[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Hollywood has started eating its own (Page 2 of 2)

Quoted:
The backlash is that they are now being exposed for the hypocritical moral posturing they frequently engage in. You don't have much ground to stand on if you criticize Trump for making chauvinistic comments when your industry allows and hushes up this kind of behavior. Like so many have commented, it's great to see them eat their own. Evil always turns in on itself. They say they hate sexual predators, rapists, and molesters? Well here ya go. Here's y'all's big chance to prove it.

Force your enemies to live up to their own principles. They say they hate sexual predators, rapists, and molesters? Well here ya go. Here's y'all's big chance to prove it.

Leftists tend to minimize and hide the failings of their own people. We're seeing that even now with NBC and Amazon trying to kill and control this story, even in light of the FBI getting involved in it. Hell, New Mexico had a speaker of the house (Manny Aragon) sent to prison for graft and corruption on a monumental scale, and the worst his old compatriots would ever really say about him was that "he made some mistakes." Weinstein also had a TON of influence, so he could destroy anyone that wronged him. If you shoot at the king, you best not miss. Quoted:
Quoted:
Msm has reported that Weinstein started this back in 1984, I wonder how it's only now being brought to light? I'm not trying to castigate victims but where was the outrage when it became known in hollyweird, that didn't just happen.

Quoted:
I really don't understand the shock and backlash over this. It's gone on since the beginning of the entertainment industry. Heck, as far back as the 30s, the casting couch has been a standard joke in all the film circles. Funny how now all of a sudden the acknowledged but unspoken way of doing business in all the slime pits called mass media is suddenly such news. Hell, how many movies have been made about it? Just look at Jacquelin Susan's book and later the movie called Valley of the Dolls that came out around 67 or so. It pretty much chronicled the sex, drugs, blackmail, and back room deals that make up the whole industry. |

Quoted:
Think of all the kids shows too...I can imagine how many kids have been molested in that industry... I bet you get Doogie Howser and Fred Savage to come clean you would find out how many Sandusky's and Roman Polanskis are working out there. |

Quoted:
We are in an interesting time. A time where people are waking up to the fact that those they look up to are just other ordinary flawed people. Celebrities, politicians, and wealthy people are just people. They aren't special. For most that's disconcerting. the swamp is so wide and far. |

Quoted:
so much that we're so far removed and have forgotten the Google Bro story. its now "meh" and could easily be an adder to women in the workplace situation. though throwing too much at once could make the defense become the victim(s), which is typical response. Quoted:

If this were a True Reckoning, there would have been more names and more testimony out by now, but all new tweets focus on the story they've been trying to keep buried for over a week now: Weinstein, and ONLY Weinstein. |

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has expelled disgraced mogul Harvey Weinstein from its ranks. The Oscar winner, accused of sexual harrassment and assult, "does not merit the respect of his colleagues," the Academy said in immediately revoking his membership.

Quoted:
That's true. Weinstein did something to piss the wrong people off, and was therefore "not to work in that town again". Unless more names and testimony come out, he was a one off sacrifice like Polanski or Woody Allen or (any of the other periodic 'outings' over the past century). |

Quoted:
The way everything is getting shut down and focused ONLY on Harvey Weinstein makes me think he is the sacrificial lamb they sacrificed to attempt to show that "Hollywood has morals and some things won't be tolerated." His sacrifice is to bring back the Blockbusters to the Box Office, since practically every movie this year has underperformed, they're willing to do anything to get people interested in movies again. If this were a True Reckoning, there would have been more names and more testimony out by now, but all new tweets focus on the story they've been trying to keep buried for over a week now: Weinstein, and ONLY Weinstein. It takes a special kind of mentality to want to make your living by being good at being someone else. By lying. Plus there the attention whoring fame thing. But the child abuse is so prevalent it would be easier to find a kid who hadn't been abused than ones who had. There's Jay North, the kid that played Dennis the menace, Patty Duke Mackenzie Phillips, that's just off the top of my head. Some of these kids were openly abused on set while everyone else stood around in silence. Many pimped out by their own parents. Weinstein is the tip of the iceberg. The entire industry is sick to the bone and has no business dolling out opinions on anything. The real mystery is why are they admired and worshipped? |

Quoted:
The Chinese film industry is behind all of this. They are trying to destroy Hollywood so that we have to import our consumer goods AND our media from China |

Woody Allen has said he is "sad" for Harvey Weinstein as the producer faces numerous allegations of sexual assault.
Woody Allen? WOODY ALLEN? Now, THAT is a comfort!! |

Because they're the ones that get up on their soapbox and talk down to the rest of us about equality, and women's rights, fairness, compassion, etc. like they know right from wrong better than the rest of us. While all this time there the biggest fuckin hypocrites around. Quoted:

I'm not trying to castigate victims but where was the outrage when it became known in hollyweird, that didn't just happen. I wondered the same thing, why now? Bill Cosby crossed the line with some high roller and paid the price. By all accounts, Weistein was as big as you get in Hollywood, who could take him down? I think this is all a distraction. Something really big has happened, will happen, or was stopped from happening. |

The timing of all this Hollywood rape scandals is meant to distract people from others news, like the Vegas shooting They'll sacrifice another if box office numbers don't improve, wait and see. |

Excellent soundtrack for any Harvey Weinstein thread.

It's old news here by now but I'm delighted that Variety had to include this news. Hollywood is a gossipy town
