Is Anyone Surprised "The Beaver" Sucked?

Mel Gibson is done in the movie business. That's it, put up the Nazi replica boots Mel, you are finished. How do I know this? He actually took the lead role in a movie that co-starred a beaver hand puppet.

From the Huffington Post:
Gibson's first attempt at a big screen comeback, the Jodie Foster-directed indie dramedy "The Beaver," was a resounding bomb at the box office over the weekend, taking in just $104,000 on a limited release on 22 screens, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That gives it a per-screen average of $4,745, which is about $10-15,000 less than its distributor Summit was counting on.

So, why did "The Beaver" bite the dust? Probably a combination of four interconnected reasons. One, its star is currently going through a nasty custody battle involving domestic violence; that, of course, comes on top of Gibson's infamous racist and anti-semitic rants. Needless to say, despite his character in the film being a shaken and fragile individual, audiences don't quite see Gibson that way.

How could this be anything but terrible?

Mel Gibson, who I love in great films like Braveheart, is at an all-time low. Released on 22 screens? I know it was an indie movie but what the fuck. Might as well have done the good old-fashioned straight-to-DVD bullshit. Oh and Jodie Foster directed and co-starred in this shitbag? Well she is way over the fucking hill too. Fucking old actors, don't they ever learn? Check it out on rotten tomatoes.
