Mel Gibson apparently hasn’t graduated from anger management classes yet. The tempermental director lost his cool when a professor challenged him on the depiction of Mayans in his epic film Apocalypto. The always eloquent Mel resorted to less than scholarly language to end the debate. From TMZ: After Gibson’s presentation, the crowd was allowed to ask questions. Alicia Estrada, an Assistant Professor of Central American Studies at CSUN, challenged Gibson, asking him if he had read about the Mayan culture before shooting the controversial film. Gibson said he had. Estrada persisted, stating that representations in the movie that the Mayans engaged in sacrificial ceremonies and had bloodthirsty tendencies were both wrong and racist. Estrada and others tell TMZ that Gibson exploded in anger, responding, “Lady, F**k off.” We’re told Gibson also became extremely angry when members of the Mayan community protested on how they were portrayed in the film. The emotional Mayan members were escorted out of the room, and we’re told Gibson screamed a parting shot — “Make your own movie!” What no sugar-tits? No attempt to blame the Mayans for all of the wars in the world? Mel must have been sober if all he could come up with was the f-bomb and a playground taunt. Someone give him a bottle of Cuervo before his next school lecture. |
