No I didn't get suckered in. I just don't know. I agree with your assessment of Crowe from numerous previous accounts, but up to this moment, the only context I've encountered about Gibson is his Jesus movie, which to be fair, I know only by reputation, I haven't seen it so I hesitate to comment on it. I tend to believe the account of the arrest, and I have no sympathy for the "too much to drink and I was on drugs" excuse. At the very least, he just confessed to a crime far worse than making a public ass of himself: driving while multiply intoxicated.

Having said that, I admire the work of both of these actors very much.
Then again, I think Bob Dylan is the greatest living poet in the English language, in spite of the fact that he is a thoroughly unpleasant and unlikeable individual every time I have seen him interviewed
