Tinseltown is no longer glittering. The movie industry was already foundering because of technological advances in media and entertainment. The latest string of flops pouring out of the studios has signaled that Hollywood's malaise is bad, really bad this time. But it’s good for us. The liberal, progressive agenda thrived on big money from media moguls and movie stars. Moviegoers were funding this institution, which invested in candidates and causes against our freedom, our traditional values, our constitution, and our Judeo-Christian culture.
There is no better representative of Hollywood’s epic down fall than Kevin Spacey. This actor would sing, dance, and take on stage and screen in all kinds of acting exploits. He had earned two Academy awards--Best Supporting Actor in The Usual Suspects; Best Actor in American Beauty--then became Artistic Director for the Old Vic Theater. He had quite a repertoire.
Then came the allegations of child molestation from Anthony Rapp, which followed the numerous women lining up to single out producer Harvey Weinstein for his repeated and long-term predatory behavior.
Spacey issued a press release immediately, apologizing for these acts which he claims that he had never done, but if he had done them, he was probably drunk at the time--oh, and he had been bisexual and now decided to come out as a gay man. Yes, Kevin tried to cover up for past pedophilia perversion by coming out of the closet.
The moral swamp of sexual degeneracy is getting worse for Spacey. More actors are coming forward announcing that he had made numerous unwanted advances toward them. Young men who were minors are now recounting more devastating sexual assaults.
The consequences have been swift and telling. Spacey has lost his Netflix miniseries "House of Cards", which has folded up instead of going into its sixth season. The Emmy Awards was going to have a tribute for him, but that has been cancelled. There was even talk about another extravaganza on his behalf at the Academy Awards.
All of that has fallen away.
Speaking of Academy Awards ... should anyone be surprised that his private life has overwhelmed his public persona with such duplicity? In The Usual Suspects, he played a down-and-out cerebral palsy stooge narrating a crime. The detective mocked him, talked down to him, but suspected him of nothing more than being a big nothing.
Turns out at the end that Spacey’s character was the mastermind for the whole crime, and every aspect of the crime scene he narrated, he had drawn from objects and items in the detective's office. It was a brilliant tour de force for Spacey: a con man who conned law enforcement.
Consider how long Spacey the actor got away with his perverse behavior and masterminded his way toward getting away with it?
Then there's American Beauty.
The main character, Lester Burnham played by Spacey, is a bored, empty, repressed suburban father. Right away, all the brazen, Freudian Marxist stereotypes come to the forefront. Married life is bad, sexual license is good. People should be able to sleep with whomever they want to, and there is nothing wrong with that.
An explicit example of this occurs when Father Burnham sexually pursues his daughter Jane's best friend Angela. In an early scene, the father falls into lust with this young girl during a cheerleader performance. As early as 1999, the movie industry was glamorizing an adult sleeping with a minor!
That film should have been called "American Ugly". It revealed Hollywood’s broken moral compass spinning out of control, justifying everything contrary to sound moral order. A homosexual couple living down the street from the Burnham family was presented as the only real stable, loving "couple". The army veteran next door (with mentally ill wife and drug-dealing son) was a closet homosexual. The film showcased adultery, mockery of natural marriage and family, and then glorified the natural yet destructive impulses in human beings.
Is this truly high class or artistic? Did this film remotely reflect reality in any true fashion? Nope, but in Sadistic fashion, this fiction outlined a moral treatise, one of decadence and disdain as acceptable as long as people feel “free” or feel good.
What is troubling now is that ONLY NOW do movie goers and Spacey fans look at this scene and comment "This makes my skin crawl." Why didn't this adult-minor lust make Hollywood elites sick to their stomachs 20 years ago?! Nevertheless, Hollywood’s left-wing elites thought this film was a "beauty", and they awarded Spacey the Best Actor Oscar. The film also won Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.
Today, lo and behold, we now see in this film what has burst forth in Spacey's real life for everyone to see. He had perversions within him, which had been spilling out for quite some time. The first accusations against him had occurred 13 years prior to winning his second Oscar. Should we be surprised as this long history? Not if we recognize the fact that Spacey’s enabling peers was celebrating sexual abuse and perversion on that stage. His acceptance speech highlighted significant premonitions of what we have learned. His first line? “This is the highlight of my day. I hope it is not all downhill from here.”
Indeed.
It would go downhill from there. His work titled toward less popular fare. He took over artistic direction in a London theater, where he would prey on young men and boys. He would then claim in his speech that viewers would see the good in Lester, even though he did so much. He thanks his mother for being his date--even then, people suspected that he was gay. Notice also that Spacey never mentioned his father, who was an abusive Nazi, literally.
Spacey's fall from Glitteratti pre-eminence should not shock us, ultimately. How could anyone look at trash like "American Beauty" and call it award-winning? Hollywood, and the same coven of creeps and greedy moguls enabled and covered up for Spacey's behavior for decades to follow.
I thought “American Beauty” was a sick, lousy film when it came out, but ofc Hollyweird critics and “cool people” loved it. Anything celebrating depravity and attacking America is good in that world.
I didn’t see it, so I probably didn’t miss a thing
Only film I ever saw him in was Beyond the Sea, which I enjoyed. In fact before the film was released, he appeared at a Ventura, California Theatre for a live performance as Bobby Darin. I went to that. The whole audience was holding its collective breath — could he sing like Darin — then he started singing and was amazing.
Otherwise, I’m happy that the proverbial chickens are coming home to roost for him and others in H’wood.
I walked past the Old Vic in London this week on the way to the Young Vic. I had forgotten the Spacey connection.
I have never changed my values. I’ve been a traditional person all my life. Contrast that with the other side and the reckoning it has been forced to come to terms with.
The same liberals who defended Bill Clinton’s sexual abuse of an intern were the same people who lionized Kevin Spacey’s embrace of a degenerate lifestyle, giving him an Oscar for his performance.
Fast forward 20 years, these same people are sickened by sexual harassment and repelled at pederasty. Keep in mind before that they thought it was ok and kept people from exposing it because it was all about sex and a private matter. How the worm turns.
Its now destroying Hollywood and its most celebrated moguls and movers. The kind of people who looked down on and sneered at our bourgeois suburban lifestyles and traditional values. They were right and we were wrong.
Now America is having the last laugh as the liberal culture once riding high now consumes itself and lays waste to everything in its path. Hollywood will never be the same again - not when Weinstein and Spacey are its new Untouchables.
I have no comment on Spacey specifically but Hollywood has been the purveyor of crap for years/decades. They promote anti-Western, anti-American and largely anti-Christian themes. They seek to undermine our families, our communities and our culture not to mention our heritage with propaganda laced invective.
You didn’t miss anything worth seeing, that’s for sure. Sometimes I used to go see a current hit like that just to see what all the fuss is about, but I’m pretty well cured of that temptation after seeing too much Hollyweird garbage over the years.
Oh, wait... they do. The crap factory is still as incestuous as when Uncle Carl stocked the pond, as violent as when Fatty squished a female bit player, and as perverted as when Raymond Navarro was road testing what became his murder weapon. There's no business like show business.

Spacey’s latest feature film, Rebel in the Rye, an artsy film from the look of the trailer, concerning the early life of J.D. Salinger, author of Catcher in the Rye, is going straight to video. On Amazon it’s listed for presale at $11.99, which is bargain basement even for a dud. Even the worst flops of the past summer are listed as $14.99.
“I have no comment on Spacey specifically but Hollywood has been the purveyor of crap for years/decades”
For sure. The metaphor, “casting couch”, has been around forever.
Never liked this arrogant piece of trash
Who’s next on the degenerate hit parade? Can’t wait to see whose career is next to come to a screeching halt. Please let It be a preachy woman like Cher this time caught letting her children be used by pedophiles.
The spacey queer molests a little boy, so why is this criminal not in a cell or hanging from a lamppost?
He’s not gay; he’s a pedophile. A child molester.
What more do you need to know? This POS preyed on kids.
Yes, he is a queer. He molested a little boy, just as most male queers do. NAMBLA.org
No. The movie industry is foundering because of moral rot at its core.
This moral rot exposes itself in movies depicting blatant sexuality, violence, drug abuse, and other assaults on decency and the values of decent people and in the support of Hollywoods leading figures for depraved, indecent, anti-American causes and political candidates primarily of the Democrat Party.
Hollywood is saturated with the decadence of Western Civilization and all the mendacity and depravity that its moral rot engenders.
Hollywood is a moral cesspool. Its movies and political opinions are as rotten and depraved as its morality. And the American People are sick and disgusted with all of it.
That's why Hollywood is falling: internal moral rot and decay.
And if Hollywood had its way, all of America would fall for the same reason.
Yes. This is why Hollywood is falling. Decent people the world over recoil in disgust at the productions of an industry and a mass of people who operate with a broken moral compass--or none at all.
And make no mistake: The political opinions of these degenerates reflect their broken moral compass.
The American people are sick and tired of their moral rot and the depraved products that they produce--and the depraved and immoral political opinions and candidates whom they support.
That's why Hollywood is in free fall. AND GOOD RIDDANCE!
Imagine if Mrs Xlinton had won. Now we see why Hollywood really hates the right. What drives that hate is the possibility that they’re going to have the sheets pulled down
I was travelling on business and relaxing in the hotel after a long day. I had heard “American Beauty” was a great movie; critics were rapturous about it, so I was delighted when I saw it was available for free on the hotel TV.
What a disappointment. It turned out to be a sad, depraved farce of a movie, documenting the sad, depraved existence of a farce of a man.
“Trash,” as the columnists writes here.
I can see a movie (or read a novel) and not have it negatively impact my real life world or compromise my set of morals. It's escapism.
It amazes me that some people take Hollywood and the actors so seriously. They are essentially court jesters. Song and dance men (and women) who decided to make their living entertaining the rest of us us. Back in the Middle Ages, they'd be making the king and his court laugh but after their performance, they'd have to eat at the servants table as that was what they were considered as. Due to cinema and other modern technology, their performances can be enjoyed by the masses and they have thus been able to convert their art into a mass industry that generates billions of dollars a year in revenue. But when it all comes down to it, they are still just entertainers, just common people. Their political opinions and such are innocent and naive because they are mostly simple-minded people who lucked into an industry that made them rich and famous. Along the same lines as modern day ballplayers who make their livings slinging balls around and running up and down a field or a court.
