The Cesspool That is Hollywood


Polanski's rape victim tells all in her new book


Like every other teenager in Southern California in 1977, 13-year-old Samantha Geimer was an aspiring actress.

She ultimately did become famous, but only as “The Girl” raped by Roman Polanski in one of the biggest scandals in the history of Hollywood.

The Cesspool That is Hollywood

James Woods criticizes Obama, says he doesn't expect to find work in Hollywood again

Veterans were turned away from open-air monuments, while illegal aliens are invited into public federal spaces to protest against their supposedly insensitive host whose laws they are daily breaking

Actor James Woods has been quite vocal with his criticism of President Barack Obama in the wake of the government slimdown, and the “Too Big to Fail” star said, as a result, he now expects to struggle to find work in Hollywood.

“This President is a true abomination. To have barricaded the WW2 vets, but allow illegal aliens privilege...” Woods tweeted on Oct. 8.

But Woods, 66, was just warming up. The actor also called Obama “just vile. A small, small man.”

We should build a culture that celebrates Life, that judges a childless life to be an incomplete life. We should build a culture that makes abortion safe, legal, and shameful. We should brand sexual libertines as selfish children. But let's keep the criminal law out of it.



I am not anti-abortion -- however -- I will point out one thing about where criminal law should be involved.

After a fetus is viable (can live outside the womb), it should not be aborted (except for the sake of the mothers life and medical health). The US is in special company -- except for China and North Korea, the US is the only country that allows abortion of viable fetuses. Company I don't think we should want to be associated with.


I will predict that as medicine increasingly shows how fetuses feel EXTREME pain from the chemicals or from the "cutting up" of the body of the unborn as it grows, that the cut off line will move back to much earlier than viability...Roe V. Wade or not.

i.e. THAT should be a crime.

Hollywood Robert Redford said racism causes a lot of the criticism that Barack Obama receives.

Redford is a member of the 1% (actually the .01%) with a net worth of 160 million. The snide and superior Hollywood star doesn't have to rub shoulders with lower middle class that is being marginalized and impoverished.

James Woods was in five productions in 2013, including being a regular on that raw Hollywood series "Ray Donovan" so he was just blowing smoke for the benefit of the comedy channel also known as "Fox News."

As for Redford, his long and distinguished career may be capped off this year with an Oscar for Best Actor in THIS (he's already won for producing and directing).

As for his it-must-be-racism observation, I bet he can't imagine what else it could be since it's nearly impossible to fathom from where the relentless attacks on the President come from otherwise. And what about those on the First Lady?! Can't think of any First Lady who's been attacked as much as she has for having a cause (childhood obesity!) just as every other First Lady has had a cause. And given how many states are trying to suppress voting to bar blacks and Hispanics and just plain poor people it definitely fits the big picture. James Woods called the President "just vile, a small, small man." I suppose a vile comment like that might not be racism, could be just idiotic instead...

Who would have thought electing (and overwhelmingly re-electing) a black man President of the United States, a pinnacle of racial tolerance by the great American majority, would have reignited so much latent racial hatred in an avid minority of vile, small, small men?

Thanks for the post though. Always appreciate it when you give me an opportunity (especially on an otherwise boring Friday) to lip off.

Men Who Never Grow Up – The ‘Puer Aeturnus Complex’


Puer Aeturnus is Latin for ‘Eternal Youth’. It is a concept from the psychology of Carl Jung and applies to those men who, even though they’re in their 30’s, 40’s or 50’s have retained the emotional characteristics of an adolescent.

The Puer is impulsive and impatient, has a low frustration tolerance and does not reflect. He isn’t only threatened by aging, but also by self-discipline, patience, duty, endurance and accepting limitations. There is no time for standing still, tolerating conflict and solving problems. He has to be on the move “where the action is”.

Problems also arise when adapting to society. The Puer envisions himself as a bringer of meaning, rather than one who has to adapt. The inflated feelings of being superior, along with arrogance and defiance lead to difficulties at work and in relationships.

Quite a few Puers don’t make it to mid-life; many of them die early in the ‘fast lane’ of drugs or impulsive adventure. Some get lost in religious militancy or sell out to the ‘company’. Without consciousness, men with a Puer Aeternus complex always become victims to their impulsiveness and self-destructiveness or to collective movements like pathological materialism, political extremism or religious fanaticism.

The Cesspool That is Hollywood

Recruiting Scientologist celebrities and getting them to endorse Scientology to the public at large has always been very important to the Church of Scientology.

"The reason that celebrities would be interested is because it's a religion that fits pretty well with a celebrity kind of personality. It's very individualistic. It celebrates your individual identity as ultimately divine. It claims to give you ultimate power over your own mind, self, destiny, so I think it fits well with an actor personality.

And then the wealth question: These aren't people who need more wealth, but what they do need, or often want at least, is some kind of spiritual validation for their wealth and lifestyle, and Scientology is a religion that says it's OK to be wealthy, it's OK to be famous, in fact, that's a sign of your spiritual development. So it kind of is a spiritual validation for that kind of lifestyle.[9]"

Among the most well-known celebrity Scientologists are Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Juliette Lewis, Isaac Hayes, Kirstie Alley, Catherine Bell, Nancy Cartwright, Beck, Doug E. Fresh, Kelly Preston, Elisabeth Moss, Erika Christensen, Jason Lee, Edgar Winter, Giovanni Ribisi, Jenna Elfman, Anne Archer, Chick Corea and Julia Migenes.

"What if nearly everything you thought you knew about Matthew Shepard’s murder was wrong?

Shepard’s tragic and untimely demise may not have been fueled by his sexual orientation, but by drugs. For Shepard had likely agreed to trade methamphetamines for sex. And it killed him.

What if our most fiercely held convictions about the circumstances of that fatal night of October 6, 1998, have obscured other, more critical, aspects of the case? . . . None of this is idle speculation; it’s the fruit of years of dogged investigation by journalist Stephen Jimenez, himself gay.

In the course of his reporting, Jimenez interviewed over 100 subjects, including friends of Shepard and of his convicted killers, Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson, as well as the killers themselves. . . . In the process, he amassed enough anecdotal evidence to build a persuasive case that Shepard’s sexuality was, if not incidental, certainly less central than popular consensus has lead us to believe."
— Aaron Hicklin, Editor-in-Chief of Out magazine, in The Advocate

"This is an amazing book! A painful story about a horrific event that left one man dead and many lives in pieces. . . It documents the original failure of the media, the community and the criminal justice system to find the real truth. . . . Steve Jimenez has done a remarkable job of removing himself from the story to tell it with pure, heart wrenching honesty and integrity. I know, I caught Russell Henderson the night of the murder. I recovered the gun and washed blood from my hands. . . .
— Flint Waters, a former Laramie police officer and drug enforcement agent for the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation

"Fifteen years ago . . . Aaron McKinney swung his .357 Magnum for the final time like a baseball bat into the skull of Matthew Shepard. Shepard was tied low to a post, arms behind his back, in a prairie fringe of Laramie, Wyoming. . . . The murder was so vicious, the aftermath so sensational, that the story first told to explain it became gospel before anyone could measure it against reality. That story was born, in part, of shock and grief and the fact that gay men like Shepard have been violently preyed upon by heterosexuals. It was also born of straight culture and secrets. . . .

Now comes Stephen Jimenez with The Book of Matt, and this most detailed effort to rescue the protagonists from caricature is, with a few exceptions, being coolly ignored or pilloried for 'blaming the victim.' . . . Jimenez does not polemicize or tread deeply into the psyches of the main figures. Rather, he explores the drug-fueled world they inhabited, and evokes its thick air of violence. . . . Jimenez spent thirteen years to tell his story. . . In this story, Shepard and McKinney were neither lamb nor wolf; they were human commodities, working for rival drug circles to support their habits, and occasionally forced to pay their debts in sex. The Matthew Shepard Foundation, the whole machinery that benefited from the story of a desexualized Bad Karma Kid but otherwise happy-in-his-skin Matthew, that used his horrid death as a banner for hate crime laws, have slammed the book. Kinder reviewers have said Jimenez has made the case less political. On the contrary. What impelled McKinney to loathe his desires, and Shepard relentlessly, dangerously to test himself, and Henderson to follow orders? Violence lacerated these young men long before the murder, and it will not be diminished or resisted by myths and vengeful laws."
— JoAnn Wypijewski in The Nation

Kabbalah - The Trendy Religion of Hollywood

Kabbalahans like Lindsay Lohan and Madonna wear a red string around there left wrist for protection and to ward off the "Evil Eye"

The Kabbalah Centre has a strong belief in astrology and asserts that astrology has been part of Judaism since its inception.

It is not recommended that men masturbate, as the sperm are abandoned souls that become demons. :lol: :lol:

Kabbalah members include Britney Spears, Roseanne Barr, Sandra Bernhard, Anthony Kiedis, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Mick Jagger, Jerry Hall, Lucy Liu, Alex Rodriguez, Rosie O'Donnell, Naomi Campbell, Donna Karan, Elizabeth Taylor, Mischa Barton, Paris Hilton,[16][17] Nicole Richie, James Van their Beek, and Heather McComb.

According to media sources, Britney Spears and Jerry Hall stopped studying with the Kabbalah Centre in 2006 and 2005. Jerry Hall, ex-wife of Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger, decided not to participate in the Kabbalah Centre after she was asked to tithe ten percent of her revenues. Paris Hilton has preferred to refocus on her Roman Catholic faith, although Catholics through the centuries have studied Kabbalah.[18]
