You can get lost down a very scary rabbit hole researching pedophilia in the entertainment industry... a lot of troubling rumors and allegations about practices that are far more widespread than one would think. I'm glad these things are coming to light

Same. Hopefully it leads to some changes. This has actually managed to stick for longer than I thought it would, thankfully, and may even lead to a thing or two. It seems like recent events are getting people to question Non Disclosure Agreements, which is a necessary conversation, and apparently a couple states are thinking about passing some laws that prohibit NDA's being used to cover up criminal behavior.

I tend to give Spacey a little bit of credit. He could have easily just said "Nope, never happened" categorically and it would just be his word against the other dude about something that may or may not have happened 30+ years ago. That would have cooled out one way or another. Instead, he admitted it could have happened, thus torpedoing his own career knowingly and willingly. Doesn't make him any less sleazy but what his response was isn't the worst possible one he could have made.

His response was the worst you could make, actually....he deflected from the accusations by coming out and saying he was a gay man.

I don't think so at all. The "Before I forget, let me take this moment to also announce my gayness to all!" addendum is pretty transparent, sure, and a little troubling that he thought he might be able to muddle the allegation under some kind of Cloak of Homosexuality... but it really just is an addendum. An "Oh, by the way, let me add..." I get that that's pretty insulting to the homosexual community, but it's neither here nor there on the actual response to the allegation.

My real point is that Spacey had many options of responses he could make, up to and including silence and he chose one that would irrevocably end his career. When he didn't have to.

Candy Kappa

as someone said on Twitter, it's cruel to his supposed new community to use his coming out to deflect the accusations. It's going to open up more of the tired old criticisms and conspiracies against the gay community, there are still crusty old assholes that thinks gay equals pedophile.

Even though I know that the vast majority of society is predominantly corrupted in some form, it's still dishearteningly tragic, especially when I read/hear that concerns (or relates to) child abuse. I just can't imagine the pain and heartache that the victims/survivors went through. They will have to deal with their trauma for the rest of their lives. :(

My thoughts and condolences go out to the victims. They didn't (and don't) deserve to go through their traumatic experiences. I wish for their well-being, safety, and, if possible, recovery.

Speaking of that, House of Cards is f***ed. There is no way it can end well, now. That show is mainly about Spaceys character. I'm sure they'll finagle something to bring it to some kind of conclusion but there's no way it's going to be satisfying or feel natural.

Now the movie American Beauty from 1999 where Kevin Spacey wants to have sex with an underage girl, and is accused of having gay sex with a teenage boy he buys crack from makes so much sense.

And this movie is from 1999, literally 18 years ago. Just think of how long this has been going on.

11-09-2017, 12:12 AM
It's not really what I'd consider immediate trouble, but it's certainly a bad sign for him. He's lost roles he's already had lined up and now a company is going to the added expense of re-filming his scenes in a completed movie to erase him from it. Seems like he's looking at the old "you'll never work in this town again" treatment.

Whether that's a problem for him depends on the lifestyle he's lived and whether he's saved money, but that's always a question mark, because some stars are astonishingly stupid with their money.

I was glancing at Jon Bernthal's IMDB and I noticed he has this quote about Spacey on the set of "Baby Driver":

"Going on to that set and working with him, I wasn't there much, but when I was there, he really rubbed me the wrong way. I thought he was a bit of a bully. I didn't really care for the way he was behaving toward some of the other people on set. I remember at the time thinking, 'Man, if that was a woman that he was talking to, I would've done something, I would've said something'. I was really happy to sort of get out of there for that reason, and I just remember losing a ton of respect for him. I think it would be weak of me to sort of pile on about some **** that I don't know about, but the kind of man he was when I saw him, working with him, made me lose all respect for him and I was enormously disappointed."

K-Pax is one of my most favorite movies of all time, due to my fascination with stories set in mental asylums. Don't really remember seeing other movies with Spacy, though.

The Usual Suspects, Seven, L.A. Confidential, American Beauty, Superman Returns (lol, just kidding). I remember enjoying K-Pax as well. He's been in a bunch of great films that got even better because of his performances and his wide range.

Yeah - and his part in 7 is basically a bit part, but he is good in it. Usual Suspects and American Beauty are great movies.

There is something about the guy though - as well as his "Bryan Singer circles" and so on that just make you feel like his problems are rooted in some kind of truth. Like - the courts decided he wasn't guilty of whatever he was accused of, but you can't help but feel that there is something to it. Maybe he didn't commit a "crime" against another person, but that there is some kind of lifestyle thing or a weird kink that he has that opens the door to whatever actually went down with him.

But as far as movies go - yeah he's been in a few good ones.

More a case I feel of not enough evidence to sway the jury.

And I only really know of three guys who traveled in "Bryan Singer circles" -- Kevin Spacey, Anthony Rapp and Brad Renfro. One of them saw a ton of accusations, one of them is a talentless blowhard, and one of them killed himself.

I just happened to see Spacey as Luthor in Superman Returns and as the asshole boss from Horrible Bosses.

My god was Jennifer Anniston smokin' in that one.

I've seen American Beauty, but was too young to figure out what was going on. It is not a genre I am interested in, nowadays.

I've seen Superman Returns, but everything and everyone in this movie were a boring slog.

I take note of other movies, thank you.

My problem with this thing, is that nothing was conclusively proven.

SJW, ironically, will hate me for saying this, but if I want to live in a state ruled by a law, I prefer verdicts, being handled by courts, not by mob on Twatter, which is even less than a real life mob. If person is guilty they should be judged according to law.

I understand there are many factors at play and wealth and good lawyers can make all the difference, but even than - vigilantism is a road to nowhere. Its basically subscribing to the idea that laws don't work and there should be exceptions handled by forces outside of law. But where is there one exception then there's other. And another.

Laws might not always work, but it is much better than a state run by mobs and vigilantes.

Yeah, you clearly understand what I'm getting at there as well as the truth as to how that works. People homogenize to some degree with only a few outliers here or there in a homogenized group.

I've seen American Beauty, but was too young to figure out what was going on. It is not a genre I am interested in, nowadays.

That is a very, very good movie that captures the mid-life crisis without apology. Crazy flick.

Ehhhhhh.... Well, but you know what? That's the key because that is how you get through the human penchant for witch-hunts and gas-lighting, man.

Look over the years here on these forums - at how much bull$#!( has been pencil-whipped from witch-hunters without "proof". Look at the level of problems that causes. "You are a RACIST!" "You are a MYSOGYNIST!" and all of other weak-person tactics that harm otherwise good people who aren't actually "racists" and "mysogynists". And so courts run on 'conclusive proof' exactly for that reason - because there are more peasants who run their mouths than kings who deliver on the goods.

if someone is , say , accused of selling fake autographs then its usually true.......so yes , people do judge if thats the case regardless of court of law

Ari Behn (RIP) (ex of princess Martha of Norway) said Kevin groped him , i think Ari told the truth so yeah , in my eyes Kevin is prolly guilty
