Floods of skeletons pouring out of Hollywood's closet

I am loving this "L.A. Meltdown" as it were. Heh.

And with Kevin's nazi dad we get even closer to a Hollywood Holocaust.

Those alien bastards are truly going to pay for shooting up my ride molesting people.

This is a pretty crazy situation. I've read on "work secrets" threads on message boards decades ago some posts from people who have worked on movie sets. They talk about how Hollywood is and always has been a slimy business. Just about every female actress you know blew a few dudes here and there to get to where they are now. No question. It's practically hopeless to become a celebrity on your own merit. When you're surrounded by so much filth it's difficult to question it. It's just how the business operates.

Christina P. is a comedian and she has a pretty funny joke related to this. "Who's dick to I have to suck to get a big break around here? Seriously, show me the dick. I'm tired of this I just want to be famous, already!"

It's pretty awful that this is the case, but a lot of people move to Los Angeles because they don't fit in the community they were born in. Some of these people are just outcasts or had really fucked up childhoods. And it's tough living on the west coast. The climate is beautiful year round, everything is more expensive, there's so much more to do. It's a whole culture over there that is riddled with attention-deprived desparation and many people will willingly do dehumanizing things for a minute so they can secure a fruitful future. The crazy part is that most of the famous people you see on TV are comfortable with this. It's part of the agreement!

This is what's really crazy, try putting yourself in Harvey Weinstein's shoes for a few years. This man is surrounded by yes-men, because everyone who works with him wants to be in his position some day. Even the low level workers keep their mouths shut because they don't have a loud enough voice to stop this, and the people they work with either also want to be Harvey Weinstein some day or have just given up hope that things aren't going to change. Harvey Weinstein gets texts and calls and emails every day from women who want to blow him. These women heard through other show business workers that that is what you've gotta do if you want to be famous. And if you're gonna do it, you gotta do it good.

I'm not pardoning him, but if you're Harvey Weinstein and you're rich, and your famous, and everyone is dishonest with you all the time because they want positions of power that you can grant them, and this has been going on for 30+ years, then your head is going to be fucked. You're on a different planet. You're not a normal person anymore. There's no one that will talk sense into you. Your life is full of bliss and comfort and everyone you know wants what you have. This train is going full speed and you can't turn it around. You just have to own this reputation. The power is severely addictive and it's not easy to be humble. I think people underestimate how difficult it must be to be humble for that long while living the kind of reality he lives in.

Only today, people are now placing the business practices or regular corporate office politics on the entertainment industry. This is particularly worrying because the definition of rape and harrassment has been fluctuating so much that the courts will be full for a very long time.

Its interesting to think what might happen. We might see a rise in low budget films, but also a decline on total films released in a year. We might also see fewer young actresses and pop music stars. Entertainment might not be a very highly valued profession anymore. This kinda movement might change Tv, movies, and music forever, and in a way we can't know is going to be better or worse.

*it's in Japanese, but the other girl phones in to tell her she has a good villain laugh.

This has been me watching Hollywood become more and more spastic throughout Trump's presidency.. to say that guy's been an ill omen to them would be an understatement.

^I'm not even mad. That's fucking impressive.

Yeah, after reading it I recant my statement. That's fucking weird.

I'm not sure if you're asking this question in good faith, but I'll answer it as if you were. There's too many instances for me to recount each, but a few standouts would be them shouting on stage about how Trump supporters are Nazis and about how you should "punch Nazis in the face" (see how dangerous this logic is? I declare you a Nazi and then punch you because you're a Nazi and I hate Nazis!), almost every single actor sperging on Twitter about Trump atleast once a day and retweeting eachother in some giant circle jerk, waking up at 5 AM to try be the first to comment on a Donald Trump tweet, the stupid videos they post on Youtube where 7 or so hollywood celebrities would each finish eachothers sentences on how you must resist Donald Trump (my favorite was when they were condescendingly telling the Republican delegates that it was their moral obligation to defect from him, using buzzwords that they normally demonize, such as "patriotism").. inviting Donald Trump to what would have essentially have been a whole night of roasting him and cracking jokes at his expense; he realized this would happen in advance and instead held a rally elsewhere; so upperclass elitists were roasting someone that wasn't there, while Trump held a rally elsewhere speaking to a crowd of supporters.. MSNBC was forced to cover both at the same time and the snarky elitist humor fell flat when there wasn't a camera to show the impact of every roast. Gutfield or whatever his name has documented quite a lot of these events (he documented them better than he covered them, though), there's the Dumbledore's army, there's that neanderthall whose barely literate that acted in Sin City making tough guy tweets, there's washed up rom com actors who can only type in capslock that accuse him of being a Nazi sympathizer (and when he denounces the alt right she says it's "TOO LITTLE TOO LATE")... applauding eachother with every single awards ceremony where there's a stunning and brave speech about Trump with very funny jokes about how awards use the popular vote (get it? har har har), and my fucking favorite atm is Morgan Freeman saying that America has been attacked and saying that Donald Trump must address the public and say "alright fellow Americans, we've been attacked by Russia, lets launch an investigation into how I became president!" (as if him making such an announcement wouldn't paint a picture of an unconfident leader at all!). There an actress dressing up as Hitler and pretending to be offended by being compared to Trump. Not to mention there's no shortage of a huge portion of celebrities talking down on at least half the country, and then wondering why turnout to their movies is at an alltime low, there's Gary Moore talking down on the people voting for Donald Trump in his own special way.. even all the non Trump related scandals.. there seems to be an increase of big names getting busted for sexual assault, celebrities virtue signaling about being "allies" who are against sexual assault and call for society to "listen and believe" only for their previous victims to come out of silence to accuse them and them admitting guilt, and making the most awkward excuses (Kevin Spacey, haha).. etc. 

Oh fuck the hell yes...that was very pleasing to read.

Yeah, it sucks hearing my boy Louis was a part of this mess...I mean, at least he isn't trying to lie about it...but that doesn't excuse the action.

100% agreed.

I'm most happy about George Takei getting outed as a predator. I never liked him, or his fans.

George Takei has been a talentless clown for a looooong time.  He hasn't done shit except be the token Asian dude on Star Trek 80 years ago.  Congrats dude, you had 3 fucking lines the entire time and you've been coasting on that shit ever since, way to go.

As far as the current Hollywood debacle is concerned, as it relates to guys like Spacey and Takei, I think a lot of left-wingers are going to(and some have already have begun to)circle the wagons in order to draw criticism away from the sacred cow of homosexuality.  I do think that a big part of the male homosexual community and the gay lifestyle does and always has revolved around the taboo of older men with much young boys.  This is something that presents itself over and over and over again.  Entire porn sites are devoted to this practice.  Guys in all walks of life get busted for it all the time, and a huge portion of gay men claim that their first sexual experience was with an older man.  Yet we are told that this is not at all what being gay is about and those are .000001% of gays and the whole LGBTQ+LMNOP movement shouldn't be judged by these outliers, but I don't buy it frankly.  Sorry.  I think for thousands of years, a big part of gay male sex that was regularly practiced dealt with using 11-15 year-old boys as sex objects, whether they liked it or not.

To be fair though, human sexuality in general hasn't exactly been nice and pleasant throughout the eras, straight, gay, or otherwise.  Rape wasn't really an issue until relatively recently in human history.  I guess we are all a bit barbaric.

The "establishment" in the UK is starting to be hit by a similar phenomenon. A few historic cases like Jimmy Saville are old news already, but now more and more victims are talking amongst themselves, highlighting a range of active media, political and other people. I suspect something of a sexual harassment awakening is underway and imagine this is going to get much bigger yet. Broadly speaking this has to be a good thing, although I'm sure there will be specific cases where the trial by (social) media process will be used inappropriately.

People will be people, though, so nothing is sacred.
