Mel Gibson encounter of the 'Mad Max' kind

Geoffrey Schorkopf, a reporter with the Emory Wheel in Atlanta, recounts an interesting encounter with Mel Gibson while interviewing "Choke" director Clark Gregg in the lobby of Boston's Ritz-Carlton.

According to Schorkopf, the Aussie gives a colorful response when asked why he's in Boston.

Gibson's quip: “[I'm] shooting a f--king movie, man.”

The "Choke" director, in the Hub promoting his "sex-addict dark comedy," has a past with the "Edge of Darkness" star. It seems that the duo starred in the 2002 flick "We Were Soldiers."

The Emory University reporter seems to be fixated on his brush with Gibson.

"So this is my first taste of what Boston is like: filled with charismatic indie directors, fancy and aromatic hotels, millions of sexually worked up college kids," Schorkopf continues. "And of course, one workaholic anti-Semite."
