Mel Gibson's standing ovation ( APOCALYPTO, His latest movie )

LIFE STYLE EXTRA ^ | 09/25/2006

Austin = Liberal Heaven. It's the only place in Texas where he could get a standing ovation.

"Is it written somewhere that prior agreement with somebody on a particular issue is an obligation for future agreement on everything?"

There's no law against having a herd mentality, but it sure isn't something to be proud of.

"I never understood the ga-ga attitude toward Mel Gibson..."

[Cicero]

It's discouraging that he's still coming out with this nonsense.

Still, I've seen most of his movies, and have liked what I've seen.

So, let's hope he hasn't gone around the bend in the actual movie.

[what's up]

Yup...I understand the sex appeal.

But not the ga-gas on FR who hailed him as some reincarnation of Barry Goldwater or something.

Mel is no dyed-in-the-wood conservative. He has faith...and is pro-life and I'm grateful. But he has never been a fiscal or pro-Iraq War conservative.

[Prokopton]

Everybody here used to like him....funny how people change so easily.

I still like him, and most of his movies.

I think (and pray) he's wrong about Iraq, however.

[Blind Eye Jones]

Apocalypse Now? Oh, no, it's Apoxylips Mel at the end of the world, for no other reason than the drink has been cut off.

[gilor]

This is why I don't care what actors have to say any more than somebody who runs a minimart has to say.

[ruthles]

If we lose to terrorism, Israel and America lose, and since Mel hates Jews, it's comes as no surprise that he'd be willing to sacrifice a few Jews in Israel.

[jd777]

That's what they said about the PASSION....

[Cecily]

You got it. The movie is likely a dud, and Mel is just drumming up controversy and publicity in a bid to sell some tickets.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Wore out his welcome real quick, didn't he.

[stuartcr]

Not at all, I just find it amusing to watch peoples reactions.

[veronica]

I see - - Mel is pandering to the scumbag left in order to atone for his drunken rant.

The Jewhating paleo-con right and the scumbag Bush-hating left are indistinguishable.

[veronica]

Yep. :)

[jwalsh07]

Fair enough, now how about amusing me? Who do you agree with 100% of the time?:-}

[World_Events]

You know he had to put in the iraq dig just to suck up to the powers to be in hollyweird. Still, that shows a man with no principles.

[Bella_Bru]

Have some fun...

HeeHee.

[garjog]

"publicity in a bid to sell some ticket"

I wonder how many of you guys are like me and will not see his film now that he is spewing anti-Americanism in time of war. I don't care how good the film is. It isn't worth my $12.

[stuartcr]

My dog.
