The Constitution: Hollywood is burning, and none of the occupants care to admit that they are at risk of catching fire as award season approaches.
It all began with a series of accusations against Harvey Weinstein, one of the most influential men behind the scenes in Tinseltown. The movie magnate was considered by many to be the ultimate movie mogul, producing and financing a number of seminal works, and being the go-to “it” man in the former movie-making capital of the world. (Atlanta, GA has since taken over for Southern California, shooting more projects in the state of Georgia than anywhere else in the country).
Weinstein had long been rumored to be a sexual harasser and abuser, and jokes about he and fellow deviant, pedophile actor Kevin Spacey, had long predicted that this day may never come.
Contrary to the usual Hollywood burial, the rumors began to gain steam as brave victims spoke out about their tragic encounters with these larger than life movie mavericks. Now, the entire town is mired in the scandal, with new names and faces being dragged out into the street and having their careers shot at a near-daily rate.

“And the envelope please….The award for Most Pretentious Speech at a Highly Overrated Pompous Hollywood Awards Show goes to …..”

Their arrogance is unendurable.
And the winner in the category of “Best New Starlet Who Sexually Debased Her Way To Fame” is…
Hollywood is dead to me. I don’t care what the movie is. I don’t care who’s in it. I couldn’t care less. I will not finance them anymore. Not a penny.
What Irony Curtain said.
Also consider canceling your cable. Did it 16 years ago
and haven’t looked back since!
“We all know what landing that first big role was like. It was so hard… the auditions, not the peoducer’s dick.”
We were watching the Paul Hogan Crocodile Dundee films this weekend and I was wondering when the last time was hollywood made a feel good movie.
How about inviting the brats from the Berkeley campus to the Oscars and Academy awards. THAT I’d watch.
Past Social Security age and can honestly say I’ve never seen one of these events. Not one. Kudos to great parents.
You would think that none of these people ever got paid any money for doing what they do!
I have not been to a movie theater for 10 years, with any luck it will be another 10 before you consider it.
