Actor: Dwight Schultz
I was watching the 2010 version of the A-Team (great movie imo), and I wanted to know what cameos there were (because I suck at recognizing actors). Lo and behold, to my delight, the cross-over of all cross-overs: Star Trek and A-Team.
~I love it when a plan comes together.~
Edit: This just keeps getting better!!! 53:58 on Netflix.
Yeah the number of characters who I adored who have been tainted by the actors’ shitty political opinions is too damned high.
I know I can “love the art, hate the artist”, but c’mon man. Just let me have my characters and shut the fuck up while you collect your residuals.
I used to think that it was a shame that we started having more information about how horrible people are. I used to like Roseanne before I found out what an asshole she was. I used to like Bill Cosby. I used to like Lance Armstrong, Michael Jackson, and it even turns out that Michael Jordan is a huge asshole.
Where have all the heroes gone? If only we didn’t know how horrible these people are, we could still have heroes.
But then, I thought, what’s so great about having flawed heroes? That type of thinking is probably why people build cults of personality around politicians. Just get rid of the whole idea.
Celebrities who suck should just be written off, and if that means that we have to live with cover versions of Michael Jackson songs, I think that’s something I can live with.
Maybe this will be the best use case for AI. We can just take all of these movies and TV shows, and use AI to replace the assholes with some fake person. Fuck 'em.
Maybe if we did this, celebrities, who are disproportionately concerned about being famous, would start to be worried about being forgotten and replaced, and they’d start to know their place.
