Mel Gibson's "The Road Warrior" could be one of the most important movies

[Catch22Dem]

EVER MADE. This movie shows us what it'll be like when we run out of oil. :evilgrin:

It's on now, and it made me laugh. Love the movie though.

1. Juned turned into Cinemax to watch it

I love DU :)

It's been a long time since I've seen this movie. Love the 80's futurama style costumes!

on edit: And the gay leather scene (dig those guys wearing harnesses!) must have been mined for this movie, too

2. Mel who? Oh...that guy who thinks the Holocaust didn't really happen?

THAT Mel Gibson? I don't watch movies by supremacists.

3. I believe it was his dad who had that idea. (nt)

[TexasSissy]

6. Yes, And when interviewer asked Mel what he thought of his dad's

theory, Mel said, "My father doesn't lie." I saw the interview.

I'm not Jewish. But I refuse to give money or time to anyone who spouts such white supremacist theories. And that IS a white supremacist theory.

9. this is more like I remember it. Mel dodged the question.

which was wise, imho.

===
Asked in media interviews whether he shares his father's views, Mel Gibson has said that he loves his father and will not speak against him.

10. You call Mel's statement in your link "dodging"?????? WTF?

His answer as to whether the Holocaust was fiction was, "It's all — maybe not all fiction — but most of it is." You call that dodging the question? That IS reiterating the white supremacist's view of the Holocaust.

The interview I saw, he said, "My father doesn't lie." It's even worse for Mel to later say that most of the Holocause was fiction.

As I said....that is the official line of the white supremacists.

11. whatever, you win.

4. I don't care what other people call other people

.
.
.

If I like their music, movies, books whatever

it has no bearing on what the author/person is like or may be . .

I like the movies for the movie's sake

the books for the book's sake

and so on . . .

I happen to like Mad Max too!

5. Exactly! I'm supposed to stop watching Bruce Willis movies?

No fucking way!!! I love Bruce Willis movies. Mel Gibson movies too. Besides, I think that was Mel's dad who had the whole warped view of the holocaust.

7. See my post above about Mel agreeing with his dad. n/t

8. "Greetings from the Lord Humungus The Warrior of the Wasteland!"...

"The Ayatollah of Rock and Roller!"

12. The funniest scene is the kid with the steel boomerang...

He throws it and misses his target and some idiot tries to catch it and gets half his hand cut off...cracks me up every time...
