Is Mel Gibson Finally Over

[Mike]

This latest rant on the phone (that I can't seem to avoid hearing about) seems like this could finally banish him from Hollywood. If this were drugs or crimes, or him being caught with a "lady of the night", Hollywood would be cheering him on all the way to his triumphant return. But this is different:
a: He claims to be Christian
b: It wasn't drugs or a crime

Are his movie making days over. Sad that the man who created "The Passion" would be such a screwed up whacko.

He's also a Catholic. Not that it has any bearing on him being a screwed up whacko. But then neither do the other two points that you mentioned.

My point was... Hollywood is tolerant of every type of deviant behavior, unless someone reveals that they are either a Christian or a conservative. Then, they are ostracized with no hope for acceptance. :gah

Wait a minute...

Mel Gibson is a conservative?!?!?!?!

Oh man, I am so dusting off my copy of Braveheart!

Uh, wait, before I go about getting the duster out, what exactly did he say on the phone?

abuse of another woman again. i have doubts on his conversion to the fold but we only see what is presented by the media. and he may have changed.

Actually when he was an upstanding christian producer, holywood jumped right in bed with him to produce the passion - and their investment paid off ($611,000,000 worldwide sales) - holywood recognizes there is a large christian conservative demographic, and theua re more than happy to cater to it.

Mel didnt get ostracized until he
first: went on a drunken diatribe against jews
now: he said his wife/girlfriend will "get raped by a pack of wild N*****s" verbaly abused her and threatend to "put (her) in a [sic]ing rose garden"

Thants why he got ostracized, not for being a well behaved christian or conservative.

The "Passion" was fought tooth and nail by the establishment in Hollywood. Jewish people (prevalent in the industry) were outraged by feeling they were being cast to blame for His crucifixion. He had to go through many studios before finding one that agreed to the project. He was made a villain long before odd things started coming out. I think the first incident was his drunken driving arrest. I could be wrong. Mean while Robert Downey Jr. is the latest Hollywood sweetheart after trashing his life with drugs and deviant behavior.

MA,

I'd like to just say, there are WAY more conservatives in the movie business than the two you named. I have met maybe a half dozen of them and it is amazing HOW conservative they are. One of them (I will keep his name private, I have more respect than tabloids) even took lunch with me and we discussed many topics. He actually changed the way I see some things, and I changed his view on abortion (he had been against abortion in all but the "hard" cases, I helped him see it is always evil).

Before you start wondering who I am to be eating lunch with a hollywood star and to be acquainted with five or six others. I used to write for the Daily Caller (I stopped only two months ago when God called me from politics). I also had my own blog that I ran and edited. I do not wish to go into my old life. Anyways, I attended CPAC in Feb. and this is where I met these people. The actor who I had lunch with took me to a Jewish restaurant in DC, I eat kosher.

I imagine if you go to CPAC next Feb. not only will you meet me, but you will meet plenty of famous people, including actors and politicians and diplomats (reminds me, ask me about my run-in with John Bolton sometime) and journalists and "journalists" (again, sometime you need to ask me about my run-in with Rachel Maddow). Though, the best part of the entire trip was when I got a kiss on the cheek from Ann Coulter (did I mention I have had a crush on her for like five or six years?)!!!!!!!!!!

ann coultier??? beautiful woman, based on the comments she has made she very hateful to some.

anyway, gary sinese is the lt.dan guy

angie harmon
chrystal bernard
kate mulgrew
alec baldwin

all of these are consertive and against abortion.

I think Mel Gibson is not a Christian, and I don't care what Hollywood thinks of him because it bears no reflection on the true Christian, whose actions and heart are open for everyone to see. Such a shame on him

Alec Baldwin is NOT conservative in ANY way! I think you're thinking of his brother (Stephen) who was brought to faith in a mighty way. Alec is an outspoken liberal who stated on David Letterman that he would move from the U.S. if George W. Bush was elected. Unfortunately, he wasn't true to his word. So which brother is made more visible; liberal Alec or conservative Stephen? I know Alec has a richer film bio, but still...

I don't claim to be big in to the Hollywood scene, but I don't know the other people you've listed. I've seen Chuck Norris mentioned. Where is his career now? He's doing ab commercials with Christie Brinkley. There's Clint Eastwood, but he was such an established name and so well respected, they had a hard time bringing him down.

Pard, I don't see the conservative impact on Hollywood you're talking about. I don't watch the Oscars like I used to, because they are always a platform for actors to put in their liberal with every acceptance speech. Besides, the whole idea of glorifying actors the way we do is outrageous. Here's me, the hypocrite, who has season tickets to watch millionaire football players play a kids game.

Films with conservative values seem to do very well. Look at "The Blind Side". But they are few and far between.

MA, I agree with your comments.

MA, I agree with your comments.

As do I :yes

 

[Pard]

Ya, you are thinking of Stephen, not Alec. Stephen actually has an organization he created for young conservatives. And of course they have no impact on Hollywood, it's Hollywood!

Lemme see if I can name some more.

Adam Sandler, Ben Stien, Vince Vaughn, Joan Rivers, Jessica Simpson, Stephen Baldwin, the guy from James Bond who played Jaws (well, I think it was him...)

Adam Sandler? Vince Vaughn? Jessica Simpson? Maybe fiscal conservatives, but not social conservatives or both. How did JS get on a Hollywood list?

The guy from James Bond who played Jaws? Now you're reaching! I think you made my point for me! The list is short when you're reaching for '70's James Bond villains. :biglaugh

Jessica simpson started her career as a christian singer and her dad is pastor - now she may not currently promote a very christian image, but its unfair to say shes not christian.

multiple divorces and also the image she portrays in some her movies, makes me wonder. we are to live the life openly not the opposite, she may be saved, but in a back slidden state.



btw marylin manson was raised in "church" and his dad is a pastor too.

 

[jasoncran]

i cant recall it was recently that i heard that.

we call that backslidden not unbelieving meaning that will either live that hellish life till one day that they repent if they were ever saved.

i have backslidden. but if one commits murder and and hates men, one is hard pressed to beleive that person has given their life before that incindent unless they have some sorrow after words.

ie would you think that oj was a christain? possible but highly doubtful, does this meant that he cant be saved? no, salvation is for all that repent and cease from sin.

 

[Mike]

MA - hold on here.

It might be that I have a Muslim telling a Christian who and what a Christian is, but I'm going to take issue here. No, we can't tell where her faith is, but I'm sorry. I can't listen to a person from another faith say how we should deal with "our own family". I wouldn't take the same advice from Hindus or any other faith.

Regardless of who Simpon's father was, she does not show any kind of window into anything that would be mistaken for Christian. It's a judgment call. Not the final Judgment, but a personal opinion. I think you step over the line when you tell us Christians how we should deem our own.

She might well be a faithful Christian, but you'd never know it by what she shows the world.

 

[jasoncran]

thanks mike and i will add by their fruits shall ye know my people. hmm fruits not words, interesting.

There is so much hypocrisy in Hellywood until this is sickening, considering all the garbage there I have to wonder why Mel is the poster child of outrage for his sins. And why doesn't that woman who is recording his rant sound the least bit frightened? What a crock.
