Bravo Judi Dench re Kevin Spacey!

Bravo Judi Dench re Kevin Spacey! I've been trying for years to say something about …

I'm (personally) not a huge fan of K.P. to be honest. Even less when he fucked up at an Oscars speech with the dinner plate hurling screenwriter of….! YOU FUCKED UP KEVIN. And maybe all the men at the Old Vic who made allegations against him are telling the truth. But the reason we have courts of law is so that maybes aren't immediately assumed to be fact even if it is a very, very flawed system

I am proud  and yet … about the MeToo movement. As Dame Judi Dench spake…there would be NO history- if you air-brushed  everyone- one that that been….there would be no photos left.

I still can't get out of my mind the New York Post's film critic when he argued that Gone With the Wind should be banned. Should we ban all films about the Nazis? Should we ban all films where people are shooting each other? Should we....?

What about the profits Hollywood studios make from films based on real life events? Dog Day Afternoon (1975)- the bank staff were clearly traumatized by the event. The real life robber John Wojtowicz was criticized for signing autographs etc outside the actual location after doing his time in prison. No one criticized the Hollywood studio profiting from the event.

I have no doubt that most of the women coming forward in the MeToo movement are telling the truth. 99.9% of the time, though, there is no corroborating evidence. What is to stop a jealous man or woman coming forward with false allegations? One may argue for a greater good. The world that until The Boston Globe's expose of the Catholic church and MeToo fashioned a complicity of silence about sexual harassment is the same world of the jealous and vindictive.

Dame Judi Dench herself enacted a character as such in Notes on a Scandal. Her genius being that she made us not sympathize but most certainly empathize with this sad human life.

Then there is Asia Argento. Sure you can argue that just because she paid off a male actor to keep quiet about sexually harassing him, doesn't mean she isn't telling the truth about her Harvey Weinstein allegations. Does that mean we should ban all Asia Argento movies, though on the first count? Of course not. Does that mean the movie industry should stop using Argento as an actress?

You can't apply one rule to Kevin Spacey, though, and another to Asia Argento.

Amazing how Hollywood billion money has enjoyed it's ……

The dollar is the dollar in America. It doesn't ever matter how soiled it was in the first place: as long as it was squeaky clean for La Oscars... Suck FUCKING HYPOCRITES !!!!

15th place: as long as it fits throughout the plastic-recyclying machine. Of course it won't, cause it is fake as well…as   …
