I don't know how many Mel Gibson fans will be opening up this thread, but you're going to get lots who are fans of pornography and/or Eddie Haskell.

would like a calmer set (Eazy), Saturday, 4 December 2010 22:43 (fifteen years ago)

this is supposedly a pretty good movie, but the studio's been sitting on it for a while for obvious reasons

Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 17 March 2011 06:13 (fourteen years ago)

mel gibson and jodie foster are in a fake indie flick!! wow

40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 17 March 2011 10:50 (fourteen years ago)

you can tell the indieness is fake because it's still teal_and_orange.xls

40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 17 March 2011 10:51 (fourteen years ago)

Give it a few years, then teal_and_orange.xls will be a sign of wry ironic indie reappropriation.

"Beaver in spotlight and Gibson laps it up"

one month passes...

So I'm seeing this tom'w. Hadn't realized Jodie is in the cast (obv I didn't watch trailer) -- and Jon Stewart and Terry Gross are playing themselves.

not quite as ghastly as I'd expected, but close 'nuff

good review

jeff, Sunday, 1 May 2011 22:07 (fourteen years ago)

i keep seeing previews for this and get a little resentful that i'm being asked to take it seriously

goole, Sunday, 1 May 2011 22:08 (fourteen years ago)

Getting surprisingly respectful reviews, not just from Roeper and Rex Reed but G Kenny, Time Out NY etc.

But trust me.

resistance does not require a firearm (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 4 May 2011 17:44 (fourteen years ago)

Mel Gibson can go suck eggs.

Aimless, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 17:48 (fourteen years ago)

Glenn Kenny's blog has a comment that makes sense: Bobcat Goldthwait might've known how to direct this.

Having seen Shakes the Clown (but not his most recent effort) that is a film I'd be willing to see.

seven months pass...

okay so I was informed over the holiday that this film ends with Mel Gibson CHOPPING OFF HIS HAND

The Uncanny Frankie Valley (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 3 January 2012 17:55 (fourteen years ago)

was a total "of course, duh" moment

The Uncanny Frankie Valley (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 3 January 2012 17:57 (fourteen years ago)

tsk tsk, where is your spoiler sensitivity?

Dr Morbois de Bologne (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 3 January 2012 18:00 (fourteen years ago)

Was his dialogue in the original Mayan for that scene?

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 3 January 2012 18:01 (fourteen years ago)

sorry for ruining this movie for you morbz

The Uncanny Frankie Valley (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 3 January 2012 18:15 (fourteen years ago)

then again if you're going to a Mel movie and NOT expecting some mutilation/torture I dunno what to tell you

The Uncanny Frankie Valley (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 3 January 2012 18:16 (fourteen years ago)

that is not the END of the film however. Everyone learns lessons.

Dr Morbois de Bologne (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 3 January 2012 18:23 (fourteen years ago)

oh good

The Uncanny Frankie Valley (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 3 January 2012 18:28 (fourteen years ago)

does the lesson involve getting raped by a black man

The Uncanny Frankie Valley (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 3 January 2012 18:28 (fourteen years ago)
