The only cost is 20-30 minutes of discomfort and humiliation. Don't worry. Nobody will ever find out.
It's ok to say no. Here's a bus ticket back to where you came from. There's countless thousands more who are just as pretty and just as talented standing in line behind you.
“The King Of Hollywood” - The Eagles
Well, he sits up there on his leatherette
Looks through pictures of the ones that he hasn’t had yet
When he thinks he wants a closer look,
he gets out his little black telephone book
(He’s calling, calling, calling
He’s calling, calling, calling
He’s calling ,calling, calling
He’s calling)
“Come sit down here beside me, honey.
Let’s have a little heart to heart.
Now look at me and tell me, darlin’,
how badly do you want this part?
Are you willing to sacrifice?
And are you willing to be real nice?
All your talent and my good taste,
I’d hate to see it go to waste.”
“We gon’ get you an apartment, honey.
We gon’ get you a car.
(spoken) Yeah, we’re gonna take care of you, darlin’.
We gon’ make you a movie star.
For years I’ve seen ‘em come and go.”
He says, “I’ve had ‘em all, ‘ya know.
I handled everything in my own way.
I made ‘em what they are today.”
After ‘while nothin’ was pretty.
After ‘while everything got lost.
Still, his Jacuzzi runneth over.
Still he just couldn’t get off.
He’s just another power junky.
Just another silk scarf monkey.
You’d know it if you saw his stuff.
The man just isn’t big enough.
Hollywood and DC values
I struggle to find one. Both are filled with egotistical hypocrites willing to do anything to satisfy their desires.
I’ve been pondering this. One part is the passion Mr. Farrow has on the subject. As he gets older he really realizes how ghastly it was that his father was allowed by the public due to his power and fame to abuse young girls, including his precious sister. He is brilliant and he got his story together about one of the most KNOWN sickos in the industry. He pushed, and he deserves the credit he is getting. He was stronger and braver and more deeply motivated to stop this than most men.
Another part is the slow comfort in the GOOD for humanity that Bill Cosby’s victims coming out has done. Slowly, America was slapped in the face enough to wake up from “But he’s famous! And funny! And beloved! So he couldn’t have been drugging and raping women for decades!” We had already slowly come aware to the fact that the clergy CAN use their holier prominence to abuse children.
The direction we are going in will prevent more abuse. I am happy deep in my soul that this is occurring. We need to shame all people who truly sexually harass, and come after all rapists and pedos with the law.
Your post is brilliant and nails the casting couch situation perfectly.
The pretty young talent is also told, “Look at [famous wealthy actress]. She did this, it hasn’t hurt her any.” So lettting a Weinstein have his jollies is part of the gauntlet to fame and fortune.
I am sorry you had that experience. God bless.
Sounds like Hugh Hefner.
I have always thought that the pedo theory was way too far fetched to believe. Maybe I just didn’t want to go down that rabbit hole but these Weinstein stories have changed my mind. I’m now convinced this pedo ring exists at a high level in our society.
Thanks. I understand Ronan Farrow’s passion.
That’s where I am. Considering the treatment of adult women is so perverted and the reports of child sexual abuse from child stars who experienced such it is an easy jump to at least consider it is true. Maybe that is why the left squealed so loudly at the claim instead of letting it die if it is so ridiculous. It is only ridiculous in the mind of normal deplorables I guess.
