    The Beaver





    http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#2Clkj4...s-the-beaver//

    No, this is not a joke. Mel Gibson isn't filming another "The Colonel" prank. This is an actual, real movie being shot where Mel Gibson stars as a man who runs around (both literally and figuratively) with a beaver puppet on his hand that he treats like a live animal and his friend. Kind of like Lars and the Real Girl except with a beaver puppet instead of a sex doll. It's called The Beaver and it's being directed by Jodie Foster as well. These photos come from Splash News where they got a few shots of Gibson shooting on set in New York.

    The Beaver is about Walter (Mel Gibson), troubled father and husband and CEO of a stalling toy company [who gives voice to] The Beaver, a glove pupper that Walter finds, starts to wear without pause, and adopts as a kind of avatar through which he carries out all of his communication. Almost all of the dialogue given to the lead actor throughout the entire screenplay will have to come from the Beaver, and be delivered in what screenwriter Kyle Killen describes as a "crisp English accent." I didn't even realize this was already shooting, so expect to see it next year. Summit Entertainment will be bringing this film to theaters sometime in 2010.
    This film just shot up on my most anticipated list of 2010.
    Sure why not?

    STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI (Rian Johnson) - 9
    STRONGER (David Gordon Green) - 6
    THE DISASTER ARTIST (James Franco) - 7
    THE FLORIDA PROJECT (Sean Baker) - 9
    LADY BIRD (Greta Gerwig) - 8

    It is acceptable. Very acceptable.
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    The inclusion of Jodie Foster as director has my interest at nearly nil.

    Had me scared there for a second. No, horrified. I thought they were gonna try and make a movie version of Leave it to Beaver. This is much less revolting.

    yeah...although aside from Foster bit, this movie looks solid comedy.

    There's word that this is going straight to DVD now that Mel flipped his lid. Would any of you still pay to see this?

    No, I would not see this. I hate Mel Gibson and the world would be a better place if he wasn't in it.

    I feel that way about a lot of washed-up celebrities. They're mostly worthless people that spread far more bad then good for society, so isn't it only logical to feel the world would be a better place if they didn't exist?

    Are you speaking as if he never should have existed in the first place or shouldn't exist today?

    Since you tend to hear things how you'd like to sometimes, maybe that's best. Although I wasn't really starting an argument or debate, just answering the question.
