I agree, but all this will take years - if possible - and a transformative, positive leader we do not currently have available with leverage and popularity to make it happen. What's needed first is something to stop the slide. Whoa:
It will take a long, long time for us to recover on any level, if we can. I believe we can, but it has to begin here. And it has to begin with someone standing to stop Trump from firing Mueller, which I am not convinced anyone in the GOP leadership has the spine to do. Their land of magical thinking - beholden and cowering to donors and their base, living in denial thinking this will all hold and is survivable so long as they get tax cuts for the Kochs and Mercers - is crumbling by the day.
I actually prefer Night. It's incoherent in many ways but raw and brutal in that great, gritty '70s way Dan Curtis seemed to embrace, but which was initially shocking and very upsetting as a young DS fan as a kid. (I was especially traumatized seeing HODS for the first time and watching them violently kill almost everyone.) The ending of Night is also absolutely terrifying. True to his pattern as his own rip-off artist, Dan literally remade all of Night/NODS as the cult horror classic Burnt Offerings with Karen Black, Bette Davis and Oliver Reed, which is even more incoherent story-wise but probably more scary, right down to an even more horrific version of the finale. I had no idea any footage like this was around. Based on my still semi-encyclopediac knowledge of DS and many of its ludicrous fashions, on sight this appears to be from the Angelique/Alexis saga in 1970 Parallel Time, when Alexis bites it. Yep - I'm right.
I know there are supposed to be a slew of stories from young men in the British theater community about Spacey, going back years. Again, his history of creeping on young guys - sometimes str8, often PAs or interns - goes back a long way in the gay world. There were stories about him wanting guys found for him in DC while filming HOC.
I'm surprised Bryan Singer didn't leave to found the first colony on the moon when the Weinstein dam broke.
No, it's blown up. It's not going away. This is his only move, to try and change the story. But he can't on this.
If there's even one more (and I am certain there will be many) that show is done, IMO.
Spacey's response: Spacey's orientation has never been much of a secret, but I know most gay guys thought he'd never come out. His only hope now is to try to turn this into a tortured coming-out narrative, but that won't help because there are going to be more. His predatory behavior is no secret either. He'll be in a sex rehab facility or something by the end of November.
Star Trek: Discovery and RENT star Anthony Rapp says Kevin Spacey made a pass at him at age 14. Spacey's behavior is another open secret.
I think the Edwardses were probably as much of a nightmare in private life as many have said they are and I think the book about '08 absolutely shreds John Edwards, but that doesn't mean the late Elizabeth deserved what she got from Halperin. And his history as we now know it certainly tracks with Halperin having an agenda against any women - and especially Democrats. I've always deeply disliked him. I think the Beltway will abandon him to the wolves now, though - he can't hold up against this. While their initial statement was very weak, Morning Joe and MSNBC have already begun distancing themselves.
The details of what he did not only to her but Daryl Hannah are somehow still shocking - Sciorra was a major up and coming star when he raped her. It makes you wonder just how many female stars of the '90s Harvey and men like him wiped out. I guess I should be less naive.
God:
It's bigger than that - Fox News and the WSJ are running with trying to get him to resign based on the flimsy 'Clinton/dossier' link they cooked up which has no bearing on Mueller. I think Trump may yet attempt to fire him. Which would be suicidal, but Trump's very good at hurting himself.
This is horrific:
