Ranking the Inevitable Christian Bale/Mel Gibson Rant Mash-Ups
It was only a matter of time before some enterprising* individuals got some Christian Bale in their Mel Gibson -- one big supercollider of alpha-male angst, venom and decibels headed for the ultimate explosion. YouTube Nation has wrought at least six to date, with surely more to come; Movieline, meanwhile, has gathered and judged them like the trailblazing (if predictable) pop artifacts they are. Your mileage may vary; tell me if so. Need I say they're all NSFW?

Had the disadvantage of being first, or pretty close to it. Basically a race to the finish line, with ranty fragments tacked together in no particularly rational order. Flashes of humor are too spaced out, with better, more incendiary Gibson material arriving Monday and Tuesday.

Not especially inspired in terms of editing or continuity, but the dramatic score and the photo selection make up for it. Kind of.

reznorfan has the point-counterpoint between Bale and Gibson down pretty well, yet static photo selection deprives the overall piece from a higher ranking.

Yeah, you're right. The lame intro from "Vanilla" and his BFF makes that an average mash-up (it lacks variety, too).
These have a long way to go before reaching Christian Bale versus Tomlin heights -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwYvHTA4m4Y
I still find the musical remixes more entertaining, though I haven't found any good ones yet. There was one youtube person in particular (who I of course can't remember now) who did a great one for Christian Bale's freakout and also one of Barbara Streisand's class "shut the fuck up!" I hope he gets on the ball and does a proper Mel G remix!
I hope somebody does a MEL GIBSON/ALEC BALDWIN phone chat soon!
Okay. These were good. But here's a spoof that really is creative.

With the US unemployment rate still at 9.3% for May I'm feeling definitly anxious. Also where I live in Connecticut is 8 and a half. I hope The government can reduce this quick enough to get re-elected.
mel gibson is a shocking example of a bad person!!!! how many more times should this guy offend almost every single person he comes into contact with? i shudder to think what the next unfathomable thing to come out of his mouth will be, i simply can't stand the man... so well maybe he made one or two watchable flicks!!! remember that he also made a whole lot more really bad ones!!! end of rant.
