Kevin Spacey trial underwhelming

[Spymaster]

He hasn’t denied some of them, though

What is it he's said to have done and admitted to?

 

[redcogs]

American Beauty, a great film imo, can now be viewed without any uncomfortable feelings. It is imperfect, but i trust the jury system. KS will hopefully grace the big screen once again.

does this mean the final season of house of cards didn't need to be rubbish?

You can read as well as I can

 

[Spymaster]

What are you referring to though, specifically. Genuine question.

Anthony Rapp for a start

Hmm, I found it pretty ick when it came out (before these allegations). Can't really imagine watching it again.

 

[redcogs]

Aye the off switch can be a very useful device when you are unimpressed...

 

[Santino]

American Beauty was always shit

 

[Spymaster]

Anthony Rapp for a start

What about him?

 

[T & P]

This is a difficult debate that has been had many times in the past about many actors, musicians and artists, and will continue to be had in the future about others. But whereas I fully respect those with a different opinion, I’m not going to stop rewatching The Usual Suspects from time to time and enjoying it thoroughly as one of my all-time greatest films. At least not at this point.

They should reshoot the final season

No it wasn’t

 

[Tones]

Anthony Rapp for a start

He sued Spacey and failed to prove his case to even the civil standard.

 

[Santino]

No it wasn’t

I would contend that, on the contrary, it was.

 

[Yossarian]

Looks like there'll be a hung jury if American Beauty gets put on trial for being shit

 

[PR1Berske]

"American Beauty" was always a bit borderline at the time. He's done better things that have aged better.

 

[PR1Berske]

"Better". I'm just typing "better" now.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

The speed at which he was dropped by Hollywood made me give credence to the claims.

civil or criminal case?

The speed at which he was dropped by Hollywood made me give credence to the claims.

But he's been found not guilty so - legally speaking - suggesting that he is in fact guilty takes you, and this site, right into the realms of libel.

I agree he is legal cleared. My comment was only meant to be a commentary on the nature of Hollywood.

So much of Hollywood is insider business it is essentialy Impossible for us to get a clear impression.


My other comparison is the fact Harvey was outed long before any legal proceedings

 

[belboid]

In every film he’s good in, he plays a creep. Even if the character isn’t vile, he’s a creep.

Given a criminal jury has to decide on the basis of beyond all reasonable doubt rather than just probability, it’s up to the individual whether they believe he was just a creep in real life or something rather worse.

The real crime was awarding it Best Picture

that's better.

Are all actors who get typecast playing baddies actually those baddies, or just those who don't get convicted?

Swimming With Sharks was somewhat uncomfortable following both Weinstein and his own arrest

 

[redcogs]

Just completed BBC's 6th Commandment in which the main criminal character (Ben) is played excellently by a really sinister and psycho looking Irish guy. Found myself wondering if he will provoke strong reactions as he walks the streets of Cork. Hopefully not. He's only an actor assuming a role after all is said and done

Erudite stuff.
