Welcome back! It’s been six months since we last did this. You all remember how it goes? Blinds start promptly at noon EST. Plan to go until 9/10 tonight. Ignore your family. Pour yourself a drink. Get comfy. Get excited. Drop a gif to bookmark this thread. Tag your friends. Let get weird. And let’s go. And remember, we’re not truly free until Britney is.

January 12, 2021
Back in the 90's, a screenwriter and his writing partner had a meeting at the home of this married A+ list mostly movie actor. He is permanently A list now, but back when this happened was arguably the biggest actor on the planet, even if the one named singer didn't seem to care for him much.
The two writers are let inside, and wait near the front entrance. After a while, our actor comes down the stairs, wearing only a bathrobe and nothing beneath. He talks to them, takes a copy of the script, and discusses some story points.
While they're chatting, two blonde models, wearing next to nothing, walk down the stairs. Our actor doesn't really acknowledge them. They walk out the front door.
The actor keeps chatting. A car pulls up out the front. The screenwriters hear car doors open and shut, and the car driving off. They keep talking to the actor.
While they're chatting, two new women, both of whom look like models, walk into the front door. They walk past the actor and the screenwriters, and up the stairs. Our actor, still wearing his bathrobe, says to the guys, "Okay, thanks for all this, I'll see you at the next meeting in a week or two", and walks back up the stairs following the women. The two screenwriters let themselves out, and walk off to their car.

I just showered and put on my soft pants. No plans for the day other than to live here and have drinks. Hope my kid is ready to watch movies all day.

#1 - If I gave you this actor's name and asked you if he was ever nominated for an Oscar, you would say of course because of this movie or that movie. Nope. It all goes back to the film most people think should have got him an Oscar. It won some. When the stories got out about what he did to his female lead co-star, he had no shot and she reminded people over the years, so he never even made a short list.
#2 - This actress who seems to have become even more popular in the last few years, than she was as a movie actress in the latter part of the 80's. There was a movie made in the late 80's that was very forward and very sexual and had the early 80's villain in a big role. Anyway, our actress was up for the role that went to a model/actress, but wouldn't sleep with the producer. The other two female leads did.
#3 - This early 80's movie is a classic. It starred at least three current A+ listers. It was also the first movie where this A list actor who peaked around that time and is an Oscar winner/nominee is such an a-hole. He hooked up with his co-star who I refer to here sometimes as Susan Lucci. When he had too much to drink and couldn't perform he verbally abused her and trashed her and didn't stop doing so, even in public.
#4 - This mid-90's classic movie got off to a rough start. The back story has always been that this current A+/A lister was recast, because she looked too young. Well, she was super young, so yeah. The truth is, she quit because there were too many scenes where she was forced to do love scenes and sex scenes and she was way way underage. Oh, and get this. The A+ list mostly movie actor who was A+ list then and now, blamed the underage actress and said she wanted him to do the things that were done to her.
#1 - Richard Gere/An Officer And A Gentleman/Debra Winger
#2 - Elizabeth McGovern/Sex Lies & Videotape/James Spader
#3 - The Big Chill/William Hurt/Glenn Close
#4 - "Romeo + Juliet"/Natalie Portman/Leonardo DiCaprio

I’m pretty sure Natalie Portman talked about #4 publicly. I remember her saying that she intentionally had a very serious public persona because she was scared of how sexualized some were trying to make her.

I have written about this family before. I have written how extremely messed up it has been for decades. You had the mom who was the stage mom from hell. She would do whatever it took to make her kids famous. She loved sexing up her youngest child (A- list) to make producers want to cast her. There was a huge fight and the daughter went her own direction, which was under the tutelage of her older sister. Her older sister had also been an actress but will never get as high on the ladder. The older sister runs an acting school and is in the middle of a nasty divorce because she was sexting and hooking up with a client. The older sister has her own kids and she stage moms them much the way her own mother did. That would be crazy enough, but there is so much more. How about the time, during an acting class she made her students use a loaded gun for a scene, so it would feel more real. Oh, and then lied to the police about it. How about the charging students you manage, coaching fees, even though that is illegal. How about that production of Grease that you didn't buy rights to and that you ever so slightly tweaked to try and get away with it. You don't even call it Grease any longer, but charged people to come watch it. Does your actress daughter know you spent all her money that wasn't protected in her Coogan account? Are you going to pay her back? How about the charging of students to make a film in your classes and then taking producer credits on the short films they make? You really have turned into your mother.

January 5, 2021
The death and not death and then death of the former B+ list actress this week, reminded me of something similar that happened a few decades back. See, the original plan was for this A- list actor to take his own death. The entire thing had been in the works for close to a year. Detailed planning. There were people who were hired to say they witnessed the death. There were press releases written announcing the death. Everything down to the last detail. It was all going to happen on July 4th. The story was that he was going to be at the beach in Los Angeles and got pulled out to sea by a riptide current. The original story was going to be that he was eaten by a shark, but people give him for dead really easily in that scenario. His plan was to return from the dead with some great tale about being lost at sea. This was all set to go. It was so set in stone that when he actually did die six weeks earlier, there were press releases sent out that said he had been lost at sea. It is one of the reasons people always wonder whether he is still alive or faked his own death.

Naming names of gross actors (wow, Richard Gere being a dick!) is a good start!
I've already had coffee and a mimosa.
Here's hoping for a solid kindness blind, an old timey murder blind, and more naming of names!!!!
