Film School Rejects: Mel Gibson Gets Company on the ‘Edge of Darkness’

    What Woman Want was awesome. This sounds like an interesting upcoming movie compared to what else he's done lately. I had a glimpse of Apocalypto. It seemed pretty good.

    Everyone says dumb crap when there drunk, so what the Jews hate him now. The guys a great actor and should've been back 2 years ago.

    Josh, first of all, please get your facts correct. Mel does not hate anybody. He just hated being persecuted for making a movie (The Passion of the Christ) that Zion Extremists thought could cause violence, which it never did and no apology has ever been given. Zion Extremists consider that if you believe in the gospels, which all Christians do, then you are anti-Semitic. But make no mistake, Zion Extremists can slander, trash, denigrade and humiliate any culture, race and religion without the slightest retaliation. And they've been doing it for years.

    Secondly, Gibson is one of the most diverse, talented and charismatic actors of our generation - his interpretation of Hamlet was not just dynamic it was brilliant.

    Thirdly, do you know what irkes many of the power brokers in Hollywood and Gibson's total independence from studio control and enormous success? ENVY!!

    Sincere--

    My comment was made in jest, but unfortunately its a label that's been bestowed somewhat unfairly upon Gibson. I agree with you that its the extremists that made this issue an issue, but c'mon look at the context here. In the article itself I talk about Gibson in a positive light--saying I could watch him do anything for 2 hours. I agree his Hamlet was inspired, but it paled in comparison to Branagh and Olivier. Passion and Apocalypto are great success stories, and you're right, it probably drives the execs nuts that he did it on his own. But where in this article do you see that I'm coming down on the man. I genuinely like his work.

    Ummmmm, Who the hell cares, he's a human being that happens to make movies for a living. I get such a kick out of these people that are soooo star struck! LOL Get a life !, He happens to be filming part of the moving edge of darkness one town over from where i live, I saw him filming, not by choice, I happen to have to go to the court house that day and there he was..whoopeeeeeee. he eats sleeps and changes his clothes just like you and I.

    I can't believe that people say that he hates jews, that's just crap! He has repeatedly apologizes for that and besides what about Hollywood? Hollywood afterall hates Christians! They metophorically crucified Gibson for Passion of the Christ which I think is his best film
