"They're not thinking about the real issue here: alcoholism. Nobody is talking about his alcoholism."

Exactly. More people are concerned about what he may or may not have said. It doesn't matter how rich or famous you are, alcoholism will take you to places you never imagined you would go - suicide is an easy option for many practicing alcoholics. My prayers to Mel and his family.

You're obviously the exception, but many here--myself included--never hold back when the subject is Patches Kennedy or his father, so I don't think anyone is safe from this kind of talk.

Actually I'm more interested in how this will affect his upcoming movie. I don't care about the personal lives of directors, I care about their craft.
