He went almost 5 years without being in ANY movie. That's an eternity in hollywood years.
Not an eternity when you finance your own hit. You think old boy was searching for rom coms after making a couple hundred million on a massive bet.

Who said he was broke? I said he got ghosted after the anti-semetic comments. Being blackballed for 5 years when you're at the peak of your popularity qualifies, right?
Being able to make your films is one thing. Being able to DISTRIBUTE them is another..especially during that era.
and this is about his "comback"
"If you haven’t noticed yet, Mel Gibson, the Oscar-winning actor and director who was mostly blackballed in Hollywood after a series of horrifying anti-Semitic tirades, racist and abusive rants, and seeming admissions of domestic violence, is back"

That’s an insult to Jordan.. Shaymalan is trashHe's getting his M. Night Shaymalan on.
There are still people in Hollywood that wont take meetings with Gibson or socialize with him etc.
How much does it matter ? It doesnt. He is still producing films.
No one can stop you, not even the almighty powerful jews.
That’s an insult to Jordan.. Shaymalan is trash
His first few flicks were solid. So far, JPs got one down, an Oscar, and this one looks promising. JP has to establish a track record still.That’s an insult to Jordan.. Shaymalan is trash
Nah..OMG!!!!!!

If you have money, you can't be stopped from producing films because you can pay people. How about distribution though? How about marketing. You're being very myopic right now. Your argument is that he wasn't completely buried? He's rich. But right now, he can't even get into the front door at major studios..even 13 years after that shit happened and for 5 years, he was practically completely shelved... blackballed completely. We must not even be arguing about the same thing.
and how much does it matter? In the entertainment industry, everything is about being hot at the moment and having the momentum behind you. There's an entire sub-industry build on that principle.
Mel Gibson is no longer A-List. They didn't bury him but they've removed his relevance which is enough to deter others from saying anything crazy in the future.
If Kap got back into the league 2 years from now, would that mean he wasn't blackballed at some point? If you can answer that honestly, we don't have anything else to debate. You're arguing something completely different.
And everyone isn't Mel Gibson. There are plenty of people who have, are, and can be blackballed by the Jews in Hollywood..it's just much harder with a white A-list already worth 9 figures and with decades in the industry.
He cant get in the front door? His film just won Oscars & a couple hundred mill in box office. Oscar is the ultimate award from your peers in the film industry. The one caveat is Gibson is an excellent film maker.
He has many enemies. Ones he has seeked out & created confrontation with, & it hasnt stopped him. Thats the lesson & the options he has in his chosen profession.
Bet 50% or more of whatever your worth on 1 idea of yours. Thats what he did & won. The guy is an asshole. I sat in on a pitch to him at his house in Malibu years ago. He is an unapologetic asshole & of course we all know through recordings a racist asshole.
No doubt everyone is not in Gibsons position when facing being blackballed. He had a extremely strong rep, successful credits & the spoils from that to be more defiant. Dont flex on your opposition when aint ready to fight.
Gibsons chosen profession allows him more options of recourse.
Thats what makes Tyler Perry extremely smart. Moving his operation away from Hollywood.
Cant deny Gibson was ousted from the 1 lead on scripts that float from studio to studio. He stood by his "own" conviction got that project distributed with his own money & proved a point. The old "where there is a will there is a way". At that point of denial & FUTURE CONSEQUENCE. He did it himself.
Kaps options are severely limited in comparison. 32 teams & Canada. He has no do it yourself option. He is an employee in a weak union sport & didnt get support from 90% or more of his co-workers who didnt want to put there rep or salary on the line. Is it the owners or the guy standing next to you ? Or the fans who cant turn off their drug. A lot lip service paid, but sports is like crack in that same temporary escape from reality.
He couldnt put together a team & compete against NFL teams. Or could he ? Possibly. But if you want in, you are not usually thinking of outs.
Kap will get a courage award & apology 20 years from now from the NFL. And that protest dip in viewership has already subsided. Nike strategically(Kap campaign) made it ok after securing its long term deal with the league.
Man I was scared as fuck!!!!!!!Lmao at Shady driving around Chicago taking pics to appear like he live in the city. He asked his sister for a favor. “ Can you drive out to the south side I need to keep this fake thug image up and take some pics
I'm there...looks like a new concept too
(Invasion of the) Body Snatchers
Naw. If I get what he's doing, it's nothing like that.
It's just the vibe that I got from watching the trailer....
The author kinda referenced a similar view about doppleganger flicks in the 9th paragraph.

This film should do CRAZY numbers tho.
I don't know if you're doing this on purpose.
I'm going to ask you again.
If he was not blackballed, how do you account for him not doing any movies for 5 years after his anti-Semitic rant?
You're talking about something from this year... almost 16 fucking years later. You know you can get blackballed and still eventually work your way back in somehow. It doesn't' change the fact that you were indeed blackballed.
Your argument is that Mel Gibson eventually beat out the blackball. That's not what the original argument was. He's super talented and worth 9 figures. He's an exception to the rule.
I'll be honest though...I'm not one of those cats that can watch a trailer like this and catch everything. I have to watch them shits a few times to catch the subtle stuff so basically I'm just yapping
Like i straight missed that shadows/baggage on the beach thing the first 6-7 times i watched that shit
Lets call it whiteballed
I work in the broadcasting industry and I edit visuals as a hobby. So I have a tendency to view things a little differently sometimes...my next paycheck might depend on it.
All dark skin cast…then he goes home to his all white wife.
Amazing
