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?
*: Unemployed and/or clinically bored

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.

"I know it's not funny.. But I was bored =( " writes SeveredWorld in the production notes, and that much is more than clear. But this rant especially triumphs in its twist ending, a random bit of dissonance that cracked me up as much as anything else I saw or heard in all the rest of these. No Keyboard Cats, no Rickrolls... just grade-A random.

Has superb continuity and is very well put-together, but sadly suffers from the same static visual presence as reznorfan15. At least this one has good pictures.

Minus points for the name and the idiotic intro, but major props for getting the continuity and the photo action just about perfect. Gets especially good at the 1:00 point, capturing the truly batsh*t quality of two psychos at the top of their game. Well done.
