A lot of right wing media is put out at a loss for propaganda purpose so they tend to not care what kind of money they throw around.

Robert Loggia played the devil in that Christian horror movie about a guy who kidnaps women trying to get abortions and forces them to give birth (he is the hero of the movie). Loggia said later that he had no idea what he was filming, as they only gave him his scenes and filmed all of them in a few hours. It’s the Cameron Mitchell/latter-day Bruce Willis method.

IIRC a similar thing happened with a wacko science documentary where they told everyone it was for something else and then edited all the interviews to make it seem like the scientists were agreeing with the filmmakers.

In Laurence Krauss’ case they probably said it was the entrance fee to the next Epstein party.

Wasn't the twist in that one that they were all actually dead and in Hell for being abortionists and Robert Loggia was The Devil?

I believe that the women who stop fighting and accept the idea of having babies while imprisoned in a dungeon are released into heaven, while the harlots who refuse are condemned to the punishment of reliving the experience of pregnancy and birth for eternity, as would the souls of their innocent fetuses, presumably. The women sent to heaven never address the question of whether their dead fetuses go with them or what the afterlife is like for a ghost fetus without a brain or consciousness of any kind. Kind of an incoherent message from people who want you to think they value children.

She's not the most important character, no, but the point is that paying big money for an A lister to have a small role in your movie is entirely different than spending big money for someone who is more niche. A better example of this in Office Space is Gary Cole, who is exactly the level of fame and success that I would expect to see in some of these marginal productions. Obviously Office Space itself was hardly marginal. It was made by Mike Judge and in addition to Jennifer Aniston had Stephen Root and John C. McGinley.

We've been dissing him for acting like he didn't care for a few years now, but it turns out that he was working way past the point where he should have stopped. He did not age well.

RLM and noted authorities Cum Town have been sending good but non-declarative vibes in the direction of his estate. Remember him in Twelve Monkeys. Because he can't.

Kids on the playground is usually a mutually exclusive group with large media producers. I understand how you might get them confused, what with them being at about the same level of intellect and taste.

Newsradio is still relevant because Jon Lovitz bounced Andy DIck's head off of a bar rail for suggesting that it was funny to get Phil Hartmann's wife on drugs which led to her murder/suicide. Oh, wow that was convoluted. Maybe it's funnier to say that Joe Rogan went from being a low rent Seanbaby to a Goebbels lite, just asking the questions. For real comedy value imagine me having this conversation with a cab driver and trying to cite evidence from my phone. That definitely didn't happen Wednesday.
