What the hell is Mel doing?

[Cuphead]

Is he going to start going the Nicolas Cage and Bruce Willis route where he just starts doing a bunch of movie where he shows up to set for a day or two to shoot some quick scenes that amount to maybe 15 minutes of screen time? You're better than this Mel. I really hope he's only doing these to get funding for Passion of the Christ 2.

He probably just sees it as a job, as he should. Nigga got to eat.

The payday is like $1 million a day for 4-8 hours of work. It's a pretty sweet gig and just don't watch the bullshit if you are worried about his legacy. The movies are pretty much just Redbox/VOD/and for overseas-- $5 million dollar budgets or in that range.

Who are we to question what Mel does?

Saint Mel is finding it hard to get real studios to put him on again. Nigga needs to work.

 

[Cyberatorquer]

Many people doubted Jesus in his lifetime too. They are all dead.

 

[Phish]

They said “hey mel wanna come to Calabasas for a week to shoot a few scenes and fuck around a million dollars?” and Mel said “well ive already had my dick sucked 4 times this morning, may as well siphon some more money out of you dirty heebs pockets, so yeah, why not?”

I'd rather push out a few stinkers for small studios and get paid a few million for the screen time and logistics of a small role. Just a few hours at the studio and millions. He's in his 60s he don't need to be on the set for weeks at a time just to make a little more.

I don't even have interest in Mel Gibson tbhwy but I respect the man for his "hustle" as the kids call it these days.

Exactly.

I believe what you meant to say was hes “getting that bag, yo. No cap”

Straight up.

Didn't Hacksaw Ridge get a few Oscars? Can't be that hard.

 

[Mc.Faggot]

I love Mel as a person, but he hasn't starred in a good movie in a while.

It got a couple of Oscars and a bunch of awards season noms but after that the whole Winona shit reared up again and Mel was quietly placed back on the shitlist. He was actually on his way to directing the Suicide Squad sequel, despite admitting he didn’t understand superhero movies but that all quietly went away again.

Get the Gringo was the last one that I thought was pretty good

Sounds about right

I remember the Suicide Squad there was talks about him directing it, but there was even an interview where he said there were talks but he wasn't sure if he would take the project. I think that was more him just losing intrest and didn't have anything to do with Winona.

Watch Dragged Across Concrete If you haven’t yet.

I assure you the fallout from people being outraged about his Oscar success damaged him. Accept it or don’t.
