Yes, that one quote taken out of context is a clear indicator that a beloved filmmaker rapes children. No giant leaps or assumptions are being made there at all. You should get this info right to the proper authorities so no one else is harmed.

Lucas also had Starkiller loving a 15 year old maid in a closet in his original Star Wars script. I think he's just a creepy goon though.

OK, so as probably most of you know, Corey Feldman is always talking about "Big Hollywood guys" who were pedophiles, who abused him (and apparently Corey Haim) when they were kids. And Feldman states that this guy is huge in Hollywood, and Feldman could never name him because nobody would believe and he'd be destroyed publicly/die mysteriously/whatever conspiracy nonsense.

I don't really find pedophiles in Hollywood even remotely hard to believe, especially given guys like Victor Salvo who went to massive careers AFTER serving time for sodomizing the 12-year-old star of his horror film about clowns and filming it :gonk: Obviously Hollywood has some loving issues, given that Francis Ford Coppola was one of the guys who gave Salvo another chance as I recall. By the way, you can easily google 'Victor Salvo' or 'Corey Feldman' or whatever and find articles about all this stuff so I'm not really gonna bother.

Anyway... I don't know. It struck me as oddly concerning. I wouldn't be at all shocked or surprised to learn Steven Spielberg is a closet pedophile - he certainly seems to fit the bill of someone who was involved in a ton of projects and is also untouchable with a nearly unimpeachable reputation as the sort of quintessential American filmmaker of his generation. But I also happen to noticed that Spielberg finds a way to cast little kids in like, every single one of his movies. With the odd exception of Munich. It's creepy!!

Sorry about the randomness of this post. It's been on my mind. Goddamn Indiana Jones.

To also comment on the sort of overlooked part of that rant can I also say that if you've been convicted of a crime and served your time, I don't really find it to be horrible that you can get work again as long as you don't try to hide what you did and don't do anything else.

My favorite part of how Alex Jones has become just a slightly redder/madder/nuder than usual Trump supporter is how it confirms, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that if there really was an intergalactic reptiloid Majestic 12 conspiracy, it would take them two tries at most to recruit Jones and pals

Gdi someone just rear ended my car while I was stopped at a red light :/ the only accidents I've ever been in have been jokers rear ending me while my car is stationary. This woman had just taken a left on red and was missing a headlight so you know she's rugged as gently caress

I'm fine, I didn't even get her insurance or anything (stupid of me tbh but it just didn't seem worth the hassle+ being late to work for) I just have to spend the next four years paying off a car with dents and a crack in the bumper now

This is really silly especially because you can literally never lose a fender-bender case and she would have had to pay for it.

I still can't believe alt-right weirdoes seriously try to bandy about Pizzagate as a legitimate scandal. I mean at least Viletat and others actually died during Benghazi, you can scare up a lot of controversy if you have actual victims to lie about, even if it's just like 4 guys.

The part where I got really pissed off and needed to take a break from all this poo poo was when I realized the same people who got real mad about pizzagate think Sandy Hook was fake because it's less conducive to their political agenda.

I never knew about that whole 'Pizzagate" thing until recently but it's so insanely absurd that I have trouble believing it's not some elaborately planned troll, it's just so perfect. Is it an insane conspiracy theory to believe that pizzagate was created by Trump supporters in a haphazard effort to basically smear democrats as pedophiles i mean how else does it make sense

Did they actually object to anything I had to say about the movie or was it just because I actually wrote five whole paragraphs about it?

On that note, I can't wait to actually be able to discuss that movie because it's really cool. Do we have a thread for it here yet because I might make a thread though it'll mostly just be what I wrote in the my Sundance thread with slight adjustments.

Unrelated (or at least mostly unrelated...well related in that it was a Sundance short, unrelated in that it's a new topic though it is a topic we were discussing), did anyone actually watch that short I posted "Speaking Is Difficult", because really the most striking thing in that entire thing is after shot after shot of business as usual in places where horrific shootings took place when they get to Sandy Hook it's just a construction yard now because of course they tore down that school because who would want to ever send a child there again?

They were upset by the length and the fact that it contained spoilers, which here's a spoiler, the spoiler rules thread for BBV stipulates that spoilers are fair game in any thread with the movie title in it, so hmm.

Sadly Get Out is not out until tomorrow or Friday depending on area. I'm pretty excited to see it and I think you should make a thread for it this weekend once more people have a chance to see it. I liked your write-up though and that's why I attempted to share it with the Get Out thread down there.

When it first started gaining ground people would post screenshots of anonymous 4 chan posts as evidence of connections.

Nah, it's definitely gotten way worse, what with the social media echo chambers and lovely publications willing to give the theories credence now being legitimized by opportunists like Trump's team, or even just Fox News. You can basically live in an insular bubble where every media outlet and online friend you have agrees that Pizzagate is totally a thing and only a biased liar would claim otherwise.
