No that poo poo was obvious by episode 8, and her being into women by episode 2.

Ratner has been known about in non-joke form for years, Munn went public about him jerking off with shrimp fat in like 2012/2013ish.

So yeah

quote:

In Olivia Munn’s memoir, “Suck It, Wonder Woman!: The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek,” the far-too-intimate details of a short relationship with a bigwig Hollywood director are amongst many tales she recalled from her early days in Hollywood. Details such as seeing, “a grown man in an oversized shirt holding his undersized manhood in hands glistening with shrimp fat.”

On Thursday, Ratner came clean, saying that he was that bigwig director, but denied ever having such glistening, self-pleasuring hands.

“I used to date Olivia Munn, I’ll be honest with everyone here. But when she was ‘Lisa.’ She wasn’t Asian back then,” he said. “She was hanging out on my set of ‘After the Sunset,’ I banged her a few times, but I forgot her. Because she changed her name. I didn’t know it was the same person and so when she auditioned for me for a TV show, I forgot her, she got pissed off, and so she made up all these stories about me eating shrimp and masturbating in my trailer. And she talked about my shortcomings.”

edit: i was also wrong about the timing, the book came out in 2010 and the news articles in 2011.

I wasn't surprised about Weinstein, some of his antics were covered pretty well in a book I (mostly) read about 10 years ago Down and Dirty Pictures. Don't recall there being any sexual stuff, just about how much of an insane rear end in a top hat he was/is to pretty much everyone.

He keeps things legal and consensual, as far as I know. Same with John Waters and Larry Clark; they probably (definitely) have hosed up urges or fascinations, but (again, AFAIK) have never actually done anything about it.

It's like Hal Hartley, kinda. While he made The Unbelievable Truth he fell deeply, pathologically in love with Adrienne Shelley (who, despite being 24, was playing a high school girl and looked about 14, especially with how tiny she was). His next film was Trust which, while being possibly the best film I have ever seen (no joke), is about a guy (Martin Donovan) who is in his mid-20s and just happens to look exactly like Hal Hartley, who falls in love with a high school dropout played by Adrienne Shelley (though it's heavily implied she's 18, not that that makes it any less weird). Their relationship is almost completely asexual, and in fact, it can be argued they aren't in love at all (it's one of the central themes of the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTok_lIkHPc )

The news broke years ago. He just used being gay to deflect it long before Kevin Spacey ever did, to the point where there were a lot of conspiracy theories that a bunch of men coming out to accuse him of giving them drugs and loving them when they were underaged meant that it was actually a conspiracy by homophobes to try and slander Singer for being an openly gay man in Hollywood.

I can't find the story but a few people seemed to think Singer had a lot to do with Brad Renfro's downward spiral and death.

I knew Renfro in the years leading up to his death (he lived in the same town and moved in the same circles as I did, and he used to invite me over quite often). We talked about a lot of dark poo poo he has been through but that never came up at all.

I saw a commercial for it recently where the tag for the episode was "What happens when the Crowd...goes too far?" with lots of shots of a mob attacking people.

Shouldn't that have been the first plot? And also the only one?
