Hot off the press.

Lock him up!

I was shocked--shocked, I say!--to see that Andrew posted this. :tlol:

What's with all the pervs being outed at once? Does this happen in batches or something? Like, the courage of one person coming out against their accusers inspires other people to finally stand up for themselves? It makes sense to me...

There's safety in numbers.

It's actually the left and right working together for a common goal ironically enough :lol:

The #metoo campaign didn't start it but that's where it really gained steam and people speaking out

but also from places like 4chan who want to expose hollywood and their hiphopcracy and fracture the left within

I admit, I can't remember the last time starting a thread felt quite so satisfying.

Now if only people can find some old dirt on Geoff Johns...

4-Chan had to learn how to degrade people from somewhere.
And now it looks like the student has become the master.

Here's an actual picture snapped on the Twentieth Century Fox lot today of them reflecting on their decision to not let Bryan Singer direct X-Men: Dark Phoenix...

I'm sure they're thrilled they got out before this blew up, but Fox deserves some side-eye for using him this long, because allegations of this sort aren't exactly new when it comes to Bryan Singer. In fact, they probably would have kept him on had Apocalypse not been critically lambasted and dropped two hundred million in box office compared to the prior film.

Geez, dude.

If that's their goal, probably not gonna get what they want out of it.

Hiphopcracy sounds like a killer album title.

It's true. Singer was kind of done with "big films" even before this. He'd proven unable to make money with anything except X-Men movies, then Apocalypse proved he can't even do that anymore.

His Hollywood star really did sink as fast as it rose. I remember thinking "he's still around?" when he was announced to direct Days of Future Past. Guess they lose faith in you when you f*** up a Superman film that badly. Then there were the allegations, but Fox didn't seem to care about that.

And yet we still have the Snyderverse...

Singer was still a hot-shot at least until DoFP came around. The studio gave him a lot of leeway on that one. Then he bungled Apocalypse and that confidence vanished.

I don't know about a hot-shot. He practically vanished for years after Superman Returns - I just skimmed his Wiki out of curiosity and dude hasn't been doing much but producing since the year after that film - until DoFP brought him back into the light. The leeway was likely because the guy made them a lot of money in the past and their X-Men output since him had failed miserably, rather than him having any clout. But then Apocalypse happened.

Through Justice League, sure, but even that's questionable. Sounds like they went through rigorous re-shoots, so much so I wonder if it's going to feel like a Snyder film at all. It's going to be a goddamn mess either way, but the way WB seems to be panicking and how they seem like they might be pulling back on the shared universe stuff for now, it sounds like it might be dead regardless.

No he wasn't. He'd just made "Jack the Giant Slayer" and that was a big bomb.

I've heard accounts about his time on DoFP that showed relatively little studio meddling. "Jack the Giant Slayer" was a weird case where Warner Bros. midway through production wanted the entire film's tone changed, so Fox may have been sympathetic to him on account of that... it took a year longer to make that movie than it should have. Either way at least on X-Men the studio was confident in him, since everyone loves X2 for some reason.

Fox would sooner high-five WB over that. Their history of studio meddling is f***ing legendary.

Let's not forget, he made Superman Returns for WB, and look how that one turned out.

Weird thing is why is it always gay men who are raping little boys? Between Kevin Spacey and Bryan Singer, it's bizarre.

It's not gay men.
There's a history of straight women preying on boys as well, but it's not as sensationalistic, for a multitude of reasons.

Well that's probably because boys like it. It's a, "Mrs. Robinson" scenario from The Graduate.

I mean what 15-16 year old boy doesn't want to be seduced by an older female? Of course they're not going to complain.

The guy in the Graduate was an Adult.
15-16 year old kids aren't.

That's what makes it rape.

Bryan Singer and Brett Ratner. That's two X-Men directors with sexual assault accusations. Here's hoping Matthew Vaughn doesn't end up with any.

I heard some rumors about a particular teacher at my high school from some of the more socially connected athlete types after we graduated and I saw them at university. It made me connect the dots as I actually can recall an incident I had where she leaned rather close to me and literally told me I smelled like strawberries (not a joke, this really happened). From what I gather, if the rumors I heard are to be believed, she mostly tended to groom the younger freshman and sophomore athletes.

When I was there, she was one of the most universally well-liked members of the faculty and she still works there, to my knowledge, despite the place experiencing a number of small scandals and a huge number of staff roster changes/retirements, including one male JROTC instructor who ran off and got married to a young female student he was sleeping with.

I think that different social factors affect female predators in comparison to males. The studies that I've read indicate that they tend to be more patient and are willing to do what they have to in order to fly under the radar...

Filthy criminal scum, roaming our fair streets. It's hard to believe these people work among minors/kids for so many years and don't get caught. Even worse the bigswigs at Hollywood who think they're among elite society and won't get caught.

They're scum. No, they're lower than scum. In fact they give scum a bad name. They deserve to be locked up and burn in the fiery pits of hell. Damn these disgusting and sickening individuals. Damn them all to hell.

So what Jones, you gonna take matters into your own hands?

In all seriousness, I actually agree with you.
These are horrible people who deserve to be severely punished for these kind of despicable acts.
My heart goes out to all those who suffered these kinds of things. I know all too well what it feels to suffer and be in distress and not be able to tell anyone about it, be it because of a sense of shame, trust issues, or whatever other reason. I hope they eventually muster the courage to talk about these things.

What he [Bryan Singer] did was just disgusting. :(

I hope that his victims receive some well-deserved healing in a peaceful environment.

I've heard many rumors about Singer and always was surprised that none of them ever led to the court cases and the like.
Now, the roach is under the slipper, so to speak, and I hope, he won't have anywhere to run.

Personally, I really really hope that those "people" will receive as harsh punishment as possible and not a slap on the wrist.

As for why people do this? Power corrupts.
Our society is build on hierarchy and money. As soon as human have sufficiently high place and lots of money, they are starting to feel untouchable. It can make even good people into shitstains. Now if those people had some hidden dirty desires, it turns even worse. Since our society is still sadly patriarchal, men wrongdoings are more prominent, since they usually have the most power and money.
Such is a nature of human, sadly. At least, at this point of development.

Are we sure those other Bryan Singer accusations in the past are bogus now? Even the one that went to court and ended up with the accuser going to jail?

I mean... think about it. If I come out and say, "Plastroncafe grabbed my **** 15 years ago" and take her to court, but I can't prove it beyond a reasonable doubt and she's got millions of dollars to throw at a legal team and I don't? I'm probably looking at a massive countersuit from her, defamation of character, all of that, and there's nothing I can do about it.

And because you are a dude, and I'm a chick, you'll be a laughingstock for complaining in the first place.


This is why people make such a big deal when gay dudes get caught doing this sort of thing.

Seems like a lot of big names in Hollywood are getting accused of sexual harassment, assault, etc.

Tbh the show business has always been very shady, so it's not that surprising. People are just disappointed that popular guys such as Dustin Hoffman, Bill Cosby, etc. turned out to be that sort of people.

Around 9th grade or so, a couple of girls in my school yelled at me "YOU'RE SUCH A HUNK!" out of the blue. I didn't know those girls at all and I assume they were just teasing me out of boredom or something. It didn't affect me because, well in a fist fight, I'm pretty confident I'd beat them easily.

LOL...what? Sounds like they were coming onto you. :lol:

Doubt they were tbh. I mean, I dont' want to sound like I lack confidence or anything, but in 9th grade I was a HUGE dork. Not the type of guy your average teenage girl would go for at all. I was the guy who spent recess playing Magic the Gathering and talking about wrestling instead of playing soccer and basketball like the cool guys did.

Regardless, it doesn't matter. It's a fun story to remember :lol:

Andrew, you win the Drome award for the day. Stone Cold gifs are always welcome! :tgrin:

Hell yeah!

I think everybody in the building wanted Stone Cold to stun Hogan rather than share a beer during that segment. "Silverdome". F***, Hogan. Trust me, we were chanting "Su-per-dome" even louder than the broadcast show made it seem. Hell, Hogan can't even chug the beer. Rock and Austin go all in and Hulk just kind of sips like he's afraid to get his shirt wet.

Charlie Sheen was accused of sexually assaulting Corey Haim.

Oh my... :cry:

Just ... why? Why do human beings keep doing this?

It's inhumane.

On contrary - it is very human thing to do, sadly.
