zack is the biggest star of a Rated R movie franchise thats bought in a billion dollars so far. Mel can't bring in anything close to that right now. Hollywood has always been about what have you done for me lately:manny:

Dont try to act like Galafinakis is solely responsible for the success of that like Mel was with Passion and Apocalypto. Thats some ol fix the numbers shyt you trying to pull. You ought to be ashamed of yourself for that shyt. And let's be honest here Galafinakis alone aint pulling shyt by himself in a lead role. Hell he hasn't even topped 100 million yet with Will Farrell's help.
I dont give a fukk what Hollywood says Mel's contribution and career embarrasses Gal's.

At first glance, Ryan Reynolds seems to be an exceptional case, but Im not sure if his movies actually make money

Van Wilder cost $5 million to make and brought in $38 million
Blade Trinity $65m to $128m
Defiantly, Maybe $7m to $55m
Buried $2m to $19m
his movies make profits some of them good but most aren't run away successes but they make money

kinda depends on what you consider to be "his movies" tho. And yea, that can get subjective depending.

For ex, most would agree that blade trinity, at the time at least, was considered more so as a snipes movie, given his role as the title character and main focus in the previous two films.

More so, Blade 2, had a 54 million dollar budget and brought in 150 million world wide, so compared to the 65m/128m with Reynolds involved... and then the 44m/131m that was Blade 1... and i wouldn't say that Trinity speaks at all to Reynolds drawing power, no more so than megan fox with the transformer movies

and don't try to act like Mel is still a draw in Hollywood with his racist drunk rants readily available to listen to on youtube. Hate Zach all you want, but no way Hangover 1 & 2 make a billion dollars without him, so who were the producers going to choose, Zack or Mel:comeon:

But Mel was more vital to his success than Galifinakis is my point. He writes and directs and I bet he gets more of a piece of the cut than Gal has ever made. Let's not act like he even getting an 8th of the money those movies have grossed unlike Mel. They better keep making those Hangover sequels b/c after that no one will remember him. He'll be another trivia question or VH1 remember 2009 fat guy category thats forgotten about in a few years. I'll bet that anyday and like I said earlier I dont care about the racist shyt with Mel Gibson. I've come to accept everyone is a little racist the shyt just gets exposed to the public and people freak the fukk out for posture and act like they dont say some fukked up shyt when they at the house too. Hypocrite fukks. Mel gave a nikka the Road Warrior movies, Lethal Weapon movies, Passion, Braveheart, and Apocalypto (and a bunch of shyt I leaving out) hell thats all I ask. fukk the scary ass producers too. If Mel and Gal had movies coming out at the same time and someone had the balls to back Mel I guarantee he'd gross more money for the controversy alone.

Matthew Mcconaughey :leostare:

How big was his role in the film? The film was based on Tatum's life and he was the star of the film.


I really dont give a shyt what Mel said hell most of the non Jewish CAC probably feel the same way. I have nothing against Jews but this p*ssy version of Hollywood pisses me off. Everybody so quick to get offended nowadays (cant say shyt about gays, cant see shyt about people with Lou Gehrig's disease, cant say shyt about retard people).

:beli:

Phone calls to his wife

You're an embarrassment to me. You look like a fukking bytch in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of ******s, it will be your fault

I need a woman, not a fukking little girl with a fukking dysfunctional c*nt. I need a fukking woman. I don't need medication. You need a fukking bat to the side of the head. All right? How about that? You need a fukking doctor. You need a fukking brain transplant. You need a fukking … you need a fukking soul.


OG: Because I'm saving my life and my daughter's life. That's what I'm doing. I don't give a damn about my music. And I don't give a damn about you spending another penny. I'm saving her life. You almost killed us, did you forget?

MG: The last three years have been a fukking gravy train for you.

OG: You were hitting a woman with a child in her hands. You! What kind of a man is that, hitting a woman when she's holding a child in her hands? Breaking her teeth, twice, in the face. What kind of man is that?

MG: Oooh, you're all angry now! You know what, you fukking deserved it.

MG: I'm threatening you? I'll put you in a fukking rose garden, you c*nt. You understand that? Because I'm capable of it. You understand that? Get a fukking restraining order. For what? What are you gonna get a restraining order for? For me being drunk and disorderly? For hitting you? For what?

Like I said, he had the anti-semitic thing, but this shyt makes it damn near impossible for him to get back up. Zach wasn't pissed about the anti-semitic thing, he was pissed about Mel beating his wife.

So you're saying they should've picked Mel, who was gonna play the bit role of the tattoo artist over the star of the movie? :beli:

Ehh....People are idiots and will get over it in a minute as soon as he makes a hit. Now if he was black they would bury that nikka's career deeper than Hoffa.

Would I be wrong to say that Michael Jai White is the black version of Scott Atkins? Both of them dudes don't get enough shine if you ask me.

Everybody was down with it except for Gal. He was the only one tripping about it. You know how Hollywood is though they not gonna risk one of the main cast members dropping out and being unhappy on the set b/c of a cameo by a character they can cut completely so of course they were gonna side with Gal. Me being an a$$hole I would've done it anyway just to make the movie more controversial b/c truth be told the last movie sucked and was a disappointment.

of course Mel has history on his side but he can't even promote a movie right now. He's had 2 movies come out in the last year and they both bombed, you know why, because he can't promote them and until he explains what the hell has been going on for the last few years, so the world can forgive him. hollywood is going to forget about him because he too toxic right now. He hasn't even gone to a "fake" rehab to give him cover...
