What does Heartbreak Ridge have to do with Mel Gibson?

Love the meltdowns every time Mel Gibson is involved with anything these days.
Not sure about the movie itself as everyone involved is too old. But you never know, and Mel can be a good director.

He probably means Hacksaw Ridge

GAF's Nicest Lunch Thief
Mel's anti-Semitism is one of the most lethal weapons I've ever seen.

You’re free to have as many stupid opinions as you would like. But they are, in fact, stupid. If you are watching Hollywood movies for their historical accuracy and content, I will tell you that you are looking in the wrong place. It would be like looking for political news by going to ESPN.
But most people already know that. Because they’re movies. For entertainment. We have a category called documentaries. You seem to have a tough time differentiating between the two.

God bless Bill Burr.
I hope this ties into the TV show or just says fuck it and does a full on Donnerverse with Superman, Damien of the Omen, and some kids from the Goonies all thrown in there.
Or a LW/Die Hard crossover. You know Bruce Willis will do ANYTHING for $$$.
This is gonna be a nostalgia fest. The only way I see Riggs and Murtaugh getting involved in ANYTHING is if a villain from their past shows up and threatens some grandkids or something. Probably play into Riggs' SF/CIA past.
They just can't capture that feel of 80's buddy action films. Something essential was lost with how those films looked, sounded, and were paced.

It is just your opinion that entertainment should not be held to these standards, and I don't really care because I don't think it is a good faith argument. I'm sure you would be the first to complain if some big budget film had some element that you thought was just unbelievable BS. Just you would say it is not entertaining, cool, faithful to source material, or something else.

I just think your expectations are ridiculous and make you look like a moron. You’re basically complaining that Best Buy doesn’t carry a good selection of textbooks.

A Jewish Transgender will be the villain in the movie

To be clear, I expect historical films to have inaccuracies. I also expect any historical film directed by Mel Gibson to have many historical inaccuracies of epic proportion. The question here is if I should have any minimum standards of good taste and respect for facts or not.

Can't wait for it. The Lethal Weapon series is a favourite of mine. As crazy as Mel can be from time to time I love the guy as an actor and director.

I love the LW films, and I'm really excited to see what Mel will do with part 5.

Impressive actor and director, let him enjoy making the movie from a historic franchise like Lethal Weapon.

Seeing Jet Li beat the living snot out of Riggs and Murtaugh was cathartic stuff.
Hope Donnie Yen is the villain in 5, out for revenge.

Okay buddy. I still think you should check out documentaries sometime. They seem more like what you’re looking for. The rest of us will watch movies for entertainment. You know. The reason they are made. No one watches Titanic to learn about the hull integrity of early 20th century ships. If you want “respect for facts”, try a history class.

It's weird that people suddenly forgot he directed Hacksaw Ridge as well only a few years ago, and has been acting on and off too. Weirdos.
P.S: Watch Dragged Across Concrete. Fucking awesome.

I don't get why REEs have a problem with him, go rile up a Commie and ask it how it feels about Jews.

Dunno, but, she's all natural and has a nice body. It's thinner than what I'd normally go for, but she's pretty well proportioned/endowed for her frame. Exceptional Milkers, S-tier.

His then wife recorded his drunken calls to her where he yells at her saying "I hope you get raped by a pack of ni**ers!" And some other antisemitic crap. I think he said something else racist about Latinos, too.
Guys, guys, guys, stop derailing the thread. Who are you talking about and how can I not see these pics?

I don’t know. The idea that saying some stupid, racist bullshit should stain your entire life when Hollywood gives awards to Roman Polanski and Woody Allen is insane to me. I guess the lesson is that it’s ok to actually abuse underage girls, but if you say bad words on the phone, you don’t get to move on ever.
Don’t get me wrong. What Gibson said was bad. But at the end of the day, he said mean words, while drunk and angry. I don’t think it should be defended. I just think it’s being completely blown out of proportion because it’s a easy way for people to feel good about themselves, particularly on the internet.

Mike Tyson gets work constantly and he's a convicted rapist. I don't know what the standards are. It's really strange.
