Kevin Spacey, wow dude your career is over. Old Hollywood under siege....and rightfully so.
I want it to get uglier and I want more of this to come out. It needs to be established that this is no longer modus operandi for powerful men and that this should not be normal for women (or men) trying to start careers and make a living. As the father of a 3 year-old daughter, I hope things are different for her and her generation.
I want that for your daughter and all girls in this country so very much. One of the hardest things for me over the past weeks and months has been hearing women I know say, "I've been harassed and intimidated all my life, but just in the "normal" way. I don't think my experiences rise to a level worthy of attention because other women's stories are so terrible." Seems to me that "not being raped" is an unacceptably low bar for personal safety. Another risk here is that we focus too much on conduct in the workplace and fail to recognize that this happens everywhere, all the time.
Finished Season 1 of Stranger Things. So good!

This isn't the first time Louis CK has been accused, or at least insinuated against.
August 2017
2016
2015
2012 (this is the earliest I'm aware of)
One can only hope.This one might actually have consequences.
One can only hope.
Also, I'm hoping this wave finally drives Woody Allen and Roman Polanski to be pariahs in the entertainment industry, rather than still being celebrated.
Really? That's what you worry about when you hear this stuff? Well don't. Rest assured, it's just this common.I just hope this isn’t bringing out the whack a doodles or jilted people to falsely accuse anyone. If they did it, then by all means....the Sheen/Haim one....so bizarre, and Feldman is hard to take seriously for me at times. “Give me $10 mil to ‘make my movie’ and I’ll out all the big Hollywood pedophiles”. How about you just burn them to the ground because it’s the right thing to do?
And what’s up with the self gratification in front of other people unsolicited? Is that some some of WAAAAY over the top joke in CK’s head? The goto “I have the power” move for these people in these ultra fame settings? Hearing Weinstein accused of that leads me to think it’s a mental illness or something. I don’t get it.
There's been some stuff about Allen's new movie floating around. Apparently, it's all about a "relationship" between a girl and a grown man. So gross.Yeah how are those guys not under fire?

As for the ******* issue, it's not just the ultrafamous. It even happens on the street, random men walk up to women and do this. It's happened to me, once by a stranger and once by a guy I knew casually at a party. It's not mental illness. Your first impulse was right. It's about power.
I think it’s perfectly reasonable to expect to false claims occasionally. I’d hate to see any woman or man suffer that. That was my only point. For example Corey Haim’s mom has already made comments that it was another actor who who abused her son.
It’s also not just a woman thing, although certainly more prevalent. I’ve been physically cornered or touched by women I had no interest in. Woe is me right?
Oh maybe. I'm grossed out and don't really want to know. Maybe it's both of them.I thought that was the Louis CK movie subject...
