I wonder too if this is poor leadership not understanding that the streaming era is just a return to classic TV. Like hey, swinging and missing on a high cost major blockbuster is more devastating than greenlighting a ton of lower budget movies with up and coming actors.

Aka I like Chris Pratt or the Rock just fine but one movie a year is enough??

I still like the characters that Spacey portrayed. I admire his work I don’t admire him as a person.


People these days have no ability to separate the art from the artist. It's a shame. I guess it's their loss if they deprive themselves of perfectly good art because they don't like who made it.


I will gladly deprive myself of “art” made by admitted and convicted rapists. To each their own I suppose. I used to love Spacey.


It’s very hard to draw the line. I see your point I just find it intractable.

For example what if I told you that one of the executive producers of your favorite movie is a horrible felon? What if it was the editor ? Do you background check all of the contributors?

It also seems to me that people who achieved great things were either deeply traumatized or really disturbing individuals. A regular 9-5er who is an excellent family member, friend and has great morals rarely achieves greatness. I guess it really begs the question is it worth it?

I think historically we relied on the great work these horrible folks and conveniently scrubbed their horrible backgrounds.


You can separate the art from the artist and still not want the artist to make money.


Who are you responding to? Cause it’s not my comment.
