Apparently, Mel Gibson wasn't venturing too far from the norm when he played Riggs in the Lethal Weapon movies, was he? Here is my view on the subject. Dude is flat-out crazy and clearly has issues. But, I keep hearing from people, "Oh, his career is RUINED. It's OVER" No it's not. Hollywood has to be the most forgiving place you can find - just ask Roman Polanski. People hate him now, but if he comes out and says, "I want to do another Mad Max or Lethal Weapon movie," not only will some studio approve and finance it, the viewers will go see it. Boycotts simply do not work. So, take your punches and jabs at him while you can. Hell, I am. But take my word, for better or for worse, dude will be back. I just hope if he goes to jail, his first word when he comes out is, "FREEEEEEEDOM!!!!

Funny, I was just watching Extra on tv right now while they were doing a report on Mel. He definitely is in need of some serious help. But he could come back - funny that he was instrumental in helping Robert Downey Jr. and look at him. I agree - Hollywood is very forgiving.
Glad you posted - I was just about to write on your other post how much I missed you. that is how I found your new post!!
Yeah. Remember when he used to pretend to be so holy and Catholic? I liked that Mel Gibson better...Even if he wasn't real. This crazy Mel Gibson is so disgusting and gross. I feel sorry for his kids.
This was an awesome post - truthful but entertaining and amusing at the same time. More, more, more!!!
I had such a crush on him (as I'm sure many women did) when he was in the "Lethal Weapon" movies.
You're right, someone will hire him for a movie.
Since he has his own production company, he will for sure keep working. I can't think of the last time he made anything I wanted to see...but that isn't because he is batshit crazy...he's just making uninteresting (to me) movies. But, yeah, he is completely mad.
Such a powerhoue of course everyone and their nanas will take a swing at him. But I agree with you, homey is talented and will rebound. Now if poeple could only forgive Tom Cruise for doing the worst ever, jumping on a couch cause he was happy. Wow!
How did I miss this post!
He may be crazy but you are right, he is a box office draw so if he decides to come back he will.
Please post again. I love your insight and humor. Hugs, Nani
