Hollywood Sexual Harrasment/Assault Thread

If they market this last-minute switch right, then they could stand to make a proverbial killing at the box office just on the controversy alone.

 

Meanwhile, Kev's new manager at Inn-N-Out Burger is training him on the soft-serve machine.

 

For God's sake, Hollywood!  In what universe is Kevin Spacey a bigger name than Christopher [!@#$%^&*] Plummer?

 

In my wildest dream, this film not only premieres to boffo reviews and box office, but Plummer lands another Oscar (or at least a nomination) as well.  I want the latter to happen, if only to hear what Plummer would have to say if/when he makes his way to the podium to accept his award.

Yeah, I'm not sure what planet Tom Rothman over at Sony is living on. Plummer is an upgrade in every way and is actually age-appropriate for the role.

 

I've seen a fall as steep and immediate as Kevin Spacey's, but it seems like Hollywood is happy to be rid of him for reasons far beyond his predilection for predation.

It also may explain why when Charlie was divorcing his third wife, Denise filed for custody of his twin boys along with her own daughters with him. It may have had very well to do with something beyond wanting simply to keep her girls and their half-brothers together.

 

You know, American Beauty was a movie that gave me the absolute creeps. I never understood why it got all those awards and people just lauded it. There was just a vibe about it that made me feel sick...and this was years before my own traumatic situation. Of course, Spacey won the Oscar for it. To this day, it is the only film I have ever walked out on in a theater.

Not anymore. And Spacey's makeup was laughable. If not for this scandal it would've been the kind of boneheaded decision studio guys like Rothman (an infamous micromanager) make where the makeup/FX job to make it work becomes the story vs. their big 'star move' - it's happened so many times in the last decade.

To be perfect and frank, as funny as I found Louis C.K. at times, something about him still rubbed me the wrong way (no pun intended).  So, I'm not TOO stunned by these allegations.  But I am sad once more about how pervasive this cavalier attitude toward women has been throughout the film industry in particular.

    • Thanks for these. I can't recall -- did Evan's vendetta have any position on Mitch, or was it all about Rachel? @Maxim have you seen any Frames intreracting with Mitch in any way?
    • Thank you for the tag! It's always a pleasure to see these little pearls of memories. 
    • Uh-oh. Today just might’ve been the first Paula/Jeanne stinker. I have a feeling whose fault that might be though. So, Doug III is getting a job at the Pub?  It’s good to see him interact with other characters. I enjoyed his scenes with Roman, even though the talk of Frankie and Max seemed a little random. And it also could be really interesting now that Tate knows. Days really need to start pushing their rivalry again. We need some follow up from the punch. Tying it all to Holly, to Sophia’s pregnancy, to the guys that Doug III owes money to could be good.  But yeah, wayyy too much Leo again in today’s episode. Seriously, has anything changed with this nothing character? I thought it was all Ron’s fault, but maybe Greg Rikaart is (partially) responsible for Leo being so insufferable.  And yeah seriously, Rafe needs to throw all of these people out of his house. Including Gabi

      But I do wonder who’s the mysterious voice that Gabi overheard with EJ on the night he was shot. Based on yesterday’s episode, I have a suspicion. 
    • Add me to the group of people who think that Brandon has improved. He has. There's no doubt about it. Especially compared to the beginning. And he's improving in a way that... it makes me think that he realizes what the issues are and is addressing them. Of course, he's no master of acting at this point... but I don't cringe as much as I did. And I've seen people in Bold... I won't even have to name names, because everyone knows who they are... who are becoming even worse than what they were offering in the first place. So... I'm happy that in BTG... people are actually blossoming and improving. It surely means that the atmosphere is creative and nurturing talent.  BUT and it's a big butt... his relationship with his husband is still so lacking and ghastly. I am craving to see more action from these guys. I want to see Smitty's character. If he has any. 
    • Thank you. You guys come to the rescue again. I'll take a look later.   Thank you for the info!!! Now I find myself less confused. You and @DRW50 are amazing.
    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew.
