55 of 55 · most liked firstIt's crazy how much this sounds like something Mel Gibson would say during one of his breathless uninterrupted rants in the movie Conspiracy Theory, except this is all documented and verified. Still nothing happens

positive · AI labelView post →Just think of the priceless pieces of film memorabilia that we've lost: -authentic Australian outback piss jar from Mad Max -an empty hair spray can from each of the first three Lethal Weapon movies -antisemitic decoder ring from Conspiracy Theory -spare merkins (used) from Braveheart
neutral · AI labelView post →I always thought Mel Gibson's performance in the movie "Conspiracy Theory" was one of his best, and then I found out why ... He wasn't acting.

neutral · AI labelView post →I am watching a YouTube vid about the 1997 film 'Conspiracy Theory' in which Mel Gibson plays a conspiracy theorist who is proved right. A lot of the comments are like "the role Mel was born to play" and YouTube's new AI categories system has categorised them as "Gibson shines in quirky comedy"

neutral · AI labelView post →Sir Patrick Stewart is a legend. Star Trek, Dune, X-Men... My favorite works of his? He voiced Professor X in the first X-Men Legends game. LOVED it. And playing the villain in the Mel Gibson movie Conspiracy Theory.
neutral · AI labelView post →Conspiracy Theory really offended me, lol. It’s one of my favorite reviews I’ve written, and it was published by @gabyfilmmaker.bsky.social on @medium.com publication Cinemania: medium.com/cinemania/co... DREADFUL #film. It’s on my 1.0 Films Reel on #ReelRank 😤 #FilmSky 🎥
negative · AI labelView post →My short film "Conspiracy Theory" will be screened at the Prøve Collective's 5 Minute Film Fest.
neutral · AI labelView post →And as wonderful as Patrick Stewart was in a role like Captian Picard, he was equally great playing villains. The movie Conspiracy Theory is what it is, but Patrick Stewart's calm and calcluated turn as the villain in that is fantastic.
neutral · AI labelView post →True Lies and Conspiracy Theory were two of the R rated movies allowed when I was a kid. Along with Die Hard but that was a Christmas movie so that's why it was allowed
neutral · AI labelView post →Also: "It's just a movie, that's not real!" - Is a Narrative Control Co-opted Psyop phrase, just like "Conspiracy Theory," & "Tinfoil Hat."
neutral · AI labelView post →Not a terrific movie, but the frequency with which I think about Stewart’s delivery of “gravy for the brain” from CONSPIRACY THEORY is a testament to his ability to elevate material
neutral · AI labelView post →It's a shame that it's marred by the fact that Mel Gibson is a raging bigot who hasn't died yet, but I still have a pretty fond memory of the movie CONSPIRACY THEORY in my head. Absolute nutjob conspiracist (Mel's specialty) happens to guess right and gets hunted by PatStew for his trouble.
positive · AI labelView post →I remember seeing the extremely mid film Conspiracy Theory in a theater. Patrick Stewart as the villain was pretty much all that saw me through to the end. (Also I didn't know he was in it beforehand, so it was a huge shock to my teenaged nerd self.)

positive · AI labelView post →Ever since I went to the 1997 movie "Conspiracy Theory" where this photo implies Julia Roberts strangles Mel Gibson (instead they have a uggh....romance) I have sworn off all conspiracy theories. Good article though 😎
negative · AI labelView post →It’s definitely an #antifeminist film 😤 So is Conspiracy Theory (1997). It’s a whole genre of bad movie. medium.com/cinemania/co...
negative · AI labelView post →#ConspiracyTheory - minimalism got popular because visual artists and, later, filmmakers, were too lazy to render realistic living spaces. #art #movies #adhd
neutral · AI labelView post →The asshole who made some good movies is still an asshole. Ironically, my favorite movie of his is Conspiracy Theory.
positive · AI labelView post →When he did Conspiracy Theory, I think he crossed a rubicon. He was always out there, but doing that movie broke his brain. Or, he did that movie because his brain was broken. And yeah, he’s also an asshole. You can be crazy and nice and people just call you quirky. Crazy and an asshole? Step back.
neutral · AI labelView post →Had this one on my short list of late as it's a Rutger Hauer film that I've somehow not seen even though he discussed it at some length in his autobiography. What's weird to me is that it's a Richard Donner film. I just got done takin' a big poo on Conspiracy Theory (1997) so that's timely.
negative · AI labelView post →We find it ironic that Mel Gibson was in the film "Conspiracy Theory" and we suppose the lesson he learned was spout enough conspiracies and one could be real! We do admit we liked the film and his performance. Plus Julia Roberts! And Captain Picard being evil !

positive · AI labelView post →Conspiracy Theory is not the first movie about a shadowy organization based out of NYC that I have watched in my #1997movie journey, though Men In Black has a pretty different tone.

neutral · AI labelView post →Conspiracy Theory is on and I did not remember how messed up this film is. I feel like this would be an excellent HDTGM if they haven’t done it yet.
positive · AI labelView post →There's a 1997 film called "Conspiracy Theory" which is just a batshit crazy Mel Gibson going around shouting at everyone about random bullshit Conspiracy theories. So it's basically just a documentary.
positive · AI labelView post →Just finished watching my all-time favorite Mel Gibson movie, “Conspiracy Theory.” Despite his usual wise-cracking action persona, he perfectly threads the needle between all-out bonkers and sweetly vulnerable and broken. #movies #conspiracy #melgibson #film #CIA www.imdb.com/title/tt0118...
positive · AI labelView post →Great cast, great acting, and its funny in a clever way. My main criticism is that the plot quickly devolves into a generic 90s action movie with car chases and stuff...Its ok popcorn cinema, but nothing memorable. They could have made more out of the conspiracy angle...
positive · AI labelView post →Well... this was fun. I don't think you can say anything better about a movie. Conspiracy Theory was fun. You sit down and watch it, and you are going to have a fun time, you are going to be entertained. It's a great blend of moderate action and comedic suspense. The plot twists are deep enough to be interesting and light enough to be entertaining in the darker aspects of comedy. The characters, well, the characters are the very definition of the phrase, "he's a real character isn't he?" Mel…
positive · AI labelView post →Overly long but amiable suspense-thriller thanks to the charms of Mel Gibson (re-teaming with Lethal Weapon franchise director Richard Donner) and Julia Roberts with Patrick Stewart making for an okay villain. This is one I've seen a couple times and each viewing has pretty much been the same: entertaining but also unremarkable. 3.0/5
