An impressive career down the drain - all thanks to the bloody #Metoo movement! A gleeful headline just caught my eye - Kevin Spacey’s latest movies tanks with a ‘record-breaking abysmal’ opening night that brought in just $126! You know, Spacey ‘the predatory homosexual’ blah-blah-blah, accused of making ‘unwanted sexual advances’, none proven, of course, but who cares about such details.
It so happens that a few days ago we re-watched ‘Se7en’, one of my favorite movies, and I was just thinking just what a fabulous actor Kevin Spacey is. Not to mention ‘American Beauty’, ‘K-Pax’ or ‘The Usual Suspects’ and so on.
I don’t know about his latest movie, ‘Billionaire Boys Club’, it might not be a great movie, but the reason it tanked is that probably nobody would touch it - by way of distribution and promotion, because, you know, it’s with the disgraced Kevin Spacey, even though he plays a minor part (brilliantly, according to reviews). This is why it received a ‘quiet opening’ in barely 10 cities.
Out of curiosity, I checked the box-office numbers for last week - the first position is taken by a rom-com whose best feature seems to be that it takes place in Singapore. The second place belongs to some bloody crap about a shark, a 1980’s sort of horror, which grossed in on Friday $5,800,000!!!
There you have it a B-movie with a stupid monster made almost six million dollars in one day, whereas Kevin Spacey’s movie barely made a hundred bucks!
And, as some of the reviewers were quick to point out - Kevin Spacey has no other movie projects for the time being… he doesn’t exist anymore… but we can look forward to other ‘action-packed, full of thrills’ remakes, copy-pastes and sequels to the sequel… Hell, the second ‘Mamma Mia’ got more than 1 million dollars on Friday…but then this one stars Meryl Streep and she's one of the darlings of the PC movement!
Thanks for reading
So true - great post, sorry I missed it before.
But People magazine is 100% reliable and nobody else in Hollywood is a pervert..

Speaking of Hollywood perverts, there was a second post one day later - the Asia Argento scandal - that story made me soooo happy!

Yup, all fantastic films....
Can't get away from the other shite though...
..and the silence is deafening from any rebuke .. 'cos if it was unfounded, how many lawyers costing millions would now be defending him...?

As far as I could find, it's just one claim 'under investigation' - they're sure taking their time - the others are just my word against your word... these days you don't need lawyers, as convictions are decided on social media... in most cases you're found guilty as soon as the accusation is made...

I agree, but (always a 'but'), these are not individuals ,as in Spacey- they are multimillion dollar business concerns..
If they are not protesting their innocence, and losing potentially millions of dollars by not clearing their names, , the next obvious question has to be 'why'?
Oh just thought of a meme...thinking of Spacey and his excellent films..

there is an attempted rape allegation going on.. - and lots of sexual predatory behaviour - to pubescent kids..
The thing is, even if they are minor (relatively) offenses..they are the actions of a sexual predator.
It's nothing do with sex, but power..
I'm sure he could have afforded all the consensual kinky action he could have ever wanted...)
So... I'm still going with the 'autobahn's comparison..

Am done being pissed, can't even say am surprised anymore. Apparently people blatantly missed the fact that the allegations are totally unproven

You had me at ‘Se7en’, ‘American Beauty’, ‘K-Pax’, and ‘The Usual Suspects’.
I thought it was innocent until proven guilty. Just kidding. We live in a police state.

The worst thing is that they have taken him out of House Of Cards, hell, the allegations of abuse are about cases that happened more than 20 or 30 years ago, they could not wait until they finish filming season 6!
