Mel Gibson reportedly had another angry outburst last night, this time on the campus of Cal State Northridge while speaking to a film class about his career. Several members of the Mayan community came to the lecture, including a woman named Alicia Estrada. Estrada is an Assistant Professor of Central American Studies at Northridge and she challenged Gibson regarding the portrayal of Mayan culture in his movie "Apocalypto." TMZ says:
Estrada persisted, stating that representations in the movie that the Mayans engaged in sacrificial ceremonies and had bloodthirsty tendencies were both wrong and racist. Estrada and others tell TMZ that Gibson exploded in anger, responding, "Lady, Fuck off." We're told Gibson also became extremely angry when members of the Mayan community protested on how they were portrayed in the film. The emotional Mayan members were escorted out of the room, and we're told Gibson screamed a parting shot — "Make your own movie!"
Interestingly, Gibson's publicist is basically admitting the incident took place, saying “He needs more anger management training. It's time to be cool."Estradas reaction to this movie is pretty similar to my reaction the last time I saw a movie I didn’t like. Except, instead of ambushing an actor who was trying to do something nice and crying like a bitch, I used my karate to get revenge. Then I made out with a bunch of models in my hot tub. The hot tub in my jet. On second thought, I guess our reactions weren’t very similar. Hers was filled with fagocity, mine was totally boss and cool.
