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

All of his movies are just filler for his foot fetish.

[–] Soulg@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That has literally zero bearing on whether or not he's a predator. Jesus christ.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Why do you think it was improvised? Can you show me something that supports that?

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.

[–] RobertOwnageJunior@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because he can sing? He was always a huge creep.

[–] exohuman@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Well, 30 seconds to mars had some really good albums. I didn’t know much about Leto beyond his music.

quentin tarantino

I'm not sure we agree on what a prediction is.

[–] jayrodtheoldbod@midwest.social 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] eltimablo@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

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?
