My argument is your argument is ridiculous, man.
It's outlandish as hell.
None of this is going to happen.
My argument is
Your argument was that Disney shareholders would force Kevin Feige to hire Mel Gibson to make Iron Man 4 because they need that guaranteed 1 billion that would cease to become guaranteed the minute they hired Mel Gibson.
None of this is happening.
I'm not "recharacterizing" anything. It's what you're saying.
Anyone can scroll right back up and see it for themselves, man. I'm not editing your posts. They're right there.
What do you want to do to him at this point?Really cant agree with the whole "People shouldnt be held accountable for things they say while they are drunk" comment.
I mean i do believe that you can do and say things that you wouldnt normally and should be excused for in the grand scheme of things but the things he is on record as saying dont just come out from nowhere.
What do you want to do to him at this point?
He's basically ostracized by the Hollywood film industry for his alleged anti-semitism, he's lost a ton of opportunities, he's had a lot of doors closed on him, at some point people have to realize this isn't going to help anyone, we're depriving the audience of his gift as a top tier director when the Michael Bays of the world is churning out garbage. Somebody fund him on a pro-Israeli film, ffs.
You are editing my posts by cutting off my argument and inserting your own characterization of my argument.
I'm not editing your posts. Only you can do that. I'm choosing which part of your posts work best as a springboard to my response to you. That's not editing your posts. That's editing my posts.

I agree that your argument that Disney does not care about a billion dollar opportunity because it has other billion dollar films in the can is silly and not very persuasive.Bobby Roberts said:This argument is silly. Good day to you sir.
You seem to be taking this issue emotio
I SAID GOOD DAY
guaranteed 1 billion
Bobby really loved Shao Kahn in the movie
Disney should hire Polanski to do IM 4. They owe it to their shareholders.
Bobby how do you think MK Annihilation would do if it was released now

What do you make of the current wave of superhero movies? In the 80s, blockbusters were more star-driven.
Some are good. Some are kind of funny ... Guardians of the Galaxy. Or the first Iron Man. And some of them are just like retreats. I mean you can watch them do Spider-Man five times ... There is a slight shift in film. But, then again, I think all films are suffering from people not being able to now open them with their name. It’s a different kind of business these days.
Ever been approached to be in a superhero film?
Yeah, long time ago, to play Thor’s dad. But I didn’t do it.
Actors have really taken to social media in recent years. Planning to join the party?
No. I don’t tweet. I fart.
I'm sorry, is RDJ also a closet racist?

Mel Gibson is one of the few people that supported him, the only reason he has a career.
No, Shane Black putting him in Kiss Kiss is why he got the Iron Man job.
That was going to happen whether Mel Gibson did anything or not.
I asked Mel to present this award for me for a reason. When I couldn’t get sober, he told me not to give up hope and encouraged me to find my faith. It didn’t have to be his or anyone else’s, as long as it was rooted in forgiveness. And I couldn’t get hired, so he cast me in the lead of a movie that was actually developed for him. He kept a roof over my head and food on the table and, most importantly, he said if I accepted responsibility for my wrongdoing and embraced that part of my soul that was ugly—hugging the cactus, he calls it—he said that if I hugged the cactus long enough, I’d become a man.
The movie made by the Lethal Weapon writer who is also a good friend of Gibson
I'm just saying Shane Black and Mel Gibson have known each other for ages, not that he got it made. As for Kiss Kiss, Mel Gibson did vouch Robert which is why they moved away from people like Mel Gibson for the role.Gibson didn't have to "vouch" for Downey to Shane Black. Downey was hanging out around Shane already. Lethal Weapon getting bought and made by Dick Donner wasn't Mel Gibson's doing.
Austin Film Festival 2005 said:Black mentioned that there was real chemistry between the two and that they remain good friends after filming. He also said that Mel Gibson called up Joel Silver and personally vouched for Robert Downey Jr. to land him the gig. Shane Black originally kept seeing Downey around the office because he was dating one of Joel Silver's producers, but after Gibson's call he just sat him down and had him read a few lines and it was like hearing the perfect translation of his script coming out of Doney's mouth. I have to say that's true, Downey's dialogue, both in the film and the narration, is supremely natural and hilarious.
Without getting sober and without getting the SInging Detective, he would not have been seen as lead material for Kiss Kiss in the first place. Aside from helping him for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Of course, it is still his performance that got him into Iron Man and his performance there that got him to return for Iron Man 2 if Terrence Howard is to be believed.I'm not saying Gibson & Downey aren't friends, or that Gibson didn't go to bat for Downey before. I'm saying Downey's career resurgence has pretty much nothing to do with Mel Gibson's "Help" at all because the circumstances that led to his hiring on Kiss Kiss are Gibson-free. It was all Shane Black.
Or because Shane Black needed it more at that point, Mel Gibson was working on stuff while Black just sobered up?Which is probably why when he had the opportunity to reciprocate on Iron Man 3, he tapped Shane, not Mel.
