Mel Gibson Surprisingly Manages to Outdick Even Mel Gibson

Yeah, yeah. Mel Gibson is still a racist, anti-Semitic, misogynistic asshole. I declare his punishment to be like in that one Die Hard movie where they made Die Hard walk around in the ghetto with that sandwich board. How ‘bout it, justice system? (Celebitchy)

Here are the ten worst Steven Spielberg movies. I can actually safely say that I haven’t seen a one of these. (Desonesto Doctrine)

Oooh! The new season of “Curb” is shooting! I would be more excited if I were caught up with last season, which I’m not since for some reason HBO takes umbrage with people streaming that show online. (Evil Beet)

Remember the stoned kid after the dentist, who was like the funniest thing on the entire internet for a week? Oh yeah, the dad quit his job and is made a shit ton of money exploiting his kid. Not that I wouldn’t do the same damn thing, mind you. (Gamma Squad)

Did someone say prostitute? No? Well here’s your most memorable movies hookers, anyway. (Screen Junkies)

Ding, dong! The old whores are dead! Yes, any future incarnations of Sex and the City have been permanently shelved. I don’t know why, being that they’re basically like “Golden Girls,” only living in NYC and not funny. (Agent Bedhead)

What if River Tam was the singer of a folk band from the sixties? Here’s your answer. (Unreality)

If you’ve ever had the urge to hear eight really sad children sing the saddest versions of Christmas carols you’ve ever heard — you’re in luck because Kate Gosselin wants to record a holiday album with her portable sweatshop. (Yeeeah!)

It was inevitable: The porn parody of Toy Story. (Holy Taco)

OK, this James Franco shit just got weirder. Now he’s back on “General Hospital” playing a serial killer artist. Being that he’s also now an artist in real life — James Franco, are you trying to tell us something? (Warming Glow)

Some of you may remember Steven’s fantastic post on Alan Turing a few weeks ago, and if you’re into Turing, you might want to check out this tribute from Wolfram Alpha, who I’m told is a pretty big deal in the computer science world. (Wolfram Alpha)

Because apparently people like Homer Simpson really exist, even though Homer Simpson technically isn’t actually a person who exists, here are a bunch of restaurants who serve 15 course menus. (Zagat)

Twilight: Eclipse has opened bigger than Dark Knight, proving that there are more teenage girls in the United States than adult nerds. Suck on that, U.S. Census! (Film Drunk)

A bunch of new reality shows about OCD are popping up, and they’re basically like “Hoarders” or “Intervention” without all the fun computer duster and mummified cats and you’re just left with the sadness. (Zelda Lily)

Here are the stories behind 15 famous celebrity stage names. (mental floss)

Here are four minutes and change of Liza Minnelli being lunatic fab on the Home Shopping Network, for which we have the awesome Rich over at FourFour to thank. Everyone thank Rich, kids.

Sorry. I'm high on the win and I have to scream about it in yet another place. I'm gonna disappear for a while now.

That Fireflies album cover makes my heart sing. Sing shiny songs of joy and adventure.

so you'll report on gibson being a misogynistic asshole but use the same article to propagate women as whores? i mean, he is, but the hypocrite is you...or you're just a misogynistic asshole as well

That's a bit of a stretch.

Spielberg list was horrible. Take some time and check out Always and 1941.

Posted by: LwoodPDowd at July 2, 2010 12:53 PM

What's really funny about that Kate Gosselin item is the fact that upon reading it, I thought, "'Portable Sweatshop' would make an awesome band name!" And then I realized it was.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at July 2, 2010 12:57 PM

use the same article to propagate women as whores?

a) What?
2) That word... I do not think it means what you think it means.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at July 2, 2010 1:01 PM

The movie hooker list was alright... except The Girlfriend Experience was one of the worst movies ever made. I swear, porn actors and actresses get more emotionless every year. I've seen blow up dolls with more emotion that Sasha Grey.

Posted by: Voodoo Lounger at July 2, 2010 1:06 PM

Get back to work, we're running out of whores!

I'll have no ill spoken of "1941" in this house.

Posted by: Jay at July 2, 2010 1:08 PM

Lwood is right, that Spielberg list was pointless. Some obvious choices like 1941 and Hook and some deep as a puddle insight. Spielberg has yet to make a total disaster, and yes I'm including Crystal Skull although that IS the worst movie of his career. That said, Crystal Skull was STILL better than most big studio output.

"Always" is an excellent movie. John Goodman, Richard Dreyfuss, and Holly Hunter. It was the last movie Audrey Hepburn ever did and she fittingly played an angel.

RE Voodoo Lounger: "The movie hooker list was alright... except The Girlfriend Experience was one of the worst movies ever made. I swear, porn actors and actresses get more emotionless every year. I've seen blow up dolls with more emotion that Sasha Grey."

I think it's called "pretending that what you do for a living doesn't disgust you." It's amusing when people who watch porn expect the people who work in it to act like they like it. Besides, people watch porn for the acting?

Thanks, Rich!

That Liza clip made my life. Did I hear this correctly (right at the end):

Caller: You come from so much diversity, and you've overcome it. You're a mentor to me!

Liza: You're a mentor to me, too!

HEE!

Posted by: Edith at July 2, 2010 1:28 PM

Thank you, TylerDFC.

I just have to say that 'outdick' is a glorious, useful word that I'll be adding to my vocabulary post haste!

Posted by: Pinky McLadybits at July 2, 2010 1:33 PM

I don't think the point of the Senior Spielbergo list was to call them all bombs, (of which a few were) but to list the more abject failures of his oeuvre when compared only to itself.

That being said, the idea of someone having "safely" never seen all ten movies on that list while working and writing for a film-review site is beyond me.

Posted by: Some Guy at July 2, 2010 1:33 PM

It looked like the models in the Liza video were praying for the sweet sweet release of death.

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at July 2, 2010 1:41 PM

Per Spielberg, his WWII movies Saving Private Ryan and 1941 did have something in common: during the screenings of both that he attended he could hear a pin drop.

Posted by: DarthCorleone at July 2, 2010 1:48 PM

I'm sure Mel Gibson's punishment will be making $10-$15 million per picture instead of $20-$25 million.

I'm just curious who will be his apologists this time around.

Posted by: John W at July 2, 2010 1:50 PM

Per that Spielberg link...

and finally, it ends thousands of years in the future with strange robots (who look like aliens and may actually be aliens… we’re never told this)

They are NOT aliens, and, yeah, I'm pretty sure the dialogue makes that extremely clear short of saying "we are not aliens." Just because this person misinterpreted it the first time does not make that a valid interpretation for stubbornly critiquing the film.

Posted by: DarthCorleone at July 2, 2010 1:52 PM

10.) Empire of the Sun: Nominated for 6 Oscars.
9.) War of the Worlds: Nominated for 3 Oscars. Its also a decent Tom Cruise movie.
8.) Hook: Nominated for 5 Oscars. Not to mention a kids movie with Robin Williams, Julia Roberts, Dustin Hoffman, and a cameo with Glenn Close as a man. Don't fuck with my childhood.
7.) The Terminal: yeah...I got nothing.
6.) A.I. Artificial Intelligence: Nominated for 2 Oscars. Come on...a robot prostitute Jude Law? Fantastic.
5.) Amistad: Nominated for 4 Oscars.
4.) The Lost World-Jurassic Park: Nominated for 1 Oscar.
3.) 1941: Nominated for 3 Oscars.

I can't argue with #1 and #2. Granted, while most of these Oscars are nominations for technical aspects, I think his main argument should be how even Spielbergs shitty movies kick the ass of 90% of directors out there.

Posted by: DeistBrawler at July 2, 2010 1:56 PM

@ Desitbrawler, I hate to pull this card out but...

Titanic: Nominated for 14 Oscars, won 8.

Not the strongest argument, is all I'm sayin'.

Posted by: The Other Agent Johnson at July 2, 2010 2:00 PM

That's a bit of a stretch.

a) What?
2) That word... I do not think it means what you think it means.

perhaps, but enough with calling the SATC cast a bunch of old whores. it's a tired description and only puts down women in general...you know, like the kind that like sex regardless of age. and what sense does it make to be outraged that someone called their ex a "pig in heat" if you turn around and use other derogatory terms to refer to other women?

Posted by: Sinnh at July 2, 2010 2:02 PM

Besides, people watch porn for the acting?

Well Slash, in a word, yes. The last time the hubs and I selected a flick, it took ages. I prefer some vague semblance of storyline, he prefers facials, so it takes a while. We ended up selecting "The Last Rose" with Sasha Grey and HOLYHELLWORSTPORNEVER! The director tried SO HARD to make ART-- shudder. I flipped out when they walked in on marionette porn (I'm afraid of marionettes), and then lost it when I skipped to the next scene where someone slits their wrists in a tub! We were both just laughing as I yelled, "Worst porn EVER!"

Plus the article was referring to Sasha's "acting" in The Girlfriend Experience, a "real" movie.

Posted by: Patty O'Green at July 2, 2010 2:02 PM

Ohhhhhh, that. My eyeballs jumped that item altogether. Respectfully withdrawn.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at July 2, 2010 2:05 PM

(Well, the "a) What?" part. Propagate is still the wrong word. ;P)

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at July 2, 2010 2:08 PM

i figured you were mocking the word "propagate" and i agree it's not the right word so, yeah, good point

Posted by: Sinnh at July 2, 2010 2:18 PM

sigh. james franco...

Posted by: splinter at July 2, 2010 2:20 PM

Anna: I think the word they are looking for is "plethora". Old whores likely cannot propagate simply by definition of being both "old" (thus unable to carry child) and "whore" (selling themselves sexually, used up and undesirable, filled with diseases and being generally unclean). If I remember right I learned this on Sesame Street. Or Red Shoe Diaries, I forget which.

Posted by: TylerDFC at July 2, 2010 2:22 PM

Yeah, I think being raped by a pack of naggers would be terrible too.

Posted by: Vi at July 2, 2010 2:22 PM

Mel Gibson could always star in The Don Imus Story.

Posted by: DarthCorleone at July 2, 2010 3:03 PM

Per TheFreeDictionary.com: Propagate 5. To make widely known; publicize. Perhaps writing "to propagate the term whores for women" would have made more sense but I still got the gist of Sinnh's post.

Posted by: snapnhiss at July 2, 2010 3:11 PM

Watching Liza Minelli trying to function on HSN is like watching a koala bear on roller skates.

Liza may indeed have a wheelbarrow full of crazy, but she is so completely out of her depth and regular milieu that she just doesn't know what to do with herself. I feel sympathetic towards her.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at July 2, 2010 3:22 PM

@darthcorleone: brilliant

Posted by: splinter at July 2, 2010 3:23 PM

Yes. Stacey having one link that calls out Mel Gibson for being a misogynist ass and another link where she calls the SATC girls old whores is hypocritical bullshit. She's being a huge asshole herself.

Posted by: Shimmy at July 2, 2010 3:28 PM

I am so sad we'll never get to have the SATC 3 thread.

Posted by: Jay at July 2, 2010 3:51 PM

*joins the 'whoo Netherlands!' crowd, even though she doesn't really like soccer*

I had no idea there were (several?) other Dutchies here. :D

Posted by: Linda at July 2, 2010 4:52 PM

Linda/Janey: Another Dutchie here...are you in Amsterdam? My street went NUTS when we won!!

Dudes, who's watching Ghana/Uruguay. I can't breathe I'm so tense...come on Ghana!!!

Posted by: Mona at July 2, 2010 5:09 PM

Hey! I like 1941 and I REALLY liked Amistad. So I disagree with those two as being Spielberg stinkers. They aren't. I think the writer of that article needs to re-watch Amistad at the very least.

Posted by: Snuggiepants at July 2, 2010 5:35 PM

We got actors using the n-word, hoes, and toy porn. Be still my heart.

Posted by: Pookie at July 2, 2010 6:27 PM

It may be the 10 worst Spielberg movies, but they are still head and shoulders above the 10 greatest movies of any other director out there.

Posted by: elzupasmonkey at July 2, 2010 6:54 PM

In my list of memorable movie hookers, I'd include Louise Brooks in DIARY OF A LOST GIRL.

Posted by: Pat C at July 2, 2010 7:09 PM

wow, i don't normally subscribe to getting uppity about the messy lives of actors and basing my film choices on whether i like my impressions of the actor as a person, but that article about mel gibson was really shocking. i hate to say it, but it made me feel shitty about watching his last film.

Posted by: idleprimate at July 2, 2010 8:38 PM

Ladies and Gentlemen calm down, this ain’t the first time Mad Max went Goebbles on his old lady and it won’t be the last.

Posted by: Pookie at July 2, 2010 9:36 PM

Am I the only one who noticed that in the Firefly poster, Shepard Book was replaced by a blond haired white boy? Did they think having a black guy playing the cloths wash thingy was racist? Cause I would argue that replacing the black guy with an aryan youth is even more racist.

Posted by: Morgan Lefai at July 3, 2010 5:01 AM

@ Mona: nope, Groningen/Zwolle (technically Groningen but I'm right now housesitting my parents' house in Zwolle). The floor downright shook with the jumping and stamping the neighbours were doing at each goal!

Posted by: Linda at July 3, 2010 10:37 AM

I just love it that absolutely no one questions the veracity of the Gibson rant despite lacking an actual audiotape. I believe it too, every word. No sarcasm.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at July 3, 2010 11:09 AM

i was assuming these tapes have been corroborated. you can't make public statements like that without proof or you will be sued into the 8th dimension.

also, if the statements are not true, then if her goal was to wound him, it backfires and makes him seem the victim. i do guess they are both a piece of work.

Posted by: idleprimate at July 3, 2010 2:29 PM

What kind of empty shell of a human being doesn't enjoy Hook? I wonder what it would be like to hate joy...
