So, who is the dude?
|3.6.07 @ 7:37PM|#
We're talking about the dude in the net, right?
...who looks kinda like the same guy in the frame after the screaming monkey. ...who looks like he might be Mel?
|3.6.07 @ 7:38PM|#
Wow, that is hilarious. Dude has a weird sense of humor.
Ken--no, not the dude in the net.
Stephen Macklin|3.6.07 @ 7:50PM|#
So either this was known and publicized or some pathetic soul scrolled through the thing frame by frame. Yawn.

Money Shot, for the lazy...
|3.6.07 @ 8:03PM|#
Thanks, kaligula.
|3.6.07 @ 8:05PM|#
Or somebody paused it at the exactly right moment.
|3.6.07 @ 8:10PM|#
Never thought I would be thanking someone calling himself "Kaligula" for giving me the money shot.

This has been floating around the Internet since the day after the trailer came out, I'm thinking four or five months ago...
D.A. Ridgely|3.6.07 @ 8:12PM|#
Damn! I misread that as "monkey shot"!
|3.6.07 @ 8:20PM|#
I for one never saw it, and damned near pissed myself when I hit the "money frame." Thanks, Radley.

BTW, thanks to my almost never-used "prt scr" key and Microsoft Paint, that is my new desktop wallpaper.

dude - this is, like, almost a year old...
|3.6.07 @ 8:52PM|#
I've never seen that before either...but that is fucking hilarious!!
So either this was known and publicized or some pathetic soul scrolled through the thing frame by frame.
Or an editor with a great sense of humor...that's what I choose to believe:)

Priceless comment!

I think I've seen the still before, but I had no idea it was in the trailer.

Mel Gibson is a bigoted, paranoid, right-wing religious zealot...
But he's got a great sense of humor, I'll give him that!
|3.6.07 @ 10:16PM|#
Even more evidence that Mel Gibson is completely off his rocker.
Not that I really have a problem with that...I'm a big fan of Mel just for being the Road Warrior, and his maverick kookiness is kinda cool. I just wish he was still a coke-snortin', hard drinkin', womanisin' kook instead of a religious kook.

What she asked of me at the end of the day
Well, Caligula would have blushed

Have to echo my two fellow Chicagolandians on that. Thanks, Kal :)
May Bacchus deliver many a fun event!

"Money Shot, for the lazy..."
...which would me me. Thanx, Your Imperial Licentiousness.
Does this mean Mel thinks he's Hitchcock?
|3.7.07 @ 8:48PM|#
...which would make more sense as "would BE me"
