So she's supposedly just throwing this out there for attention like Brian Pinchot did when he talked about what Tom Cruise said?

Imagine if everyone went around talking about what drunken idiots said over a decade ago...

Mel is a dickhead.

But at the same time, lets not act like people don't like their publicity and Winona is no doubt enjoying the little bit of shine that spills over from Natalie Portman in Black Swan. She could have brought this up at any time. Mel is a dick, but at the same time this just screams "look at me! I've been offended!".

I like Winona too :/

 

[nestea]

Thank you to Winona for now popularizing the term oven dodger.

 

[big ander]

Oh, dont watch Star Trek. Thought Spock was a robot or something?

Not the show, the movie from summer 2009. Spock's a Vulcan I think, the 2009 remake is all I've seen. Just means he's good at logic and stuff.

 

[crimzonflame]

In Winona's defense, it does say in the article that shes been telling this to people for years but no one believed her.

 

[Trent Strong]

Thank you to Winona for now popularizing the term oven dodger.

It's over-dodger.

Okay, you may think you're being clever, but stop. It's a bit insulting. Not everyone who went or goes to public school in the US is an idiot as you're implying. Nor is going to US public school a prerequisite to being an ignorant fool.

I went to public schools in the US...

That is exactly what a guy who went to public school would say.

 

[Foob]

He is like a old dude who hates everything and is racist yet he has some awesome in him cause of the shit he did. Lethal Weapon, Braveheart and other badass movies.

you know those movies aren't actually about mel gibson right?

 

[StuBurns]

She didn't get the joke? She's an idiot. Gibson is real twat though.

 

[antonz]

you know those movies aren't actually about mel gibson right?

Mad Max certainly is.

After having his wife and kid murdered like that you would hate everyone too

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Spock's mom in Star Trek 2009.

Elastigirl.

 

[Verano]

I went to public schools in the US...

where's clydefrogs avatar "GO USA" when you need it?

 

[Discotheque]

What is it with Winona Ryder and playing old people with bad makeup?

That shitty scene in Star Trek gave me flashback-chills of the aged Winona Ryder in Scissorhands.

 

[Aselith]

Damn, Mel's been doing this Andy Kaufman shit for over 15 years? That's commitment. He really one upped Andy's ass this time around.

 

[Poimandres]

Oven bait

 

[MetalAlien]

Winona looks old.

After the trial I'm guessing drugs. She went from hot to that almost overnight.

This is how I feel, and not only that, I feel the story is suspect. Apparently Winona didn't even know what the term meant yet she remembers the whole incident from 15 years ago from some house party.

With that being said, Mel is a loony bin.

 

[Buckethead]

How convenient she remembers now.

 

[sixteen-bit]

That's fucked up

 

[Stabby McSter]

GAF is just a bunch of over-dodgers.

 

[RBH]

That is exactly what a guy who went to public school would say.

[Phantast2k]

What a piece of shit.

 

[Buckethead]

Elastigirl.

Huh?? Elastigirl is Holly Hunter?

I also went to public school. shyamalan.jpeg

 

[Discotheque]

I think he meant her stretchy face.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Winona is Jewish too?

Can I have a list of all the Jewish actors and actresses in Hollywood? (I know a list must exist)

and what the fuck is "Over Dodger" supposed to mean? Sounds so corny. :lol

 

[Zzoram]

Winona is still hot and Mel Gibson is still racist, nothing new here.

Winona is Jewish too?

Can I have a list of all the Jewish actors and actresses in Hollywood? (I know a list must exist)

and what the fuck is "Over Dodger" supposed to mean? Sounds so corny. :lol

I assume it refers to escaping the Nazi furnaces.

 

[Medalion]

Some people want you in an oven, but not because yer a jew Winona

 

[Buckethead]

Oh gotcha. That makes sense.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

So why are we still forgiving Mel's obvious hate for all things non-white/straight/male/Catholic?

Holding out hope that his Viking movie will be great? He's a hair's breath away from being blacklisted by Hollywood talent.

 

[gblues]

Elastigirl.

That's Holly Hunter, not Wynona Ryder.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I was thinking the same thing until I realized it's OVEN dodger, not over-dodger. :lol. Needless to say google didn't yield too many results on that one.

Yeah I was reading on my phone and I read it as over-dodger.

Oven dodger... yeah... now that sounds familiar.

It's over-dodger.

Hey!

 

[Archer]

Some people want you in an oven, but not because yer a jew Winona

a dutch oven.

 

[spindashing]

Mel is a complete shit head, but I do enjoy and always will enjoy some of his movies. Lethal Weapon. Classics. I wonder how Danny Glover worked with him -- I'm sure his racist tendencies came up once in awhile.

But yeah, people noting that she's doing it as a publicity stunt? I feel the same way, even if it happened.

 

[crazy monkey]

she did not remember this for 15 years? She did not tell anyone? She just understood the meaning of what he said?

Winona is Jewish too?

She's, uh, not the brightest snowflake on the driveway

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

That's Holly Hunter, not Wynona Ryder.

I always get the two of them mixed up for fuck knows what reason.

 

[crazy monkey]

She's, uh, not the brightest snowflake on the driveway

seems very odd story. Not defending mel but the story just seems so made up.

 

[LegendofJoe]

Mel Gibson is a douche, but he's a master at his craft so I give him a pass.

 

[Cyan]

Mel Gibson is a douche, but he's a master at his craft so I give himma pass.

Exactly. And it's not like it's anti-Semitism anti-Semitism.

 

[lightless_shado]

Oh, dont watch Star Trek. Thought Spock was a robot or something?

He might as well be

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jewish_actors

Mind blown @ number of actors that are jewish

 

[EricHasNoPull]

maybe he was just being sexist just like most male Hollywood celebrities were back in the nineties...

Gosh! I hate when shoplifters blow shit out of proportion just to remove some bad press off their shoulders!!!

Actual transcript of that conversation back in October 12 of 1995

-Winona Ryder-
"Hi Mel, I am Winona Ryder, I am going to be casted in this new psychological drama called "Girl Interrupted" co-starring with another up and coming actress named Angelina Jolie."

-Mel Gibson-

"Oh so you're an actor huh!, shouldn't you be in the kitchen cooking instead? you oven -dodger!....ha! sorry I am a little drunk!"


-Winona Ryder-
"hahahaha!...Ayyyeee don't get it!"

 

[Dreams-Visions]

I assume it refers to escaping the Nazi furnaces.

oh fucking christ. who comes up with this shit and why.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jewish_actors

damn. runnin shit.

 

[ZZMitch]

Shes prolly making it up

 

[Jamesfrom818]

No idea she was jewish. Mel is awesome but crazy.

.

 

[Terrell]

I wonder why he hates Jews and gays so much? What did they ever do to him?

I'm gonna take a guess and say... sodomized him with a kosher sausage?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Mind blown @ number of actors that are jewish

it's fair to expect when you own 2/3 the shit. :lol

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Winona Ryder is Jewish!? :O

 

[lightless_shado]

it's fair to expect when you own 2/3 the shit. :lol

Hold on, am I to believe that Jews control the media?

Spoiler

preposterous!

Mel Gibson should do his next movie with a jew who is a gay. His Love interest should be a black woman.

 

[CJUNDERGROUND]

Zac Efron and Daniel Radcliffe are Jews??? Mind blown.
