Have a nice day.

I avoid Hanks only because I can never stop seeing Tom Hanks, no matter what role he’s playing. If transparency is one’s personality becoming invisible in the presence of their persona (as seen in roles played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, Daniel Day Lewis, Meryl Streep), then Hanks is, to me, almost opaque. And that opacity breaks the movie magic spell for me.
I can understand why someone might feel the same way about Spacey. I don’t feel he ‘disappears’ in some of the roles he plays.

I’ve semi-joked before that his finest role was as Hopper in A Bug’s Life, because it’s the only time that he entirely disappeared into a character.

I enjoy Tom Hanks and the various roles he’s been in. I have an easier time suspending my belief with his movies vs other actors (Tom Cruise for one). But then again this is all subjective.
Spacey has been more relegated to being a neutral kind of actor for me. Honestly i forget he’s even doing movies or has been in certain movies unless the conversation pivots to specifically talk about him. I don’t hate or like him, he’s just there. But knowing that he’s a creep will definitely make it easier for me to ignore him further.

That big-headed worm thing he did. He did it pretty well. There is at least one other guy who does it better, I wouldn’t even know where to look for his name.
Yeah, uh, Usual Suspects, American Beauty and 7… maybe better for his involvement, maybe not.
Good movies though.
I just have no use for him anymore.
That was a long time ago.
There are still those who think of Tom Cruise as an actor because they enjoyed watching him dance in his underwear.

You’re not missing much. It tastes of chicken.
I, I don’t like all that “nice guy” smarm.
Fuck’im.
I’m in my early twenties and have something of a baby face. But- the moment you think you’re treading a line - run the fuck away.
Just because you have a biological unction to commit violence doesn’t make it OK. Part of being in civilized society is upholding the moral code we’ve collectively developed. Even when it hurts. Even when you’re not the one initiating.

Frank T.J. Mackey, Magnolia, 1999. True, the part was literally written for Cruise but man, he completely owned it.

Yeah… you’re right.
The accusation isn’t of molestation. That’s your pushing it to an extreme place for the sake of, I assume either argument or passion. Reign those both in some? Neither are on the path to justice.
Do you remember every inappropriate thing you did in your 20s?
Or were you actually never inappropriate in your 20s?
Not were you ever THAT inappropriate, but were you ALWAYS SO PERFECT?
is there NO CHANCE something you don’t remember from 30 years ago, happened, and you were a douchebag, even a CRIMINAL, this one time and don’t remember, and never got caught or held accountable?
AND please recall the part where the No was respected in all this. I’m not defending Spacey, I am trying to protect us all from seeking revenge on someone who may well have learned their lesson decades ago.
And reminding you this isn’t a charge of assault. That woul;d be on a police record. It’s a story, recalled 30 years later, by two grown men, about one of them being really inappropriate - and the other one carrying that burden - and then the one accused actually behaving like sort of a human being about it.
Don;'t punish him for Weinsteins misdeeds, is my point. Different accusation, different pattern, different outcome. DIFERENT PROBLEM.
I see a lot of people calling for his head and I don’t get it. He took No for an answer…
he shouldn’t have asked, actively or passively.
But he took no for an answer…

what felony?
Are you forgetting he took no for an answer?
Again, ought not have been seeking that, was not at all okay… but the felony is the sex, not the request for it. That’s just unclassy - and hardly surprising from a young actor TBH. Thespians are of course, known for their good boundaries and minimal sex drives, right??
But a felony is if he said yes… or if Spacey didnt accept the no. NEITHER OF WHICH IS ALLEGED.
Has you imagination run away with you? Maybe just a wee bit?
It’s not like Spacey is trying to gaslight the guy, or tell us it never happened… that would be awful. Sounds like he admits he could have been that guy, then. I bet he was.
But is he that way, today? Is there a pattern across all the years since then of him using coercion to get his way? Of violating people, lying about it, covering it up, and leaving them struggling to cope, alone and powerless?
Not that I know of, but please do share that evidence when you find it.

Bourbonator, or so says Urban Dictionary. The most legit of sources.
Or:
uisgeophile addresses the more amateur love we share for whisky. … usquebaugh–the terms from which the word “whisky” (or “whiskey”) is derived.

ok. Boubonator > Uisgeophile (which honestly sounds like someone who likes certain bodily fluids).

It doesn’t matter if he took no for an answer. It is never acceptable for a grown man to sexually assaulting an eight-grade boy in the first place, regardless if the child was okay with it or not.

Attempted statutory rape is a crime - soliciting prostitution is a crime - even if you don’t actually have sex.
