Be Safe!

I Finally Gave In

Alright, I updated to the newer version of blog.spot. I didn't want too, I had nightmares about losing all of my post. I've put my heart and soul into this thing. I know it's not perfect, or fancy like some of the other sites, but I'm learning. I think I need to go take something for my headach now, that was stressful.

Just So You Know

The highest-grossing foreign-language movie of 2006 in the U.S. is Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto

People just look for things to complain about

Native American activists doubt Rudy Youngblood's descent.

Why is this even an issue?

********************************************Just an update on the woman who is looking for a meal ticket, oh sorry her daddy it seems that despite denying their claims were a cash-grab at Gibson's movie millions, Confidential confirm Sloane, a divorced mother of one, and her mother, Marilyn, have been paid more than $20,000 for the tawdry tale.

Sloane's ex-husband, Glenn, who has custody of their son Jordan, 10, and lives in Parkes, is angry their child was linked to the story without warning.
"I was so upset and shocked. People were ringing me about the story and I wasn't prepared to protect my son,'' he said.
When asked if he had spoken to his ex about the claims since the story broke, he said: "She's denying the whole thing.''
He added the paternity claims were "mentioned during our relationship, but I always thought it was a croc.''
Confidential understands the two women pocketed $3000 from New Idea after the magazine decided to "kill off'' the story two months ago.
"Our fact-checking process raised credibility concerns and so we decided against running the story,'' editor Robyn Foyster said yesterday.
New Idea's former news editor, Sandra White recently left the magazine and then shopped the story and photos overseas. http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,20957928-5006002,00.html

not bad for a movie that everyone had given up on, except us devoted fans!

Push him back down when he's trying to get back up why don't you?

I try really hard to stay away from stories that get me pissed off. Technically I started this blog because I wanted a place to vent about Mels unfair treatment by the media during his DUI arrest in July.

I decided to changed, why contribute to the negativity, write good things about Mel. This story, well it got my blood boiling bright and early on a Sunday morning. Without giving you any links to the unworthy news story, a 29 year old woman is claiming that Mel is her father. She doesn't want his money, she claims, all that she wants is for him to acknowledge her as his daughter.

Just how stupid does she think we are? Not about the money, come on now at least be honest about it. Apparently neither the woman nor her mother thought of looking for Mel until now. It's not like she didn't know where he was, I mean Hell, even I know he doesn't really hide, you just have to know where to look. By the way the woman and her mother both live or lived in Australia. Aparently they didn't think to look for him there.

So this is what I think, Who cares! You're 29 years old with a child of your own, if he hasn't been your daddy all this time don't think if you are his daughter that your coming over for Christmas dinner because I'm pretty sure it won't happen.

He's a good guy, a decent guy, who if your proven to be his daughter will more than likely make sure your don't go without. I don't know if I'm upset at her for bringing this up now or the media. He's human, and I'm sure he's been around the block a few times and enjoyed every minute of it, but that is called living life.

I'm not crazy but this feels like a conspiracy sometimes by the media. It all goes back to The Passion, that's really when most of the negative press began. He's had some negative press over the years but with The Passion it went to another level.

He gets in trouble and six months later some people won't let it go. His movie hits number 1 when everyone said it wouldn't and the next thing you know some 29 year old woman wants her daddy. They keep digging and digging, it's not fair. He has a family, a wife, kids, stories like this are not just hurtful to him, but to them as well. Leave the man alone already. If this woman really believed that Mel Gibson was her father she could of went about it in a different way with no media attention what so ever.

Everything happens for a reason, even the bad things in life. Through our faith we will eventually be able to know what those reason's are.

I am forever a devoted Mel Gibson Fan!

Now Everybody wants a piece of Apocalypto

Mexican director Juan Catlett has claimed Mel's production manager requested a copy of his 1989 film, Return To Aztlan. It told the story of an ancient empire in Mexico collapsing because of a drought.
Juan said: "There are images very similar to those in my film. It seems my movie served as a consultancy and a reference - and they only paid me 100 pesos."
Isn't it funny how when a movie makes money everybody wants a cut of the pie? A week ago only us Devoted Fans and Mel would of believed that http://apocalypto.movies.go.com/ would be the #1 movie in America. Stay strong Mel, everything works itself out in the end.
