Culture: Thanks to Jodie Foster, we have Mel Gibson’s beaver shot

  • Mel Gibson’s latest role has been a tad delayed. Why, you ask? Well, he did a lot of pretty stupid things, and now he’s paying the price for them in the press. And so this film, directed by Jodie Foster from a fairly-well-regarded script, may not see the light of day for a while. But that somehow makes the poster for it funnier. Remember the days that Mel knew what women wanted? Yeah. Neither do we. (Thanks The Daily What) source
