Mel Gibson debuts 'The Colonel' on 'Kimmel' (and denies ever saying 'sugar t--')

Tom Cruise wasn’t the only one having fun with Jimmy Kimmel last night. If you caught Mel Gibson’s two-part interview (part 1, embedded after the jump), you saw him deny ever having used the word "sugar tits" (I was as saddened by that as Jimmy was). He also debuted the trailer for his "new film," The Colonel (below). We won’t spoil the surprise, so we’ll discuss if after the jump.

First of all, I think we’re all happy to know that there was a reason for Mel’s devilish facial hair. (I have the sudden urge to see him do a Western with Ian McShane. Seriously, their intensities and mustaches would be a perfect match.) Secondly, the biggest laugh for me was that chicken riding the horse. I don’t think this means that I’m not ready to see a Mel Gibson movie again (I’m sure I’d laugh if Bird on a Wire were to be playing on cable right now). I think it means that this peace-offering publicity stunt could’ve/should’ve been funnier.

Are you ready for a Gibson comeback now?

    The chicken riding the horse was my favorite part too. Just absolutely ridiculous. It was good to see Mel being goofy again.

    It’s like the old Mel I loved in the 80’s and 90’s. Loved the clip, the Sully cameo was great.

    Okay now all you Gibson haters, Lay off the guy! He made a mistake, Most people when they’re drunk do stupid things, The guy’s not typical Hollywood(Which is great) and I’m looking forward to his next movie. Welcome back Mel, missed ya babe.

    Loved the interview on Jimmy Kimmel! Gibson seemed to be at his jocular best which is encouraging to see. ;-)

    Love you Mel. You have great courage. The haters can’t keep a good man down, though they threw their best punch. Kudos to Kimmel for having the courage to have Mel on, having the graciousness to forgive, and not black-listing Mel like the bigoted press has.
    Finally, my foundation is offering a $500,000 reward for anyone who can locate a rare copy of any article about Mel that doesn’t have the slavishly and mindlessly repeated phrase, “anti-semitic rant.”

    Bigot. Hypocrite. Bad husband. Good riddance – I will never watch another Mel Gibson movie. EVER.

    I was a Mel Gibson fan from the time I saw in in “Tim.” Was being the operative word. He is no longer the nice man who helps unload ice cream trucks so he can get his favorite flavor. He’s become a religious fanatic, a womanizer and is showing his anti-sematic leanings, not to mention his contempt for women. I liked him because of who he was. I now can’t stand him because of who he’s become. Mel, I expected better from you.

  • Dory

    I have been a fan of Mel’s since the old Lethal Weapon days and will continue to be…
