Thanks to Darla for sharing this awesome video she created to show support for Mel’s amazing talent. Enjoy!

Like a lot of people, I really want Edge of Darkness to be this year’s Taken. Not just because Taken was badass, and who wouldn’t want more of that, but also because it’s about time Mel Gibson stopped pissing off Hebrews and got back to kicking ass. But despite the movie’s amped up, Taken-like trailers, I’m starting to get the vibe that this isn’t the movie we’re getting at all. If you’re hoping to see a Mel Gibson return to the screen with a head butt, you may be out of luck.

Take these seven clips from Edge of Darkness. In them you’ll see Gibson engage in a lot of very stern talking, but you won’t see an action sequence or gunfire, or even a half-hearted punch to the head. From the looks of things, modern Mel Gibson’s version of revenge mostly involves procedural politics not psychotic father revenge. A more cerebral approach could be fun, but is it the kind of fun we want? Take a look: …

Thanks to Trevor, here’s a parody of The Man Without A Face. Good time to lighten things up around here!

Tonight at MM has been … an experience.

Some good news! For the past few days, I’ve been trying to install a YouTube-like section to the site: GibboTV. Has a nice ring to it, eh? Once it’s up, we all can watch videos of Mel all day long when we’re suppose to be working or doing homework!

At the moment, my server is having trouble with the requirements to support the section. But hopefully, it’ll be up soon!

If you have any videos or links to any that can be added to the section, feel free to email them to me! You’ll get credit, of course.

Sorry I’ve been slow with the updates — been feeling a little off lately. Here’s the response to Mel and Jimmy Kimmel’s spoof of Colonel Sanders!

For those of you who missed it, Jimmy Kimmel Live! on YouTube uploaded the interview in two parts. Check out the videos below!

Mel attended the Global Green Awards recently. On YouTube, there’s a video of him presenting an award for eco-friendly rubber, however, it’s set “private”. I will try to find the video shortly to share!

We all know Mel Gibson is a movie star, but the guy’s stage presence is pretty crappy when it comes to speeches. Even a teleprompter can’t save him from reading his way through this award presentation during Global Green’s 2008 Sustainable Design Awards. The 53-year-old actor was on hand to give the 2008 Product Industrial Design Award to Green Rubber, Inc. — which is developing a non-toxic and recyclable rubber. Gibson is a primary investor in the venture (as is Bruce Willis).

For those of you who haven’t seen it, check out the video below! Hopefully I can start the media section soon! Thank goodness for no classes.

It’s about time, eh?

The site has a brand spankin’ new layout (you like?) and tons of new content under Mel and Projects!

I’m working on gathering some videos and open up a media archive very soon, so if you have any submissions, feel free to let me know. It would be greatly appreciated!

It has been a long time since a Mel Gibson Mad Max movie came out (1985), but it looks like the spiritual fourth installment in the series will be a game. In a recent interview with Newsweek magazine, George Miller confirmed that a Mad Max game was in the works. The story of the game looks like it’ll use some of the details that were to make it into the planned fourth Mad Max movie, Mad Max: Fury. Mad Max 4 came close to being made, but due to problems — partly caused by the Iraq war — George Miller went and made the penguin movie Happy Feet, instead.

If you somehow missed watching a Mad Max film on late night television one night, they are pretty easy to describe: the first film, Mad Max, starred a very young Mel Gibson as a cop in a post-apocalyptic Australian outback. Post-nuclear war films and books were popular in the ’80s, but this one of the most influential. The film was made for about $300,000 and grossed over $100 million; single-handedly bringing much more exposure for Australian films in the world-wide market. Not to mention launching Mel Gibson’s career.

Not many firm details are given in the interview about the game itself (even whether it’ll be a console game or PC game or what genre), but George Miller expresses his designs expectations for the game. Besides the game having “melee weapons, projectile weapons and vehicles … present” Miller seems genuinely interested in the creative freedom that games involve, and will have a hands-on role in developing the plot and narrative of the game. “Games are a way more nascent medium than cinema,” he said. “We’re watching games evolve as we speak, very dramatically. The balance is going to tip the other way. I go back to the notion of immersion of the audience. Games, being highly interactive, are very immersive with the audience, but there needs to be some experience that the player takes from that. And it’s a very fertile medium to work in if you’re looking towards how you can inform a character.”

Though Miller’s Mad Max 4 got stuck in a mini-production hell back around 2003, he still intends to make the movie. Ideally (he revealed in the interview), he’d like the game to come out as the same time as the movie. But his focus, for now, is on the game: “In other words, I’m delaying the movie in order to do a really good game,” he said. God of War II director Cory Balrog also signed up for the project.

While many movie-themed games are pulled off in a half-baked way, it looks like Miller is committed to making Mad Max 4 a success in the eyes of both fans of the film series, and gamers. “I would like to think that the game people and the film people will affect each other,” he said.
