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

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.

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

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

is it me or does the way Baldwin insists on referring to Toback as "Jimmy" in that article seems like a passive aggressive asshole thing or what?
― Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:22 (six years ago) link
also crucially about a middle-aged man trying to foist himself on a teenager
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:23 (six years ago) link
mm yeah.. also his arc in LA Confidential shows a man slowly finding redemption by attempting to free young men from the clutches of sleazy movie producers.

idk, I think he's just on a "Jimmy" basis with Toback based on that CC closet video I mentioned
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:27 (six years ago) link
it undermines whatever concern he expresses

there are some subtle and not-so-subtle reasons why Baldwin was picked for a recurring Trump parody
sometimes there's a misogyny that's not faked

no

i used to be under the illusion that he was a good actor. actually he probably *was*, back in the Miami Blues/Red October days. before he turned into a comedy hack.
― drejelire, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:52 (six years ago) link
he usually plays some variation of Alec Baldwin
― mh, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:54 (six years ago) link
his one scene in GGR too of course, but yes otm

― piscesx,
Do you mean last year's crap Birth of a Nation or Griffith? Even in my university's worse than mediocre film program the Griffith film gets shown in class.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:55 (six years ago) link
Baldwin was a good leading man up til mid-'90s, then other than a couple of decent supporting roles he's been pretty intolerable. the leading man who was unexpectedly good at comedy turned into a guy who thought he was a comic actor and it didn't work.
― drejelire, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:58 (six years ago) link
He and Wahlberg are the saving grace of The Departed...
I saw Baldwin emcee a screening of a George C Scott film he selected a few months ago, and he was genial and amusing. Didn't make me think he was a good guy. (It was The Savage Is Loose, a desert-island incest drama.)

― Ward Fowler, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 20:00 (six years ago) link
yeah he's good in The Departed!
― drejelire, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 20:02 (six years ago) link
I thought he was good in Still Alice and Blue Jasmine.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 20:02 (six years ago) link
he's probably as underrated as a serious actor as spacey is overrated
but anyway we've uh strayed somewhat off topic

this part of the interview makes me think imitating Trump is infecting his speech patterns, this is sooo Trump:
Jimmy is one of the smartest, he’s one of the cleverest. He went to Harvard, super-intellect. Jimmy is one of the greatest conversationalists in the world. My wife and I went over to Cannes with him, and we had the time of our life with him and Michael Mailer. We had a great time. We made a film. We were very happy with the film we made. We sold it to HBO when it was done.
― Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 20:07 (six years ago) link
I think Baldwin always spoke that way.
