Weinsteins step down as Miramax CEOs

if MJ were really the molester he was portrayed to be I would have expected loads more information to have started flowing after his death, and it never did.

fair point

I can't recall any MJ tell-alls coming out either, which is interesting.

maybe he was about as interesting as he appeared to be, which was: seemed like a weirdo, was probably just a secret drunk and pill head, liked to ride a little train with a monkey.

Yeah I mean it is pretty difficult to keep people from spilling your shit once you're dead.

and ... who does that not describe, really? (xpost)

heh

south park and kendrick have exonerated mj, good enough for me (kind of)

i read something ages ago that he spent so long fucking with the press & not giving a fuck about how he was perveivec that when the first accusations arose he had no good will left with the press to even begin to tell anyone on the outside anything resembling the truth - no one wpuld believe him anyway. his world was so closed off and he burned all his bridges that the accusations were able to take him down without a lot of questioning

anyway, way off topic now - better for the MJ thread than here

*perceived

MJ seems very much like Tom Cruise: a full-on rich and powerful weirdo, but probably not a criminal. I mean, I wouldn't want my kids hanging out with Cruise, either.

when tom cruise shares his bed with kids that aren't his and keeps open bottles of liquor and porno mags in the en suite bathroom i'll worry about his behaviour around children

perveivec

I propose we submit this to urbandictionary

lol

Is Rose McGowan pointing a finger at David Geffen? Gonna have to take his name off of a fuck ton of buildings if thats true

yeah his name has been thrown around for a long time along with Spacey & Singer

Ancier? xpost

this site goes into a lot of detail re: the Michael Jackson allegations: https://www.mjfacts.com/michael-jacksons-dangerous-liaisons/

I know that when I'm looking for facts about MJ, I go to mjfacts.com. As I understand it*, it would be illegal for them to publish anything else.

* Voiceover: He didn't understand it.

the person behind that site definitely has an agenda (they're upfront that they believe MJ had a sexual interest in boys, and the aim of the site is to provide evidence to that end), but it collects a lot of information in one place and generally seems pretty well researched imo

I'm guessing Garth Ancier?

Well, everybody needs a hobby...

at least Culkin got a major payout from the Jackson estate after his death, could have been hush money

An arrest warrant has been obtained for actress Rose McGowan for felony possession of a controlled substance.

The felony charge stems from a police investigation of personal belongings left behind on a United flight arriving at Washington Dulles International Airport on Jan. 20. Police say the items tested positive for narcotics. The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police Department obtained the warrant on Feb. 1

The Advocate talk about why they didn't name names in 2001, when Anthony Rapp told his story to them.

or he could have been in the will? idk

I do understand why so many people are certain that Michael Jackson molested children but it's kind of wearying to sit through, particularly when people like R. Kelly blatantly skated by for so long.

that motherfucker is still skating, even with all the press coverage

I am not and have never been a fan of r kelly. He should be in jail.

Alec Baldwin eats his own presumably delicious foot.

“Seduced and Abandoned,” the 2013 HBO documentary that followed the pair roaming the 2012 Cannes Film Festival pitching a sexually explicit update of “Last Tango in Paris,”

finally the story as it was meant to be told

god what a shitty set of answers. fuck alec baldwin.

lol yeah I watching AB's Criterion Closet video and he talked at length about working with his "close friend Jimmy Toback" on that movie and he picked out some movie to give to Toback

the ultimate but-what-about-Trump usage

xp

wow, house of cards production halted. wonder if they'll just kill him off and reshoot for the last season.

xp there's some truth to it though, stupidly said as it was. but it's like, the one good thing to come out of this Trump shit that these assholes are getting outed

House of Cards set is literally two blocks away from me rn. Can you imagine working on that set, dude just got 100s of people their jobs

maybe the crew will actually kill Spacey and then film that for the show. would be a good ending.

hell yeah, I'd show up and gawk on set. although fwiw Spacey is not in town for this (now cancelled) shoot

just recast his part like Becky from Roseanne

they're already talking spinoff, which is probably the best route for job-saving (and preserving as much of the existing audience as possible)

are there people still watching it, is what I am trying to figure out

sadly yes

i wonder if the likes of American Beauty, LA Confidential etc will become like Birth Of A Nation, never broadcast, nor issued on any upcoming formats, never shown at fests or anniversary screenings, ultimately spoken of in hushed tones and rotting away unloved on a studio shelf.

Spacey's pretty scummy but, uh, then let's do away with every single old MGM film maybe

the [redacted] is getting to be a bit [redacted]

American Beauty should rot away on the merits

yeah I don't think it's going to be that extreme

Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy ugh

American Beauty sucks

Yup
