Don't know, don't really care. His private phone calls never should have been made public though. And while what he said was off base (WAY off base) what his ex-girlfriend did-- releasing the tapes to the media was just as bad if not worse.
Didn't something similar happen with Alec Baldwin a few years back? An answering machine message to one of his daughters in which he was rather verbally abusive was released to the media. His career seems to have recovered (thanks largely to the short attention span of the American people).
If Mel keeps a low profile and flies under the radar for awhile chances are his career will recover. But in the mean time he's Hollywood kryptonite. No studio will touch him!
Since this is a music board and to get this back in the realm of music-- what do you think of the scores to his films like
Braveheart,
The Patriot and
Apocalypto?
