^What case was that again?
Ah, I see. Rob Reiner was another name that came up, because, if memory serves, Feldman described the person as being extremely well-known and well-connected to this day, and having a beard. Hopefully Feldman eventually names names, though he's such a desperate opportunist that it would be hard to take him seriously.
It seems odd to me that it would be Sheen, given that he is a notorious womanizer.

I’m not sure why Rob Reiner’s name would come up. I don’t think he had anything to do with Lucas and the abuse Haim endured happened on that movie set.
Though Corey Feldman did work with Reiner on Stand By Me. Maybe that’s where that theory came from?

^Got it.
Perhaps I'm mixing up Haim's abuse with Feldman's, but yeah, I remember Reiner's name coming up somewhere (seems outlandish, but you never know). Feldman was hinting at some guy who was and still is huge in the business, and bearded.
Apparently, the Stand By Me shoot was full of misbehaviour, including some local kids introducing the child actors to dope, which is where Feldman started down the wrong path. That's what I remember, but don't quote me.

Maybe he meant a different type of "beard?"
Well, Edwards did point a pretty damning finger at Gary Goddard, a known associate of Bryan Singer's, and hardly a lowly production assistant.
On a related note, I noticed Singer and Goddard's partially-completed, big-budget, stage-show-movie-whatever thingy BROADWAY 4D was recently removed from both of their IMDb pages, and the formerly impressive cast list deleted. Something tells me that one's never gonna see the light of day.

Gary and Singer were tight. Virtually every picture you see of either of them during this accusation period has the other in it as well.

I have < full confidence in someone who has surgically/chemically chosen to alter their gender rather than just accepting they're gay and move on with life.
Sorry, it's just me...

Where does accepting that they’re gay fit into that?

Going down this side path, I once took care of a seven year old boy whose mother was in tears because he just refused to accept the fact that he was a boy. He would put on dresses and scream "I'm a GIRL!.". That kid was not gay. He had no sexual awakening at all. He just knew in his heart that he was a girl in a boy's body. It really opened my eyes about the plight of the transgender

We could do "What ifs" as far as our imaginations will take us.
However, we are still talking about a very VERY small group of people.

Do you really not understand the difference between sexuality and gender identity?

Interesting.
I couldn’t help but notice that Pixar won best animated short last Sunday. And it’s a short directed by two women. I can’t help but feel like that was orchestrated.

Why would that be "orchestrated"? Not everything is a conspiracy. Sometimes a movie just gets an award.

A Pixar short winning an award? I find that hard to believe. It must be because women!

Pixar basically forced the creation of the Best Feature Animation category.
A new award was considered this year that most agreed was a move to ensure that Black Panther got Oscar recognition.
When Weinstein was at the heights of gaming Oscar season it was when his company was united with Disney.
Disney has major sway.
And Pixar is in damage control mode.

Goddamnit. I tapped out of Politics for awhile because of the “Uber-Woke” talking down to everybody ... shit’s bled over to here now.
Melasnus stated his position and said it comes from a place of ignorance. He didn’t say he wasn’t open to discussion, he said “I don’t know.” Rather than trying to educate him and have a discussion you all just slam him and make fun of him. This whole place is just getting toxic anymore.
Is it so damned hypocritical to demand everybody sees the world from your point of view while refusing to accept that others may have grown up in a different environment.
