Well, add James Woods to the list of “people I already didn’t give a fuck about, but know I know they’re total douchebags.”
Good for C.J. and his family.
I really found Woods to be an entertaining actor once. I still enjoy the image of James Woods facing an eternity of torment, but for different reasons now.
His last movie was 2016, his last TV appearance was 2017. Now he’s doing video game voice work. James Woods is irrelevant.
I think Martin Scorsese (and others in Hollywood) may have already known that Woods was a douchebag when he cast him as a seriously douchey douchebag in Casino.
Yeah I actually thought maybe he was, had been, or was trying to be their local congress critter. Apparently he’s an actor I never heard of. And now this is my first impression of him… well it’s convenient!
I’d forgotten all about that character; probably intentionally.
Sanity Maintenance Reflex.
Like many public figures who feel compelled to paint all LGBT people as depraved perverts, Woods himself has a rather checkered past on that front himself.
Funny thing…so many folks think of Woods as an RI native. He was born in Utah. Given his right wing asshole tendencies…I’d say he has a lot more Utah in him than Rhode Island.
We take full credit for Viola Davis though.
Good for this kid. You keep on doing you!
I might get raked over the coals for this but…he was pretty good in “Salvador”.
Same here, but he’s another one who exhausted all his goodwill with me. He was a talented and entertaining actor who decided to throw it all away year ago to become a public arsehole.
They made a great James Woods joke the other night on “Billions”: the U.S. Attorney (Paul Giamatti) is leaning on a completely opportunistic slimeball and tells him:
you just keep popping up in her life, suddenly, when things are going well for her. You’re like that James Woods character in Casino … come to think of it, maybe just like James Woods. Anyway…
His two best roles, by far, were a segment of Cat’s Eye and as Hades in Hercules. His reputation behind the scenes has been so toxic for so long that he seems to have embraced it and given up any pretense of being an actor awhile back.
I can remember in the 1980s, a pink necktie made me gender creative. How times have changed.
Can i say Fuck James Woods?
You know what. I think i’m gunna.
Fuck James Woods.
My single earring caused heart palpitations among other scientists and engineers back in the day
