True, true.

Which is embarrassing.
Nah. It's a Romcom nothing wrong with that. 
Mel Gibson tape Page 2
OK, here is what I've heard. The woman in question is his ex and she was recording him in connection with an abuse case against him.
I like his movies, but the man is a total turd.
He's definitely a complete weirdo.
I think his agent has dropped him now?
It's poor Danny Glover I feel sorry for.
EDIT: I'm joking, just in case anyone thinks I'm serious.
I love how this whole conversation is tagged as a racist rant.
Gibson is taped ordering his wife to get rid of her "fake tits" because she looks like a "Vegas whore". He tells her to stop wearing tight clothes because they make her look like a "bitch on heat". (Hello, she's the partner of an A-List Hollywood superstar, what do you want her to wear, a Matalan nightie?!!) He tells her she's such a slut that people can see her pussy from behind. He tells her that she has to stay in the house. He throws every mysogynistic, controlling, filthy insult he can at her.
Oh and he also says the word "nigger". Which seems to be all the press have picked up on. 
Basically though it sounds to me like a typical emotion-fuelled rant. They happem all the time, es[ecially on the point of a split-up. She's not rising to his bait (presumably because she's taping the conversation and wants to look whiter-than-white later in court). I bet as soon as the tape was switched off she gave him Hell.

Dd he ever get to retire?
Gibson has allegedly punched his wife, whilst she held their baby. And also whilst she was pregnant.
I think that's worse than dropping the N bomb,.

Do they...? I'd never talk to anyone like that. Never. Not even Matthew Stott... well, maybe Stott.

You don't actually have any emotions though, remember; beyond sarcasm and lust I mean.
Quote: Matthew Stott @ July 12 2010, 10:24 AM BSTsarcasm and lust
Great name for a sitcom. Perhaps about two mismatched cops, Jack Sarcasm and Bobby Lust?
I can't listen to it now but I read he said 'I am going to come and burn the f**king house down... but you will blow me first'
That's a great line.

I don't know, I've been through some angry break ups but I've never spoken to anyone like that. That kind of hate has to come from somewhere. I don't care how drunk he was - the guy's a douche.
Apocalypto was a great film though.
There's probably a great TV movie in his life though; like those ones based on the tragic lives of famous comedians that cluttered up BBC4 for a while.
Saw the Mel Gibson ep of South Park at the weekend. The one where he's depcited as a lunatic and shits all over Cartman at the end. Seems about right.
Thoroughly unpleasant individual.
And he makes shite movies.

No he doesn't. What shite movies has he made?
