Man, I've made 4 sexual predator predictions of which now 1 (kevin spacey) is convicted, 1 is suspected (brand) 2 to go (jared leto and quentin tarantino, you old perv).
I should do this for a living
Tarantino isn't even subtle.
All of his movies are just filler for his foot fetish.
That has literally zero bearing on whether or not he's a predator. Jesus christ.
I respectfully disagree. He isn't even hiding the fact that he has a foot fetish and uses his power dynamic to coerce actresses to do whatever he wants to them. His actions paint a portrait of someone I would suspect of being a predator.
Yes, except in this specific case that isn't what happened at all. This scene was pretty much improvised. Still a creep, though.
Why do you think it was improvised? Can you show me something that supports that?
Leto has been long suspected and accused https://www.themarysue.com/jared-leto-controversy-explained/
I had no idea about Jared Leto. I was a huge 30 Seconds to Mars fan. This article, if true makes me upset I thought so highly of him.
Because he can sing? He was always a huge creep.
Well, 30 seconds to mars had some really good albums. I didn’t know much about Leto beyond his music.
I'm not sure we agree on what a prediction is.
Well, he's a freaky little man, that's clear. We're predicting criminality. Proof, or at least clear accusations.
And yeah, you kind of assume he's already been to court over something, and you just missed it somehow. He's the kind of white guy who looks for excuses to holler the N-word in his movies while Sam Jackson puts up with it, there's no way he's not putting roofies in drinks.
In Tarantino's defense, the use of the N-word did serve to make the villain significantly easier to hate, which I imagine was the intent.
Is Kevin Spacey convicted yet?
