Mad Mel

[Marigold2]

Watching the news on Mr. Gibson.
Would you go see one of his movies now?
I think some therapy and anger management are in order and then a $10.000.000 check to a women's shelther would be nice as a way to say " I am sorry".

[sparks19]

if it was a movie I was interested in seeing... yes

sure he should pay for his issues and he needs help... but that wouldn't stop me from seeing a movie I want to see

[blue]

Havent seen anything he's been in since Lethal Weapon 4. I dont think Ive been missing anything. IF he does another Mad Max film I ll probably watch it but anything else probably not.

[Grace]

Would you go see one of his movies now?

I've never seen any of his movies in the past, so I'm not sure that I would see any in the future - if he makes many more. My husband has seen several of his - especially likes The Patriot and Braveheart.

[pomtzu]

Just from watching his recent tirades on t.v., he appears to be a certifiable lunatic. I can't say that I've ever really paid attention to any of his movies, since I'm not much of a movie person, but I know for sure, that I won't be watching any in the future.
I think a lot of people have a much different picture of this mad man, than they ever had before, and won't support him any further.

I'm one of those people who have a different outlook on him now but I honestly was surprised at his behaviour lately. I never paid much attention to him before and I'm not one for watching movies much but if a movie did come out that looked like something real interesting I probably would watch it because I crave a good movie like we used to be able to watch. I'm actually appalled at his behaviour though .
We seem to be getting a lot of surprises lately from people we thought we knew.

[Catherinedana]

He lost me after Mad Max. Second one was great because Tina Turner was in it!! I feel he is a hammy actor and am not crazy about him. Same thing with Nicholas Cage.

Sorry if I offend a fan or two - just expressing my humble opinon.

I like weird movies anyway!

[lvpets2002]

:) I so aggree.. I will never watch him again.. I used to like him too.. I also used to like Tom Cruise until he went off on the deep end & now I wont watch him anymore.. What really just gets to me is Mel G. was the producer & directer of the Rising Christ movie & that was a must I go see.. By seeing his actions now makes me call him a hypocrit..

Maybe Mel is having a middle age crisis?:eek: I liked it when Mel & Danny Glover played detectives.:cool:

That's what I especially love about Mel: what a good Catholic he is!

[lvpets2002]

Yes & may lightening strick him & drop him to his knees.. The man needs help now.. And if I was the mother of his new baby = I damn sure would Not let him see or have that baby alone with him..


That's what I especially love about Mel: what a good Catholic he is!

[Marigold2]

After listening to the rants I would say he is ready for a stroke or a nervous breakdown.

[wombat2u2004]

He probably went nuts from living in Australia so long.
That's what happened to me :cool:

[lvpets2002]

:p Now are you sure thats what happened to you Wom?? Well at least your admitting your Nuttss..:D


He probably went nuts from living in Australia so long.
That's what happened to me :cool:

[moosmom]

I haven't gone to ANY of his movies since his last outburst about African Americans, Jews, etc. I'm not lining the pockets of a biggot.

[wombat2u2004]

:p Now are you sure thats what happened to you Wom?? Well at least your admitting your Nuttss..:D

Absolutely ;)

[Queen of Poop]

Used to like Mr. Mel. Not anymore. Can't stand him. His behavior hits way too close to home.

[Pawsitive Thinking]

He probably went nuts from living in Australia so long.
That's what happened to me :cool:

You'd be nuts no matter where you lived ;)

[lizbud]

Absolutely ;)


Not to worry Wom. At least you're not one who has to "carry around"
a sign to remind folks that you are NOT nuts. :D:D ;)

eg.

"Unlike most of you, I am not a nut."

- Homer Simpson

[Lady's Human]

Very mature, Liz.

Are you going to pull out the ugly jokes next? Or maybe (shudder) the "yo mamma" lines?

[Bonny]

Why are such a Bully? Before it was Marigold you picked on now it is Lizbud? What is it with you? :confused:

[Lady's Human]

This must be a new definition of bully:

Bully-One who calls out other posters for being condescending and needlessly insulting........


Nope, not in Merriam Websters yet.........

[Bonny]

Are you people related Blu & Pucky? Ladys Human, & Karen? I think Lizbud has been slam dunked by the 3 of you & is badly hurt by it. I don't even know Lizbud haven't had any contact with her/him. There are people on here that have contributed in a way that helps keep this board running are you going to bite the hands that feed this board? I have been drilled by Pucky in the past, I know what it feels like!

[Lady's Human]

Contrary to popular belief, it is entirely possible to discuss current events and political issues without resorting to insults.

Being that there is apparently no interest in civility on this board, I would recommend that the dog house be closed and deleted, and the discussion of politics and current events be banned.

Too bad, I like Thursdays, and enjoy political discussion when it can be done maturely.

[Bonny]

As long as no one challenges or disputes your way of thinking?

[pomtzu]

If you can't take the heat, then stay out of the kitchen!!!

Just a generalized statement, and not directed at anyone in particular.....:p No response needed, but if the shoe fits, then indeed you should wear it. :D

[Lady's Human]

No, challenging one's way of thinking does not equal insults and personal slams.


Contrary to popular belief, two people disagreeing does not mean one is stupid and the other is intelligent. It means they have a difference of opinion.

[Lady's Human]

If you can't take the heat, then stay out of the kitchen!!!

Just a generalized statement, and not directed at anyone in particular.....:p No response needed, but if the shoe fits, then indeed you should wear it. :D

But when the heat is pointless or due to an issue which is easily remedied, DO something about it.

[Cataholic]

I thought Liz was teasing Wom.....

[pomtzu]

But when the heat is pointless or due to an issue which is easily remedied, DO something about it.

Yes - it may be pointless - but everyone that posts a comment believes that they are in the right. So it's just a vicious circle - it goes round and round and there is no end. :(

[Lady's Human]

Again, believing you're right does not mean the other person is stupid.

[pomtzu]

Again, believing you're right does not mean the other person is stupid.

No - but it's their opinion and they believe it to be correct. Like I said - vicious circle. Perhaps everyone that posts should end each post with "IMO"

[Lady's Human]

No, perhaps everyone who posts should stick to the issue at hand and not bring personal comments into the discussion.

[lizbud]

Is is that obvious? Must be, or others would not have picked up on it.
Or maybe they did but just didn't post about it. Thanks Bonnie.:) I'm not
hurt at all. This a'in't my first rodeo.:D

LH feels the need to pop off every once in a while. Forget it, I do.:)

and yes Cataholic, it was a joke. Did I not put enough smilies in to show that?:D:D:D:D

[pomtzu]

No, perhaps everyone who posts should stick to the issue at hand and not bring personal comments into the discussion.

That will never happen~~~~~~~~~~~~IMO :p

[Bonny]

How can you not get personal if you are honest about what you believe in & it comes deep from within your heart?

[lizbud]

No - but it's their opinion and they believe it to be correct. Like I said - vicious circle. Perhaps everyone that posts should end each post with "IMO"



You know, I too feel like, lately maybe we should post IMO after everything.


Oh Gawd......, now LH will be going on & on all day about this.

p.s. IMHO

[Medusa]

How can you not get personal if you are honest about what you believe in & it comes deep from within your heart?

Because the title of the thread is Mad Mel. The discussion was about Mel Gibson and then a jab at another PTer was made and everyone was off and running. Why get personal when the discussion was about a celebrity that so many have claimed that they don't give a fig about anyhow?

[RICHARD]

I
This a'in't my first rodeo.:D



Me either,

But, I hate the way my arse feels the next morning.


I've cut back.

Medusa, There are bullies on here & they nit pick, pick.

Which has nothing to do whatsoever w/Mad Mel. Another topic, another thread perhaps but not here.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Who is bullying in this thread??:confused:

Someone said "rodeo" and there ain't no rodeo with out some bulls!:D:confused::o

Mad Mel............:D:D:D:D:D



imo

[carole]

Briefly i will say i too thought Lizbud was teasing wombat, and knowing wom i am sure he took it that way, i don't see how one could take it any other way, but obviously i was wrong there.

Now back to the thread Mad Mel,never been a fan, never will be, can take or leave him now,he is still an abusive man who needs to deal with his anger, celeb or not, no different to any other abuser IMO.

I've been following the posts since the beginning of the Mad Mel original post and I have to agree with Medussa on this. How in the world did Mad Mel, someone we obviously all find distasteful get everyone turned against each other like this? Isn't this a bit like adulation for this guy? Just think how proud he would feel to know he holds this kind of power over all of us here....maybe it's time to show the idiot the exit....IMO

I would much rather know how Myndi is doing Ellie.....:D

No Carole, you were not wrong at all, you got it right the first time. It was
teasing, good natured teasing at that. Pucky is no shrinking violet who is
easily crushed by that kind of thing. Anyhoo, I meant to cheer up Wom
because we "real crazies" gotta stick together. My old therapist once told
me that I should write a book about my life experiences.:eek: :D :D

Rishard, I think the trick is to never sit down on the bull .....completely.
Keep your rear, ah, nevermind.:)

Cracking me up as always!! :D :D :D So true.

Mad Mel is the bully, Ellie. By a long shot.

Thankyou Deniece......I'll make sure and say "Hello" to Denephew. :p

She was, and there's no harm in that....in fact I welcome it. It gives a lighter side to this forum that is much needed. ;)

Try a pillow next time old mate ;);)

[Puckstop31]

I am not sure what to say here. LOL I have not been following this thread, yet I am a character in it.

Should I be flattered?

And Liz... Was...that...a compliment? The "shrinking violet" thing? :)

And come on... We can discuss and banter. I'm making a pledge right now to cease with any kind of personal comment. I'd like to think it's been that way for a week or more now.

Call it an epiphany.

If you don't get my Homer Simpson quote and how it is suppsoed to tie into my avatar.... You do not understand the amazing thing that is The Simpsons. Matt Groening is a freaking genius. If all you see is a fat, dumb oaf and the brainless things he does... You don't get it. And that is fine. Just do not assume to much about my quote and avatar. :)

Enough off topic. I feel a new thread coming on. LOL


---

OT comment. Mel must have viewed the best Simpsons Halloween episode and taken it to heart..

Homer - "No TV and no beer, make, Homer....Something, something."

Marge - "Go Crazy?"

Homer - "DON'T MIND IF I DO!!!!!!! Waaahhhh ho hoh ohohohhhoo phbbt hoogada....."

:D

[Marigold2]

Wom you are such a delight.

[wombat2u2004]

Now that their's two of us.....we just have to convince the rest of em. ;)

The 50 million cane beetles have been eradicated, but now we have 50 billion cane toads in their place.....I think Q Victoria spent too much time in bed with P Albert....befuddled her mind you know....kind of like the Mad George syndrome.
That's the reason I ride the Harley.....I skittle the toads. Got 3 last week....got a ways to go yet. ;)

You'd get along great w/my son. He loves the Simpsons and I get him the latest season every year as a stocking stuffer. Maybe Mel should chill out and watch a few episodes.

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Thankyou Deniece......I'll make sure and say "Hello" to Denephew. :p

:D nice one!

P.S. my take on Mr Gibson - maybe he wasn't acting quite so much when he played Riggs.....

[Marigold2]

Love the Simps and Family Guy.
