Fuck James Woods.

That's unfortunate, I liked Oppenheimer. Always sucks to find out someone involved was a total dickweasel.

There's just so many people that work on movies and finance them that there has got to be a 100℅ chance that every great movie has a dickweasle wedged in the process somewhere.

look at the early trump cabinet. Lots of hollwood money there

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

There are other, better kinds of weasel.

Forget it Jake, it's Hollywood.

I heard about the wildfires yesterday, and thought: "ain't it the rich people who have homes in that area?"

:)

:( to all the people who aren't rich I'm sorry

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 36 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

There is like 6 fires, but one is a :) fire and the other five are probably :( fires.

[–] hobovision@lemm.ee 34 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

All of the fires are :(

While the palisades fire is showing a lot of very rich folks that their money doesn't make them immune to fire, there are a lot of relatively regular people who were barely hanging on to their homes in a very expensive area who lost everything and could be financially ruined forever.

Don't get me wrong, vanishinlgy few of those in the palisades were poor before the fire. But a lot could be now if they were uninsured or if their insurance fucks them over.

There's a bunch of apartment buildings in the area that burned down too. Families who were protected by rent control lost their apartment and now where do they go?

Your comment reminds me of how hurricane Sandy turned into an opportunity to rezone and gentrify affected neighborhoods in New York. The poor always lose, the rich always win: https://apnews.com/article/superstorm-sandy-disparities-042c69728c10e92837360b8b31704eac

To the AI-controlled "free market"

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 22 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

I'm sure the :) fire gets prioritized too.

Lots of actors whose work you appreciated lost their homes. I'm not defending rich people, but many of these folks actually earned it, not all inherited or squatted on wealth. Anthony Hopkins, Cary Elwes, John Goodman, Jeff Bridges, Billy Crystal among others lost homes. I'm sure a lot of amazing Hollywood memorabilia went up in flames too.

E: Why the negativity? Just generic hating on rich people with no nuance? I draw the line at when people use their wealth, personally or politically, to put downward pressure on people's wages, benefits, and quality of life, doubly so if they personally benefit from it like getting a bonus for layoffs. If you want to hate on wealth save it for the execs trying to use AI to put these people out of a job. People like Goodman walked the line to support their unions. Show a little flexibility before you throw more torches on the fire.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

How did you know I liked all of those actors’ work? I feel predictable

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

They all have enough to recover with ease, aside from a few lost artworks and memorabilia.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Except the things that cant be replaced with money.

Your kids first shoes, wedding photos, family heirlooms, the funny thing about rich people is that they are still people.

What is the bottom text ranting about? No ceasefire from what? Kill who all?

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 74 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

Palestinians, I would imagine.

He made it out. Damn.

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 46 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

First I've heard of him being a dick. Adding the name to the pile.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

He came out as a giant dick like 20 years ago.

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 33 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Really? Even Family Guy has been making fun of his for his racist rants for like 20 years at this point. He’s like famously one of the biggest dipshits in Hollywood

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

TBH I thought that was part of the joke about him replacing the dog who is racist because I guess some dogs just are.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 16 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Family Guy talks a lot of smack about a lot of people I have literally never heard of, and would have to look up.

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 8 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

He voices himself, maybe he doesn't get the joke

[–] noride@lemm.ee 3 points 1 hour ago

He doesn't watch the show and records his lines solo in a home studio.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 54 points 12 hours ago

Oh he's far worse than this, and has been for at least a decade. He lost his damned mind a while ago.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago (13 children)

Is the point of mentioning Oppenheimer to get people not to buy it or what?

James Woods needs to stop snorting so much coke. He's a shitbag cokehead.

[–] Not_mikey@slrpnk.net 8 points 10 hours ago

Should switch to molly, maybe he'd learn some fucking empathy then.
