Timeless Appeal posted:I mean Walhberg is an attempted murderer and has shown very little remorse over the fact so not really a beacon of good dude. More than that, he wanted the racially motivated assault he committed struck from his record because it was interferring with his ability to open a business of some kind. He also said in an interview that he had learned to forgive himself before revealing that he had never contacted the victim of the racially motivated assault.

Snowman_McK posted:Wahlberg's a piece of poo poo and has been his whole life. It's way the gently caress worse than that. It was interfering with his ability to become an honorary cop. Because he wanted to be one after playing cops in so many movies. Though honestly, he's from Boston and the honorary thing would have happened in Boston, attacking an old guy in a racially motivated attack at 17 means he's overqualified for Boston PD.

Yeah he's a partner in a burger chain with his brothers that's called "Wahlburgers" (no idea if I spelled that right, but you get the idea) the two things probably got confused either in your own head or in the head of whoever told you. There's a reality show about the burger chain.

Skwirl posted:Yeah, he just seems like both the kinda guy who might miss a cue in a scene once or twice and wouldn't to that kind of stage direction with the same grace as Lily Tomlin. The entire M.O. of these guys is they never antagonize people with any real pull. Like sure, Tomlin is a legend, but she's not going to be headlining cinemas for the next 30 years.

Apparently Trinh forgave him, and was already parlty blind before the attack. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...e-did-that.html Grains of salt all around.

The thing I don't get is what anyone gains from working with Russell to begin with. THREE KINGS and I HEART HUCKABEES are good, everything else is middling. Why bother catching heat for working with mediocrity.

I think because the story was "he attacked and blinded a man in one eye" when it (might be) "he attacked a man" which is quite a bit less concerning.

Exactly how badly can you beat a random stranger in a racially motivated attack before it stops being acceptable then?

David O Russell's last 4 films have an average of 3 acting Oscar nominations. His films usually are Oscar darlings, so it's no surprise actors want that prestige even if it means dealing with a piece of poo poo.

Honestly, my experience is that Hollywood is built around bullies on all sorts of levels. Like there are people who are absolute nobodies in the grand scheme of things, but still act like loving tyrants.I can totally understand Russel's bullshit genuinely not registering to someone who has been desensitized to bullshit like his.

Yeah it might just be genuinely tough to keep track of who is a piece of poo poo since it's so widespread. I work in the games industry and remembering which companies are known for being lovely to their employees is hard.

Basically every industry is like that though. Anywhere you go there's people who, like you said, are totally irrelevant the minute they step outside of their little bubble but they've carved out a little fiefdom and they're gonna get off on lording that power over anyone who steps inside it.

I think the other thing is the sense of "gratitude" that was instilled in people. People at mercenary blue collar or white collar jobs are allowed to not like their jobs or treat it as just work. But in Hollywood stuff, there is a sense of you being lucky to be there at all and I think that really exasperates the tyrannical attitude at all levels. And it just seems all more ingrained. Video games and music probably have a similar problem. Timeless Appeal fucked around with this message at 12:35 on Jun 5, 2021 |

I have worked in a vaguely similar "prestige" business and yeah, the whole "working here is soooooo awesome we know we can treat you like poo poo" attitude you get from managers and their hypnotized thralls is sickening.

You are distorting what I wrote. I'm not trying to minimise what he did. I did not say it was "not a big deal". My point is that it is worse to beat someone until they are partially blind, than to beat them and leave them fully sighted. A beating that leaves someone permanently disabled is worse than a beating that does not. All racist attacks are bad. Some are more extreme than others. Wahlberg is a poo poo person either way. His PR apparatus is likely trying to cloud discussion of this so that it's unclear if he did, or did not, partially blind someone in a racist attack.

Timeless Appeal posted:I think film and TV production sort of amplify it all. Part of it is that there is a sort of high school mentality to the industry. People end up hanging out so much with their crew and there really is a breakdown of boundaries. Like most workplaces at least pretend they care about life/work balance outside of like... doctors or migrant workers. The key factor is that everyone is freelance. There is zero job security and the vast majority of hiring is done on word of mouth and recommendations. Nobody, particularly lower down the ranks, ever wants to be seen as “difficult” or a troublemaker. So the most appalling treatment - in terms of abuse, stress, workload, hours and pay - is just accepted as Normal.

I'm generally more surprised by child stars who aren't hosed up, but especially if they worked under a tyrannical pedophile like Dan Schneider.
