Fuck James Woods.
That’s unfortunate, I liked Oppenheimer. Always sucks to find out someone involved was a total dickweasel.
Forget it Jake, it’s Hollywood.
I heard about the wildfires yesterday, and thought: “ain’t it the rich people who have homes in that area?”
:)
:( to all the people who aren’t rich I’m sorry
There is like 6 fires, but one is a :) fire and the other five are probably :( fires.
All of the fires are :(
While the palisades fire is showing a lot of very rich folks that their money doesn’t make them immune to fire, there are a lot of relatively regular people who were barely hanging on to their homes in a very expensive area who lost everything and could be financially ruined forever.
Don’t get me wrong, vanishinlgy few of those in the palisades were poor before the fire. But a lot could be now if they were uninsured or if their insurance fucks them over.
There’s a bunch of apartment buildings in the area that burned down too. Families who were protected by rent control lost their apartment and now where do they go?
Your comment reminds me of how hurricane Sandy turned into an opportunity to rezone and gentrify affected neighborhoods in New York. The poor always lose, the rich always win: https://apnews.com/article/superstorm-sandy-disparities-042c69728c10e92837360b8b31704eac
To the AI-controlled “free market”
I’m sure the :) fire gets prioritized too.
Lots of actors whose work you appreciated lost their homes. I’m not defending rich people, but many of these folks actually earned it, not all inherited or squatted on wealth. Anthony Hopkins, Cary Elwes, John Goodman, Jeff Bridges, Billy Crystal among others lost homes. I’m sure a lot of amazing Hollywood memorabilia went up in flames too.
E: Why the negativity? Just generic hating on rich people with no nuance? I draw the line at when people use their wealth, personally or politically, to put downward pressure on people’s wages, benefits, and quality of life, doubly so if they personally benefit from it like getting a bonus for layoffs. If you want to hate on wealth save it for the execs trying to use AI to put these people out of a job. People like Goodman walked the line to support their unions. Show a little flexibility before you throw more torches on the fire.
They all have enough to recover with ease, aside from a few lost artworks and memorabilia.
Is the point of mentioning Oppenheimer to get people not to buy it or what?
Oppenheimer has been out for a long time. It is what James Woods is most known for. Boycotting will not have much effect anymore. Maybe his next work.
Oppenheimer is not what James Woods is most known for… lol.
Oppenheimer has been out for a long time.
If a bit over a year is a “long time” then I’m a lot older than you lol.
It is what James Woods is most known for
uh, whhhat? that is certainly not true. I’ve known of him for like 20 years as a (shitty) actor and had no clue he was involved with Oppenheimer whatsoever, despite seeing that movie in the theater. From IMBD:
In some ways, the executive producer isn’t super involved anyhow. My understanding is that they just drum up money and try to persuade suits that a picture should be made. I’m sure he got paid 100 times his worth though…
I doubt any of those movies are currently more known than Oppenheimer. The listed movies have James Woods participating as an actor. Whereas with Oppenheimer, James was bankrolling it. Executive producers can have more influence than producers. It depends whether they decide to be hands-on or only see the movie as an investment.
You can see right there in the IMDB screenshot they use the same language you did (“known for”). I think IMDB has their finger on the pulse of how people talk about entertainment. Many people in the movie industry are most known for things from years ago but still work frequently. Like would you say Christopher Lloyd is most known for whatever semi-popular thing from the last couple of years he had a role in, or Back to the Future?
You are right that EP’s vary in involvement, but even if I had known he was EP in that film, I still would’ve had the same question I originally asked.
What is the bottom text ranting about? No ceasefire from what? Kill who all?
Palestinians, I would imagine.
Oh, thank God. I was worried he might be talking about white people haha
Why would a right wing white guy be taking about burning white people?
I don’t know about the guy you’re responding to but I personally stopped expecting consistency from those kinds of people a long time ago. I’m 100% confident there is at least one white guy doing exactly what you described at this very moment.
Someone is so burned by this.
Total stand-up guy, can’t imagine why karma would have kicked his angry ass out of paradise…
What a child
Since becoming a father, I stopped using child as an insult. My child, still two, actually learns from his mistakes and feels bad when he does something wrong.
So, you had to wait until it impacted you to realize how unfair it was?
Just giving you shit, but as a schoolmarm I can confirm that adults are much shittier than kids
I think the idea is that kids often get away with being poorly behaved. But yeah I guess today, many adults do too…
I think teenagers are the worst humans. If you were ever bullied you know what I mean. No filter on the awful things they say and not just on the Internet.
That’s because adults are more imaginative. My cousin who’s a total dick now as an adult, was also a total dick as a kid. He just was easier to deal with because his dickness was less sophisticated.
Good point. How about immature twat?
Douche canoe
Children are overwhelmingly not as shitty as this turd
First I’ve heard of him being a dick. Adding the name to the pile.
Really? Even Family Guy has been making fun of his for his racist rants for like 20 years at this point. He’s like famously one of the biggest dipshits in Hollywood
Family Guy talks a lot of smack about a lot of people I have literally never heard of, and would have to look up.
He voices himself, maybe he doesn’t get the joke
Oh he’s far worse than this, and has been for at least a decade. He lost his damned mind a while ago.
Hopefully his insurance company goes bankrupt
He made it out. Damn.
James Woods needs to stop snorting so much coke. He’s a shitbag cokehead.
Should switch to molly, maybe he’d learn some fucking empathy then.
I don’t know how much input he had into the movie, but the fact that it still included a rather large portion of Oppenheimer trying to prevent a nuclear arms race as well as being persecuted for his support for socialism and uprisings in other countries is quite ironic.
The title executive producer can basically mean anything. It could be a studio head who approved funding for the movie but isn’t involved in production at all. Or it’s given to someone who secured the script and pitched it to a studio and did the pre production. There is no exact definition of the title. Like Steve Jobs is an executive producer on Toy Story only because he bought Pixar and funded the movie. And nowadays you often see one of the actors with an executive producer title to boost the marketing.
