Mel Gibson filled with holy "spirits" arrested..

[Taymelo]

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Actor and director Mel Gibson was arrested Friday in Malibu, California, on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office.

Gibson, 50, was pulled over early Friday while driving on the Pacific Coast Highway, said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore. Officers on patrol reported Gibson was driving at an "excessively fast speed," he said.

Gibson was taken into custody and posted $5,000 bond for his release, Whitmore said.

Gibson was not immediately available for comment.

Gibson, who acted in the "Lethal Weapon" and "Mad Max" movie series, won an Oscar for directing 1995's Oscar-winning best picture "Braveheart."

He reportedly financed the controversial movie "The Passion of the Christ" (2004), which he also directed, with $25 million of his own money. The film made $370 million at the domestic box office and ranks No. 10 on the all-time box office list. "Passion of the Christ" was nominated for three Academy Awards.

Gibson's latest movie, "Apocalypto," set in the Mayan civilization of several centuries ago, is due in December.

My Mel Gibson Hate:

His father is a disgusting and delusional piece of shit who hides behind a fake religion and goes around trying to convince people that the Holocaust never happened, that jews with tattoos numbered on their arms from the prison camps did it themselves to fake out the rest of the world, etc. etc. etc.


Some crazy, wild, terrible stuff. Its what he believes, how he lives, how he's raised his family, and what he preaches to his flock.

Mel Gibson was given many different opportunities to simply distance himself from his dad's comments - as opposed to taking sides against his father as a person.

All he had to do was say "I don't agree with my father on this particular issue, but overall he's a good guy" or something.

He refused to do so, and this was right around the time that Passion came out.

Tell me how that looks? The world comes to find out their favorite actor was raised to believe jews are slime and made up the Holocaust, and then at the same time this guy refuses to disavow it, and also at the same time this guy produces a film showing Christ suffer and bleed horribly for hours as a result of the actions of the jews.

Add it all up.

Stick a fork in him. He's finished in Hollywood - or at least knocked down many a peg on the Hollywood ladder. I don't think its a coincidence that the last two films he's done have been in foreign languages.

He's lucky he made a hundred bazillion gazillion pamillion dollars on Passion, b/c he won't get any more $20 million per film paydays in Hollywood, IMO.

That would be taking sides against his father, though. No matter how he answers the "how do you feel about what your dad said" question, he loses:

- He defends his dad, comes across like an idiot
- He attacks his dad, comes across like an asshole
- He says nothing, comes across like a cold bitch

FWIW, I have a crazy dad. I definitely have some empathy for the situation.

Dick Donner's directing him in his 7th buddy movie, Sam And George. Their first six buddy movies each took in >$100 million and made money. Somehow, I think there's another big payday in Mel's future.

Mel has too many friends who respect him in important places(richard donner being a big friend and supporter). he won't ever have trouble finding work. and some seem to forget he's doing these foreign films on his own artistic film making reprieve. he definately isnt being forced to.

[Hermy]

And he drives drunk, endangering people's lives.

[Black Dynamite]

Yes he's evil.

Is there anybody you DON'T like taymelo that isnt on the decline in your mind?
Funny thing is that your hate probally only derives from the Passion of the christ line that i still dont think is anti sematic in the least bit. And his fathers antics. after that gets in your head everything seems hate worthy from then on.

Why is it that every thread becomes about bullshit, I am so fucking sick and tired of the in your face bullshit about everything. It was meant to be an Off topic thread about DWI, not about how Jesus was killed or How Mel Gibson hates Jews. If I wanted to make it a political discussion I would have put it there. I am so sick of it, the whole fucking world is evil and everyone hates somebody.

Js no one was serious. relax man. Well maybe Taymelo was. but he's a lawyer(yes that will explain everything somehow).

I just remember a mel gibson thread where he got bashed alot. maybe it wasnt as many haters as i thought. either way i'm going to get a cup of whiskey and ride through livonia until someone locks me up.

Tay should lose his syndicate powers....

Driving Drunk is obviously wrong.

Everybody here is a Bunch of Punks®.

So what if Gibson pulled a DUI? Half of Hollywood is drunk three quarters of the time, and one quarter of that time they're either behind the wheel or somewhere in public doing something stupid. He's a family man who's made his mark in film, as both an actor AND as a director/producer.

He's had a clean record up to this point (at least "paper" clean), and nobody said SHIT about his dad until "Passion" came out. Obviously, his father's been around quite a while, and Gibson's been around quite a while, and more than likely his dad was a "well-known secret" within Hollywood circles. Many in Hollywood have their "dark family secrets", as do many of us.

I'm certain many on this board have parents they're either ashamed of or detatched from. Ask them if they see them as role models, if they'd like to be "just like them". I'm certain the answer will be a resounding "no". And why did Gibson say nothing about his dad? Well, that's between him and his handlers. Being a high mucky muck in Hollywood is likened to a Senator or Governor -- you don't run your life insofar as your "cabinet" runs your life.

With talk like that, Taymelo, you're never going to get past New Hampshire.
