On MAD MAX 4:
‘I’m very very
keen to do it’!!

I am there.
Hmm... by phaedrus007	Oct 31st, 2006 10:14:09 PM
Max gets mad and starts cursing out the Jews. Sounds like a winner.
Didn't Gibson just say he WOULDN'T do this? by Messiahman	Oct 31st, 2006 10:14:14 PM
Dark Horizons is reporting that Mad Mel has put the kibosh on both future installments of both MAD MAX and LETHAL WEAPON. http://www.darkhorizons.com/ne ws06/061031k.php

This isn't news. by MattCG	Oct 31st, 2006 10:27:59 PM
It's wild speculation passed off for news and the kind of crap I applaud the good folks at CHUD.com for taking a stand against in their ban on bullshit "Indy 4" news.
Mad Max 4: The Road to the Passion of the Max by NewClassic	Oct 31st, 2006 10:28:03 PM
I'll only be cool with it if he uses the words "sugar tits" in the film.
Well according to an interview with Comingsoon... by LeiaDown&FuckHer	Oct 31st, 2006 10:37:05 PM
Gibson said very emphatically that his Lethal Weapon days are long behind him (and basically scoffed at the idea of doing any more), but he didn't conclusively rule out another Mad Max, stating "They were talking about making one. I think you just watched it (referring to Apocalypto) but, you know, I don't know. I'm gettin' a little long in the tooth for that one". So yeah, while he sounds clearly hesitant he didn't say no or definitively rule anything out the way hid did with Lethal Weapon, so who knows. I have a hunch that if the script was good enough, the studio cash money was plentiful and his old buddy George was in the drivers seat Mel would probably come back for one final go around. If this project ever gets off the ground we'll just have to wait and see I guess.
mattcg by BadMrWonka	Oct 31st, 2006 10:40:15 PM
you are ridiculous. this is from an interview WITH THE DIRECTOR. how is this "wild speculation"? make sure you read the article before you disparage AICN for no other reason than to try to look cool...

The Return of Mel as Max by DarthFloyd	Oct 31st, 2006 10:44:35 PM
The only info I've read on Mad Max IV is that the only way Mel would consider it was if they killed him off, or he just made some cameo appearance. He had no interest in starring in another one. Maybe he'd consider Leathal Weapon V also? Hell, if they offered me 25-30 million plus a percentage of the box-office, I don't care who you are, they could just give you a license to print your own currency!

Just give me my ROAD WARRIOR Special Edition DVD by godoffireinhell	Oct 31st, 2006 11:03:03 PM
and be done with it. kthxbye.
DO IT!!!! This is good news and I have faith in Miller by uberman	Oct 31st, 2006 11:06:59 PM
and Gibson. These guys would not pony up the usual Hollywood suits shitacular. This would be a real film, with a real story, with real depth and weight. I for one am 100% behind this. I want to see the promise of the story-the road warrior in middle age in the wasted city. That was the story promised at the end of 'Beyond Thunderdome.' Lets see that story and done by Miller and Gibson.
Remember when Gibson scoffed at a 4th Lethal Weapon? by Osmosis Jones	Oct 31st, 2006 11:18:02 PM
Throw enough money at an aging action star, and he'll sequelize anything.
Ugh. by bobbyjoe	Oct 31st, 2006 11:24:34 PM
Everything Gibson's made for about the past ten years has in one way or another been some self-aggrandizing bullshit fest of personal pompous martyr-dom. That Gibson himself was too old to play Christ and get that crucifixion scene himself must still wake him up sobbing every night. I liked the Mad Max movies when they came out, but I can only imagine what the current incarnation of Mel Gibson might do with them, even with George Miller at the helm. I'm sure in the newest Mel version Max will be graphically and prolonged-ly tortured to death at the end, and his amazing sacrifice will save the world and gloriously enrich every man, woman, child, small puppies, etc. and he'll be annointed a saint and be the father of kings. If there was any chance at all that a Mad Max sequel with Gibson might be, you know, actually fun and entertaining, rather than an overblown egotistic drag, I'd say give it a go. Unfortunately, I think Gibson left those days behind him long ago.
so actually, considering what Australia is like... by iamnicksaicnsn	Oct 31st, 2006 11:34:53 PM
I'm not really that surprised by Mel's rants. They're pretty racist down there. Still a fucking beautiful country though, full of great and nice people, but they kinda just seem to have some... intolerance.

Ha ha ha! That proves 'Mad Max 4' is a bad idea, or something!
Mad Max 4 vs Payback by Nintendo Dude	Oct 31st, 2006 11:50:46 PM
I am 10x more excited to see the new director's cut of Payback. After the crapfest that was 'Beyond Thunderdome,' some 20-odd years, and his Malibu adventures, new Mad Max does not have much appeal to me.
Srh1son by TheRealMoriarty	Nov 1st, 2006 12:18:50 AM
You might want to rewatch the episode that offended you. Steve Irwin was not in Hell.
RE: LeiaDown&FuckHer by Cineman	Nov 1st, 2006 12:48:14 AM
I read the same interview you are referring to and when I read it, I assumed when he said, "I think you just watched it" he wasn't talking about Apocalypto. I thought he was talking about the whole DUI incident being like Mad Max 4, or Mad Mel 4, if you will. That was just my first thought when I read it. It seemed to fit Mel's self-depricating ways, which are one of the reasons I admire the dude. I don't know what the hell he meant though.

bill maher -- sorry for the quick post by kuguy3000	Nov 1st, 2006 12:56:18 AM
Sup fellows? I'm usually pretty reserved, but had to say something... and this is the only talkback where it was mentioned. Not that it should be said, but it must be resaid... I'm ALL for freedom of speech, freedom of expression...the whole nine yards. However, freedom to express doesn't mean freedom from consequences. And Mr. Maher, I'm pointing my finger at YOU. Yes, you... You piece of shit scumbag. You smirky, dirty pile of filth. How dare you do that to Irwin's memory? God sake, the guy just died months ago, and you gotta go and do this? It was bad when South Park did it, but now you? A member of the cough actual media folk? Damn... The guy did great things for people, and he's got a wife and kids that shouldn't have to put up with this bullshit. There's absolutely NOTHING cool or even remotely smart about donning a bloody Steve Irwin costume. Why did you do it? When's the public apology about how 'sorry' you are, just before they yank your show (again). Blame it on the conservative again, go on. It's always the conservatives...cuz Bush made you dress up in that shit-faced costume mocking a role model to kids and kid-like peeps around the world. Fuckin SHAME man. I don't hope you rot in hell. I hope you repent, and somehow manage to mean it. But something tells me that if that's how you view decent humanity and hide behind fucking 'rights' to express yourself, then I feel sorry for you. You're not one-tenth the man, nor celebrity that Steve Irwin does and I hope every fuckin' day that burns a hole through that shriveled bit 'o muscle you call a heart. Fuckity fuck, SHAME on you.
p.s. Mad Max is awesome by kuguy3000	Nov 1st, 2006 01:00:10 AM
Sorry for the rant above (see Maher's inanity) but it needed to be said. Can you aintitcool guys make a topic-forum for it? Hell, I'll write the opening... that shit can't stand. However, I'm thrilled to see a new Mad Max might happen. Having grown up and fully appreciative of the apacalyptic point-o-view, I've warn out more second-hand VHS tapes of the Road Warrior and Thunderdome than anything else. I LOVE the Max films... Get Mel back...do whatever it takes, even if it's just a cameo. Bring in the hurt, and make it great...c'mon Miller, you can do it. You made Babe fuckin ROCK the world, you can do this. Mel needs a proper swan song (recent events hereby rendered IRRELEVANT to his movies, so you jokes don't work no 'mo). P.s. Babe rocked. Babe 2, not so much. Never seen so many children cry in a kid's movie. Remember the "crippled doggie drowning" scene, along with the "slow motion suffocating fish"? Yeah...artsy. FUCK YOU MAHER.
Chances = slim + Bob by NachoNegro	Nov 1st, 2006 01:00:51 AM
I'd be more than happy to buy a ticket for Fury Road (AKA Mad Max 4 you losers). However, a) there is NO chance, NONE, of it being made. NONE. We have more chance of seeing Arnie in King Conan, Wings Of Heaven & The Crusades as a treble bill next weekend. This is complete vapourware, always has been. Nobody wants it more than me, but it just ain't going to happen, and it's as simple as that.

South Park & Irwin by Durendal	Nov 1st, 2006 01:05:12 AM
That one didn't really bother me. South Park shows EVERYONE going to hell (except the Mormons). Ghandi went to hell, fa chrissake! And people were upset about it in the episode, at least. South Park can do bad taste in good taste. Maher is just a tactless asswad attention whore.

Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior by Exeter	Nov 1st, 2006 02:05:39 AM
One of the greatest action/adventure movies ever, the road chases remain the best in cinema history (unlike the shitfest of matrix reloaded); the opening monologue "To understand who he was, you have to go back to another time..." and the opening shot of black zooming back from the roaring hood engine of the interceptor to see a ragged Max in the Interceptor with that furious intense music as he's flanked by two speeding bike barbarians sends shivers down my spine and makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Heck, those subtle low trumpets during the friggin credits puts me in an epic mood. Just a damn fine work of cinema.
oh yeah i await mad max 4 eagerly by Exeter	Nov 1st, 2006 02:10:12 AM
w/ mel of course (he owns the role like ford does indy), a more older and rougher max would own just as well. heck harrison ford's picking up the whip and fedora at 60 while mel's just 50! can't wait for this.

Don't do it, Mr Gibson by Franklin T Marmoset	Nov 1st, 2006 02:22:47 AM
I like this new Mel Gibson - MelGibson Version 2.0, maybe - who is the maverick independent film maker and crazy insensitive person. I don't agree with many of his personal views, but drunken attacks on police officers are more entertaining than a thousand 'going back to the well' type sequel films. Also, they remind me of your classic drunken looney film directors such as Mr Sam Pekinpah. Just let the Mad Max thing lie, Mr Gibson. You have so much more to offer these days.
"Complete Vapourware, always has been." by half vader	Nov 1st, 2006 02:24:28 AM
WTF are you talking about man? Did you not read that it was already going ahead only to be stopped by the war and associated fallout? They had crew in Namibia working on the vehicles and locations. I hope it gets going again, as it's more like 2 than 3. Warners being happy with how Happy Feet turned out are excited about it again, so never say never. Anyway I forgive you for all that because you introduced me to the term "chesticles". Genius!
Cineman by LeiaDown&FuckHer	Nov 1st, 2006 02:52:51 AM
Actually you might be right in your assumptions there, I didn't even think of that, but it fits. Then again with Mel who knows what the fuck he's talking about half the time...he is entertaining though.

hype by the zapper	Nov 1st, 2006 03:33:56 AM
Everytime I watch a Madmax film I feel like I'm in an episode of the twilight zone. I sit there thinking "what the hell is this shit?" while a bunch of shiity Australian TV actors prance around an abandoned gravel pit in second rate S&M costumes while NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENS; then when I stop watching everyone gushes to tell me how the films are fantastic, landmarks of the genre, low budget masterpieces etc WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE RATE MADMAX SO HIGHLY?! i just dont see it. I'm an Aussie, I love postapocalyptic flicks and sci-fi in general, and I've read countless books that study and giv insight to the films, yet for the life of me I can't see what makes them special. And I've tried, Lord how I hav tried. Look at the first one for instance: what happens? Cops kill some cackling idiot bad guy u never get to know, other bad guys get revenge, bad guys try to chase down max + wife, they kill wife....and then max goes on a rip roaring rampage of revenge. That last for a total of 8 minutes. :/ WTF?

Nacho and Bobbyjoe by half vader	Nov 1st, 2006 03:50:25 AM
Hey Nacho - yeah some of the crew had bought a house & moved their families over and everything! Not many but still how pissed off would you be that you had to up stumps and go back again?! ________________ Bobbyjoe I think enough time has passed that things are strangely right for him to play Max again, especially if you remember that Miller's original pitch to Gibson was that he (Max) was "Jesus in black leather"! Remember the talk about Heath Ledger plaing Max? I may be myopic but I reckon it's gotta be Mel.

Mad Max 4 died in the drunk tank in Malibu by Bill Clay	Nov 1st, 2006 06:58:46 AM

Gibson doubtful while Miller optimistic by bubcus	Nov 1st, 2006 12:14:03 PM
It's no secret that Gibson hated Mad Max 3. Personally I loved the film and it sits proudly on my DVD shelf. I'd love to see another Mad Max film and revisit the apocalyptic world but I really doubt Gibson would be interested. I'd hope he would be... but at the same time, it'd better be a great story. It'd be a shame, three or four years from now, if we were mocking the fourth installment for being a waste of time. Hmm... now I am craving watching Braveheart again. ;)
YackBacker by Mr. Nice Gaius	Nov 1st, 2006 12:23:33 PM
Didn't you hear? BSB is "brokebackcowboy". His friend, Phategod1 said so.
YackBacker by Mr. Nice Gaius	Nov 1st, 2006 12:52:53 PM
It was revealed over yonder in the Halo TB. Great AICN moment. *** And as for "shock and awe campaign on MNG and Anchorite's asses.", I have no idea what he's talking about. I've been pwning him since Monday but nobody said BSB was quick on the uptake. I guess that's what happens when you're punchdrunk.
MORE MAD MAX 4 info! by djhitchcock	Nov 1st, 2006 01:11:45 PM
If you guys want to hear George Miller spill even more beans about Mad Max 4, check out the latest audio interview with him on "Scene Unseen." http://www.sceneunseenpodcast. com
He's right about the name. by Mr. Nice Gaius	Nov 1st, 2006 01:12:29 PM
I didn't even notice there was a Phategod2. But really, does it even matter?
Ah, but after further review... by Mr. Nice Gaius	Nov 1st, 2006 01:16:44 PM
...Phategod makes the nature and reasoning behind his posts very clear. Good lad that Phategod.
BringingSexyBack, do you know how to read? by Mr. Nice Gaius	Nov 1st, 2006 01:20:12 PM
No one dragged Phategod into it. He responded on his own to a challenge put forth to you by your beloved, anchorite. Do you need someone to hold your hand and lead your through it, BSB?
YackBacker by Mr. Nice Gaius	Nov 1st, 2006 01:32:49 PM
Apparently, Phategod1 and Phategod2 are the same person. Reread the entire thread. He answers that question...which was asked by BSB himself. I admit, I didn't see the number "2" and it kind of freaked me out = I thought I goofed! And yes, Phategod is a loyal "Transformers" fan and TB regular. I'm sure he could clear this up quite easily.
No delusions here. by Mr. Nice Gaius	Nov 1st, 2006 01:34:21 PM
I'm feeling pretty good about this one.
Yackbacker by Mr. Nice Gaius	Nov 1st, 2006 02:23:59 PM
Phategod said in the HALO TB exactly what you just stated here: he has 2 SNs - one for home and one for work. The whole point about this is simple = even Phategod thinks BSB is BBCB. That in itself is hysterical. And that is why I brought it up.
There can be no cease-fire with you, BringingSexyBack. by Mr. Nice Gaius	Nov 1st, 2006 02:25:23 PM

... apparently, you forgot to include Phategod on your list. How are you going to explain this to your friend?
YackBacker by Mr. Nice Gaius	Nov 1st, 2006 02:30:03 PM
Oh yes, I remember him well. It's such a tragedy that BSB appears to be gunning for that coveted spot. *** And thanks for taking the time to address this recent issue in your previous post. It's appreciated.

Don't you find it interesting though that your first instinct was to accuse him of being BBCB? As I'm sure you know, I'm not the only one who thinks this. There is a whole laundry list of clues and tells that point toward this notion. (Anyone care to see if he posted in any of those Kong/LOTR TBs? Or, was he just conveniently lurking?) But I respect your opinion - no problemo there. *** As for the general beef: the BBCB/BSB issue aside...he's simply a trolling ass.

Because I remember you saying that you thought we were friends and that I couldn't be trusted with the cease-fire. I then told you to calm down and "meet us halfway here". (You refused to do you own research in your defense, remember???) After that, you went on another one of your cute "anchorite & MNG" multi-post sprees. What's the matter? You couldn't bait DocPazuzu so you had to come after me again instead, is that it? Well, you got me. I'm all ears, buddy.

Steve Irwin's demise... by ironburl	Nov 1st, 2006 04:58:48 PM
...was self-inflicted. You can't harrass wild animals with deadly defenses day in and day out for years on end and expect to survive. As far as the Mahr costume... lighten up guys, I'm sure you never had any friends who had tasteless halloween costumes. I swear I'll never understand the fondness you people have for that animal abuser. Yes I feel sorry for his kids (at least in a "I don't really know jack about them, but If I did I would" kind of way), but his wife was an enabler to his camel-tackling ways, so not as much sympathy for her.

No cutsie ferral ewoks and bartertown 80's rubber joy boy bollocks, get back to the purity of that old high octane brutality lashed-up post-apocalyptic neo-western! Hook Max up with another pimped up Ford Falcon and turn him loose on a hoard of drug addled nomadic motorhead bastardos bent on destroying the new Sydney colonies. BTW: Was his kid 'salvageable'? chuck in a bit more of that broken man regains his humanity arc and get re-unite Max with Franken-sprog..err and maybe kill him off whilst in the throes of some kind of third act supreme sacrifice. All bollocks aside, I love this franchaise, here's to Miller laying down a kick-ass rubber road fourth outing.

Michael Jackson lifts his kid over a balcony and he's the worst parent ever (well, there are other issues there). Steve Irvin hold his baby over a crocodile and his death is the sadest in recent history. Would Carrot Top get the same love if he died in a horrible prop accident?

mel gibson, you can do it!!! by LarryTheCableGuy	Nov 1st, 2006 09:49:32 PM
i think the mad max films are each on their own level excellent pics, classics, movies that will hold up for the next 50 years, unlike most of the forgetable action films made in the last 5 years. an angry bitter torn up old mad max in his 50s or so would work famously just as old Indiana jones and or the Ghostbusters would work. its a must, mel could take a 3 month break from making his awesome independent movies, apacalyptico looks fantastic i must add. i head FURY ROAD was very good script and i'd love to at least read it. i also must say mad max thunderdome definately is underarated as one person stated earlier, its like a more spiritual mad max film, theyre all kinda different from eachother, like three seperate max stories taking place in this future wasteland. and on steve irwin, i think the south park joke wasnt that bad since it kinds wasnt making fun of steve, or at least it hid that in a larger joke which the punchline was ... "oh sorry dude, then no costume, you gotta go". it could of been any recently dead celebrity, steve just happened to be the most famous or recognizable one to die recently. thats how i feel about south park, as for bill maher, i never like the deuche and think it's just dumb to of did that, cause it's not really that clever so it's not really that funny in my book, it's not gonna get him anywhere and it's not gonna impress me how shocking it is or anything, it was a lame choice. he sucks anyway,alls he does is read jokes off a prompter or something, news jokes are the easiset kind anyway, its so easy to make fun of politiocal people who are already morons, at least steve irwin got out there and lived life and taught us something interesting and possibly useful if in the right situation and south park guys at least theyre creative and make us laugh, not u bill maher, not you!!!!!!!!!!! lcg out!

I don't think Mel would be too old for these. by Jaka	Nov 2nd, 2006 12:33:26 AM
Not at all. They could do these until he's freakin 90. They'd just have to write the part to his age. It could work forever. It will be interesting to see if he does it (them) or not, though. People are going to hate on Mel forever now. Even if he creates/performs in many more great films. Or his first, if that's your POV. However you feel about that and his recent drunken behavior is fine with me. But I do wonder how much it's going to affect his future work. Because it won't be about money - it will be about selecting the films that will best rebuild his "image". It will be about making him marketable again. Or, he could just make his own damn movies. But this is really what I find interesting about Mel now. I'm kinda over all the scandle and backlash. I just want to see what happens next.
Lucas Pattern by Bazzz	Nov 2nd, 2006 12:59:02 AM
This series should have stopped with Mad Max 2. Beyond Thunderdome was a mess a classic example of the Lucas pattern - a good director gradually losing his ability to discern good scripts from trash. I have no interest in Mad Max 4 unless Mel takes out Tina Turner in retaliation for Mad Max 3.
Gibbo's Age by NachoNegro	Nov 2nd, 2006 02:00:20 AM
I say the same thing I say about Indy IV - it will work, as long as they don't pretend he is still 35. And by all accounts Fury Road was going to portray him at the right age. The thing is, in my view as much as I loved the Lethal Weapon films, I think they have to be left as they are - there's no need for a sequel. IV left the series on a high note, it closed everything off without pushing things too far. Any LW film now would be too far outside of the whole ethos of the films in the first place - whereas Max (or Indy for that matter) really don't need to be 35. Frankly I am far more concerned about a wig-less Bruce Willis donning the string vest again - that's another series that perhaps should be left alone.
Mel Gibson joins the cast of Lost by Canadian Cricket Team Fanclub	Nov 2nd, 2006 04:53:05 AM
I guess Mel blew his chances to guest star on Lost. As for age - Mel's only 50! He'll have no problems playing Mad Max (and I look forward to seeing the ol' psychopathic loner with a grey beard). Indy IV I had a dream about the other night, I helped Harrison walk up a flight of stairs during filming because he had a bad hip. Bad sign? No way. Harrison has stated that he wants Indy to show his age in the next film, so it's not gonna be Sean Connery ala The Rock. I'm more concerned about rumour of Natalie Portman playing Indy and Marion's daughter (but I'll be damn happy to see Karen Allen back on the bigscreen). We've had the two Mummy films with Weisz already. Keep the focus on Indy.
Fury Road by kwisatzhaderach	Nov 2nd, 2006 05:42:58 AM
Gibber, get this film made ASAP! And no CG bullshit in it either, keep the stunts REAL!
Indy IV by NachoNegro	Nov 2nd, 2006 05:58:58 AM
Coudln't agree more. Get Karen Allen back, and ditch this rubbish plotline about Natalie 'small but perfectly formed' Portman as his daughter (or at least have it as a sidebar to the story only). Would love to see Karen Allen back for this one - have met her, lovely woman. I'm sure she'd be up for it. As for Portman, put her in Fury Road instead - she'll do fine, and at least that way we might get some nudity out of her.

Why this particular detail about this whole Flame War escapes your tired, ignorant, feeble mind is a mystery to me. It's almost as mysterious as your fascination with all things gay, hairy, and indiscrete. I'm not sure about this fixation of yours. But if what you really want is for me to fuck you BSB, I will.

...on each other. Really, neither one of you is winning whatever flame war you imagine you're waging against each other and its undermining some credibility you've both established when not addressing or baiting each other. This is just an outside observer's opinion. I've agreed with both of you on different topics and enjoyed typing back and forth with both of you on others. But you need to let go of this weird fatal attraction thing you've got going on. As for the topic at hand, much as I enjoy Mel as a self-defeating joke of a drunken shell of a man, I'd love to be able to see him in another Mad Max movie that makes me forget about all that shit for a couple of hours. That was a great world Miller created and Mel's the centerpiece. Unlike Harrison Ford, who is clearly too old to play whip-slinging, truck jumping Indy, I have no trouble believing a 50-something Mel driving erratically in his never-ending quest for "the juice" and getting out of his car all surly and ready to fight when obstructed or contested. Somehow it seems like the role he was destined to play.

Gibson gets Latino vision award for "Apocalypto" By Jill Serjeant 2 hours, 27 minutes ago LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Mel Gibson may have few friends left in the Jewish community but his upcoming movie "Apocalypto" could make him a hero with U.S. Latinos. ADVERTISEMENT Gibson received an award from the Los Angeles-based Latin Business Association on Thursday for his "vision and courage" in making his epic tale set in the ancient Mayan Indian empire -- a movie filmed in Mexico and with an all-Hispanic cast. Showing a conference of Latino business leaders excerpts of the movie, the actor-director described the making of "Apocalypto" as a "badge of honor for the Latino community." Gibson, who spurred outrage by going on a anti-Semitic rant this summer when arrested for drunk driving, called his Mayan-dialect story of human sacrifice an adventure movie. He said it was inspired by his own interest in the Mayan civilization, which thrived more than 1,000 years ago in what is now Mexico and Central America. The film is set for release in early December. He said he spent eight months casting the movie, choosing performers -- some of them Mayans -- who had mostly never acted before. The movie has no star names and most of the crew, including make-up and costume artists and set designers, were also recruited in Mexico. "It was tantamount to being at the Super Bowl and getting your quarterback from the audience," he admitted. "But they scored touchdown after touchdown. I don't know why no one has gone down there before." CULTURAL PRIDE Presenting the award, Latin Business Association chairman Rick Sarmiento said that at a time of anti-Latino rhetoric in the United States, the movie had made him "feel extremely proud of everything to do with our culture." Latinos are the fastest growing minority in the United States with a population expected to reach 49 million by the end of the decade. But rising Latino influence and purchasing power is clouded by a divisive national debate over illegal immigration, much of it from Latin America. Gibson's appearance at the luncheon was part of a bid to reach out to a target audience in promoting his $30 million movie, which was seen as a marketing challenge even before his drunken, anti-Semitic outburst in July. The 50-year-old Oscar winner checked himself to an alcohol rehabilitation center and has apologized, saying he was ashamed of telling police that "Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Two years ago Gibson had to fight off charges of anti-Semitism surrounding his film "The Passion of the Christ" -- also a deeply personal project -- which despite initial scepticism over its Aramaic and Latin language grossed $611 million worldwide. Gibson, a devout Roman Catholic, said the Mayan civilization had always intrigued him, although little was known about it in the industrial Western world. "It is generally a conceit of filmmakers that history only began with Europeans," he said. "Apocalypto," he said "is not really a Hollywood production. It is a film made by Mexico."

Australia isn't racist by bender7	Nov 3rd, 2006 02:51:45 AM
Australia is suffering the consequences from polticians who decided to make Australia a 'multicultural country'. However all this pretty notion consisted of was having loose immigration policies and encouraging other countries to emigrate to Australia, with no real goals or way to succesfully intergrate vastly different cultures crashing together. Recent events are simply a predicatble climax that the country needs to address

I don't know how you can glean anything from my post that says Im racist or a nazi. But I guess you would know right, because you know exactly what race I am right? And you know the situation in Australia better than me right? Listen retard, admitting their is differences between cultures is not racism. Pretending there isn't differences is close minded PC bullshit. The key in succesful intergration is recognising and respecting EVERY culture and to implement stratergies so that coexistance can acheived. Not just shoving everyone in a melting pot and awaiting the inevitable fireworks.
