damn thing to incentivise those losers to stop what they’re doing, either.
When I learned that “Sweet Home Alabama” was in bitter response to Neil Young’s “Southern Man” I just stopped listening to it. There is so much music in the world, I’ve been fine without Lynyrd Skynyrd. I also don’t think I’ve ever seen a Mel Gibson movie and I seem to be ok.
So many out of work actors raging their boy is getting destroyed by a woman.
So many immigrants complaining about immigration too.
You mean Elon? Yeah, he's always been a noisy little bitch about things...
Well now I definitely don't feel bad about torrenting Braveheart
time to take another long hiatus from work, mel.
The Passion of the Anti-Christ
I tried finding a gif of Mel in a straight jacket from Lethal Weapon, but I'll settle for this one:
