A Meeting at Mel's

What's Your Reaction:

Mel Gibson's publicist arrives at the estate.

Mel? Mel? Where are you? Ah, the chapel. Wow. Interesting. Not a lot of chapels have a bar. Sooo. Tough couple weeks. I am stressed. Stressed, Mel, stressed. I did not say Jewish, I said stressed. The two words sound nothing alike. Okay, so here goes. Mel, I'm not going to be your publicist anymore. This wasn't an easy decision, we've been through a lot together, but frankly you don't need me, you need therapy. Help. Counseling.

Yes, I know you think Vatican II was a terrible council, and if you'll just lower the gun we can talk about it. The gun. Thanks.

Look, let's just stay professional. So. There are no offers. None. Not even Fox News. Yeah, surprised me, too. Loootta messages, but they mostly say the same thing.

Well, you know how people are. Yes, some of them are as you say, cocksuckingmotherfuckers. Anyhooo... Oh, your dad called. He sounded great. Really upbeat. Half the time I have no idea what that guy's talking about but he's sure proud of you, so... there's that.

Aaaand, let's see. Jodie Foster called. She was really sad. Sad, Mel. Not Jewish. Again, I don't know how you... The words have only one letter in common for godsake. S. The letter S. Yeah okay, S for Satan, sure, S for freakin' Satan! Why not!!

Well I am angry, Mel! You've changed! You used to be fun! And funny! Remember when you did What Women Want? You danced! You had a twinkle in your eye! You acted like a human being! It was awesome!

Yeah, okay, awesome like the one true religion, which got all screwed up by the second Vatican blah de blah, whatEVER!

Look, I'm gonna just get out of your way and let you make some more phone calls. No, I don't want a sip. Thank you though...

... Wait. Okay, I'm just going to say this, and if you shoot me, whatever, you shoot me. Mel, you're an alcoholic, a rageaholic, a bigot, and a bully, and I really can't stand being around you. My advice to you is to go alone into the wilderness and stay there until you find whatever shred of human goodness you have left, and then truly repent.

No, you haven't. You have not. You've never faced up to your wretched, selfish, drunk, violent self. That's why you have me, to clean up after you. But I'm not going to do it anymore, and whoever you get to replace me will, trust me, be in it strictly for the money. And even you don't have enough.

Okay, so, I'm gonna go. You take care. I said "take care," not "Hebrews Rule." How can you possibly?!...

Okay, whatever, peace out.

Wait, what? A sequel? Passion II, The Wrath of Jesus?

Well, no, I don't think it screams box office, but then again, I said you were crazy to do the first one, so... You know what? It's actually.. fun, edgy, insane.. I love it!

Who? Do you think you can get him? Whaaat?? You already talked about it and he's very excited? Wow. But Mel, isn't he Jewish?

What's that? So was Jesus? Hahaha!! That's very funny! So was Jesus!! You are so funny!! I most certainly will make that call! I sure will! Well it's a pleasure to be back in business with you, sir! You have a nice day.

'So was Jesus!' I love this guy!!

Thank you for lighting up this nonsense. I heard words from my husband's mouth that I never knew existed and considered it an education in itself. I loved him anyway and I still love Mel Gibson.

Very funny! Now, Mel, go ask Dr. Drew if has room in his next program! Oh, yeah, he is a fake too!

Were any of you similarly outraged over Alec Baldwin's rant against his young daughter? I'm not defending Mel Gibson, just pointing out an opportunity for balanced irrationality.

People say things when they are irate or under the influence that they don't mean, especially if someone is antagonizing them.

In no way can Alec Baldwin be compared to Mel Gibson. AB had a one time episode and he didn't call his daughter a cu nt, a bitch and that she was likely to get raped by a gang of neg roes. Alec Baldwin will never be in a position where people are saying "he will never work again", "he needs treatment", "he is an idiot".........

Now how is that for fair and balanced?

If given a chance to speak those angry words at her, she would crawl into a cave somewhere in Alaska and stay there. No match. She hides in controversy.

People are making excuses for him such as he's
bi-polar, had a bad childhood but the truth of it is
he's a raging alcoholic and it rears it's ugly head
as you age. He needs rehab and he needs to stop
drinking.
03:02 PM on 07/22/2010
Alcohol is the least of his worries. One drunken phone call does not an alcoholic make.
04:16 PM on 07/22/2010
I agree, he's an alcoholic and needs help but his rants about Jews I believe he believes, since his dad is an anti-Semite.

You are one funny guy. I'll bet you have perfect pitch too, don't you?
02:59 PM on 07/22/2010
This guy would have a lot more comments if mine didn't get cut...but don't you think that this guy's humor is a lot like Don Rickles?...maybe I'm being to generous...How about Don Rickles after head trauma? Don Rickles after five Vodka Mr. Pib slurpees from the Seven Eleven? Don Rickles while waiting for the drugs from his colostomy to wear off. I could go on, but what's the point, this will never get posted anyway.

I realize I'm talking to an aficionado, but...reeelly? You think Rickles has this guy's rhythm in the language itself? Rickles always need the actual, literal drum roll to bring it home.

The strange thing is that I think I can actually picture that sort of conversation going on in LA. Nothing talks like movie success and money there!

Terrific! Best laugh I've had all day.
