With straightforward selling/buying sexual services, one person is paying another, and it is clear what is being transacted. There may be a power differential, but it really is merely fee for service. Then there's the dishonesty toward those who are funding the movie. Sure, there were folks on the production side who might know that a particular director is *like that*, and might turn a blind eye because they feel that the value he adds is worth it, but there's no transparency. The film director has a responsibility to cast the actress who will maximize the profit for investors, not the one who allows him to do sexual things with her. Of course, the worst aspect is the fact that the director isn't just dangling the prospect of a one time gig, but a break into higher levels of employment--"I can make you a star," or even worse, "I could prevent you from becoming a star." I wrote a book where a young woman, about two weeks before her 20th birthday, on a lark, decides to try dancing at a strip club. She meets a rich widower, and agrees to become his "courtesan" for an extraordinary salary. She's anything but naive, and insists on being paid weekly. You should read it. ********* "Like I'm any different than your maid, or the kid who mowed the yard yesterday, or folks who give haircuts, or a surgeon. Yeah, surgeon. Look at that whore. Shameless. She just took out that fellow's gall bladder." Winter started laughing, "I am sure glad I don't have to take out your gall bladder." "Me too." ********* Steve would indeed hate *Winter's Present*, but not because it is like a Harlequin romance, because it isn't. --Bryan |

I thought we were talking about an art form ![]() don't know what Shakespeare in Love was, because I haven't seen it. Weinstein probably proposed to Paltrow first and she said Yes to the transaction. Otherwise the part would have gone to another actress, without affecting the movie's success, probably. >Of course, the worst aspect is the fact that the director isn't just dangling >the prospect of a one time gig, but a break into higher levels of >employment--"I can make you a star," or even worse, "I could prevent you >from becoming a star."

Ironically, that's pretty much the opposite of a David Mamet movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDAUaFXsd9E |

ObCooking, the squash turned out well, i roasted about eight Kabochas and then one fairly large Baby Blue Hubbard squash. the Kabochas were a little dry and then Hubbard was pretty moist so when they were all mashed together the texture was perfect. i froze two half gallon portions of that and we have the rest in a large bowl for us to eat for the next week. zero mile food is good eats. ![]() of the squash would have been the seeds for the Baby Blue Hubbards. now i have a plentiful supply of seeds for the future years and/or giving to people who want them. songbird |

I love "dry humor." In real life though, when my daughter was an older teenager, she went through many rolls per week. She kept one in her bedroom too for whatever she used it for. I never asked. I only noticed the serious drop after she moved away at age 20. |

I studied at the American Academy of >Dramatic Arts in Manhattan. My kids went there for years when they were young for weekend classes! By then I'd moved kit & kaboodle over the Hudson to NJ, but we were in the city all the time. Wandering all over 4 of the 5 boros is one of the things I miss most during the pandemic. My program was in the US, too, but a Uni program with which I parted ways when we disagreed about requirements....they insisted on one production per semester and I had just gotten my Equity card and was working already and begged them to use that as course fulfillment. Ah well.. |
