ONTD Original: A look at all the trash men in Hollywood (Part 5)

$

0
Hollywood's worst kept secret finally received the attention it deserved thanks to the amazing and brave women who came forward with their stories. Harvey Weinstein was properly exposed for the vile piece of shit he truly is. While Hollywood wants to act shocked, there are many more men like Weinstein in the industry whether they are producers or actors. In light of the stories and accusations, I have decided to take a look at all the men in Hollywood who have been accused of abuse or harassment or who are just straight up trash.



Brett Ratner

In light of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, Brett Ratner has also been exposed for the trash he is. A former employee of Endeavor Talent Agency accused Ratner of rape. Melanie Kohler wrote on Facebook that Ratner preyed on her at a club about 12 years ago. He then took her to Robert Evans home, where Ratner was living, and forced himself on her. Olivia Munn has also accused Ratner of sexual harassment. Munn alleges that Ratner masturbated in front of her in his trailer on the set of a film he was producing. This is not the first time Munn spoke about this. She first wrote about the incident back in 2010 in her collection of essays but did not mention the name of the man. After it was published, Munn saw Ratner at a party where he bragged about ejaculating on magazine covers featuring her. Model Natasha Henstridge also accused Ratner of sexual harassment and misconduct. Henstridge was 19 at the time when Ratner forced her to perform oral sex on him. He would not let her leave his home and blocked the doorway. Since the LA times released this article, 45 more women have contacted journalist Amy Kaufman with their own stories about Brett Ratner.

Kevin Spacey

There have been rumors over the years about Kevin Spacey's inappropriate behavior. He was known to frequent Bryan Singer's parties that often involved a bunch of young men. Anthony Rapp, from Star Trek Discovery, spoke out about Spacey making a sexual advance on him back in 1986. Anthony Rapp was only 14 at the time of this incident. Spacey apologized and said he didn't remember but that he blamed it on the alcohol. He also thought it was a great idea to come out of the closet so he can distract from the fact that he is a pedophile. Crew members on the set of House of Cards also spoke about Spacey's toxic behavior. Spacey would often make inappropriate comments and was predatory. One assistant alleges that Spacey put his hands down the assistants pants in the car. Employees were scared to speak out about Spacey's behavior considering who he was. London police are also investigating an incident that occurred in 2008. A 32 year old man accuses the actor of performing a sexual act on him after he passed out. This man was only 23 at the time. Actors and staff are also cussing the Old Vic theatre of ignoring Spacey's inappropriate behavior from when he served as artistic director. An unnamed artist also came out against Spacey. The artist alleges that he entered a sexual relationship with Spacey when he was 14 and the actor was 24. The relationship ended in attempted rape. He met Spacey at an acting class when he was 12 and the pair met again when he was 14. Spacey has also been accused of sexual assault by multiple men. Since the allegations, Spacey has been dropped by his publicist and agent. Netflix also fired him from House of Cards and will not work with him on his film "Gore".

Emile Hirsch

Emile Hirsch attacked a female Paramount executive at Sundance in 2015. While at a club, Hirsh was heavily intoxicated and started picking on the exec. He then came behind her and put her in a chokehold. He pulled her across the table and put his hands around her neck. He only served two weeks in jail and was charged with a misdemeanor.

Bill Murray

While Bill Murray seems to have permanently charmed his way into peoples hearts, lets not forget that he was accused by his ex wife, Jennifer Murray of abuse. Jennifer accuses the actor of hitting her in the face and claiming that she was "lucky" he didn't kill her. She accuses him of abuse on several occasions and repeatedly left threatening voice messages. She also accuses him of abandonment and how he would leave town without telling her to travel overseas to engage in sexual liaisons. She also filed a restraining order against Bill.

Disney has blacklisted the LA Times

- The LA Times' holiday movie preview came out today with a note that it excluded Walt Disney Co. films, including Thor: Ragnarok, because the company "declined to offer The Times advance screenings, citing what it called unfair coverage of its business ties with Anaheim."

- About a month ago, the LAT ran a series about the increasingly contentious relationship between Disney and Anaheim. The piece notes that Disney is the major industry in Anaheim and drives its local economy, but after decades of sweetheart tax breaks (including a 45-year exemption from any future entertainment taxes), a parking garage paid for by the city but generating revenue solely for Disney, blocking housing developments, and a repayment structure that prevents surplus revenue from returning to the city's general fund, residents were frustrated by the disparity between the resort district and the rest of the city. A company valued at $154 billion getting handouts while they deal with growing poverty and homelessness isn't popular for some reason. Disney poured $1.22 million into candidates and PACs last November, but ultimately lost the longtime pro-Disney majority on the city council.

- "[I]n a letter to The Times, the company said that some politically motivated critics in Anaheim 'want to blame Disney for larger socio-economic ills that exist in cities throughout California and across the nation,'” while not considering how corporate tax breaks have vastly contributed to the rise in local tax burden and those socioeconomic ills.

- In the proud tradition of billionaires getting pissy at the tiniest bit of pushback, LA Times entertainment critics have been blocked from advanced screenings because of other journalists' local political reporting, though they will still cover Disney movies once they come out. This is somewhat alarming for any smaller or solely entertainment-focused pubs who cover a company that owns most of American pop culture. Nothing bad can happen from publications sitting on stories about powerful people out of fear of retribution, right?

SOURCES: 1, 2&3

the story is mostly reporting things that are well-known in Anaheim since it's already affected an election there, and not getting coverage elsewhere, but I guess Disney decided to Streisand it out of sheer dickishness

Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen

When Jacob Jankowski, recently orphaned and suddenly adrift, jumps onto a passing train, he enters a world of freaks, drifters, and misfits, a second-rate circus struggling to survive during the Great Depression, making one-night stands in town after endless town. A veterinary student who almost earned his degree, Jacob is put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It is there that he meets Marlena, the beautiful young star of the equestrian act, who is married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. He also meets Rosie, an elephant who seems untrainable until he discovers a way to reach her.

Beautifully written, Water for Elephants is illuminated by a wonderful sense of time and place. It tells a story of a love between two people that overcomes incredible odds in a world in which even love is a luxury that few can afford.

First Grave on the Right (Charley Davidson #1)by Darynda Jones

This whole grim reaper thing should have come with a manual.
Or a diagram of some kind.
A flow chart would have been nice.


Charley Davidson is a part-time private investigator and full-time grim reaper. Meaning, she sees dead people. Really. And it's her job to convince them to "go into the light." But when these very dead people have died under less than ideal circumstances (like murder), sometimes they want Charley to bring the bad guys to justice. Complicating matters are the intensely hot dreams she's been having about an entity who has been following her all her life...and it turns out he might not be dead after all. In fact, he might be something else entirely. But what does he want with Charley? And why can't she seem to resist him? And what does she have to lose by giving in?

The Beautiful Land by Alan Averill

Takahiro O’Leary has a very special job…

…working for the Axon Corporation as an explorer of parallel timelines—as many and as varied as anyone could imagine. A great gig—until information he brought back gave Axon the means to maximize profits by changing the past, present, and future of this world.

If Axon succeeds, Tak will lose Samira Moheb, the woman he has loved since high school—because her future will cease to exist. A veteran of the Iraq War suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, Samira can barely function in her everyday life, much less deal with Tak’s ravings of multiple realities. The only way to save her is for Tak to use the time travel device he “borrowed” to transport them both to an alternate timeline.

But what neither Tak nor Axon knows is that the actual inventor of the device is searching for a timeline called the Beautiful Land—and he intends to destroy every other possible present and future to find it.

The switch is thrown, and reality begins to warp—horribly. And Tak realizes that to save Sam, he must save the entire world…

6788784The Hungry Season by T. Greenwood

It's been five years since the Mason family's holiday at the lakeside cottage in north Eastern Vermont, close to where prize-winning novelist Samuel Mason grew up. The summers that Sam, his wife, Mena, and their twins Franny and Finn spent at Lake Gormlaith were noisy, chaotic, and nearly perfect.

But since Franny's death, the Masons have been flailing, one step away from falling apart. Lake Gormlaith is Sam's last, best hope of rescuing his son from a destructive path and salvaging what's left of his family. As Sam struggles with grief, writer's block, and a looming deadline, Mena tries to repair the marital bond she once thought was unbreakable.

But even in this secluded place, the unexpected - in the form of an over-zealous fan, a surprising friendship, and a second chance - can change everything.

Megan Fox Gets Real About Making Movies

Megan shared some of her personal experiences working in the industry.

"Women are undervalued. Equal pay for equal work. The value for human life isn't anything. It's all about getting that shot on time so that we make our money back. People get hurt in the process."

"There are some very dark negative things that go on on set, between actors or between actors and directors—specifically to actresses—that we have to go through. There's no morality or integrity within the studio system. It's completely about greed. If there was a way to change that, I of course would."

"You can't shut down a movie set—it's $2 million a day halted—even though insurance covers it. We usually fight through the injuries. As long as your face looks OK, they don't care and they want you to keep shooting anyway."

"I think we have to be supportive of each other. It's such a patriarchal and misogynistic workplace. When I get a script, almost always when a man writes a script or produces a movie, the female roles will ultimately be in service of the male character."

J.R.R. Tolkien's estate in conjunction with Warner Bros. TV are shopping a TV series based on The Lord of the Rings novels.

The package is said to be the biggest ever for a TV series. Any network interested in the project will have to pay $200 – $250 million to acquire the rights. That is before the cost for development, cast salaries and production.

The project has been pitched to Amazon, Netflix and HBO, with Amazon, who has been looking to launch a big fantasy series for some time now, is said to be the frontrunner for the project. HBO, who is developing multiple spin-offs for Game of Thrones which will end in 2019, passed on the project.
