I don't know who James Wood is but I have to admit that meme is funny. I don't agree with it... but it's funny. He's an actor so method he actually went back in time to prepare for his part in "Chaplin" Also fought aliens in outer space for unspecified reasons, also he's a Greek God - Hades.

Hades hath spoken. I'm surprised you left out the retweet/comment he made at "CaptainMabel" - well, somebody else did so its all good.
On a similar note - Woods would've made a good Tony Stark in the 1980's...

Amber Tamblyn is pretty garbage as a person though, she's a total SJW loon who tries to force her political beliefs onto others and fancies herself as being on the top of the mountain in many areas, pretends to be such a know-it-all but comes to a thud on a lot of topics, goes off on a lot of people who disagree with her even if they're actually pretty well-thought out responses and not troll posts, and like a lot of Hollywood leftists she still cannot get over the fact that Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election. Her timing to smear Woods was fairly politically driven as he was criticizing the left more than usual then and Hollywood favoritism with a clear objective being to tarnish his reputation and create a sense that all Trump supporters are bad people, if it weren't politics she could've said something years ago when she actually was appearing in major tentpole releases and mainstream television(Then such a thing would've had more of an impact on the media). Not that's it really did much though, Woods didn't go away from social media or face any trouble and none of his fans turned on him after, and his career was pretty much over before so there was nowhere deeper to dig in the ground. I don't know her all that well. So she could be a garbage human being. The timing of her tweet was in response to Wood's bashing of a movie no? Her response was to show the Wood's hypocrisy criticizing the morality of Hammer's movie about a young 20 something dating a 17 year old. When Hammer responded about Woods dating 19 year olds at 60, Amber chimed in with her story. IF it did happen (and there are other stories out there about Agency's and Production company's having to send males because of Wood's advances) then it would show his hypocrisy. I'm not saying it did happen, but it does fit a pattern Wood's has.

Isn't James Wood pretty much Anti-everything with the only exception being Trump? Hes Trumps biggest twitter celebrity supporter. Isn't Trump's biggest celebrity supporter Robert Kraft, the billionaire who was recently arrested and charged with soliciting sex from girls who were taken from their homes and forced to become sex slaves for rich old scumbag assholes? Heck, billionaire Kraft even gave Trump a $36K gift rather than donate the money to a needy charity.

Didn’t James Woods once cheer the death of a random Twitter user who joked about him doing cocaine? Also, I have no clue if Tamblyn was telling the truth, but James Woods does have a creepy penchant for women who are barely old enough to even qualify as women. In fact, he once compared his dating habits to buying a puppy.

I'm not saying it did happen, but it does fit a pattern Wood's has. A 60 year old going out with a 19-20 year old, while pretty unusual for sure, is legal, a 20-something dating a 16-17 year old though is, however, not legal in quite a number of places in the world. The age difference between 16 to 19 isn't a big gap for sure but law aside when some turn 18 and age to 19 or 20 they find transition into adulthood easy and welcome all its challenges from relationships, professional work, family, and finances. Others, however, can take a longer time to reach such an acceptance level and feel compelled to do all the hard work that they were trained for in school. From personal experience I have a number of friends who graduated from high school with me ten years ago who gladly tackled all of adulthood's challenges as soon as they got their diplomas and have started families of their own and have steady jobs, others however are still trying to find their footing in adulthood, have no partners or families of their own, and a few still live at home with their parents to save money. It's pretty complicated, but some youths just find it easier to get out into the world than others. Woods' criticism of the film relates to what I meant by "Hollywood favoritism", #MeToo was in full swing and here a lot were praising and going out with full Oscar support for a romantic film with a questionable premise. The reason why I believe that the whole thing between Woods and Tamblyn is fairly a political one is based on their opposing political parties, both of them are very vocal and critical of the others' respective party and when Woods was making his comments on Armie Hammer's movie it was also a time when he was being more critical than usual of the left. It just seemed like the best opportunity to smear him if you ask me, because if it was such a problem she could've made her point years ago when her star status was far larger than Woods' was, but she did nothing. What's also very interesting is that her husband of quite a few years David Cross followed Woods for quite some time and even continued to follow him on Twitter after Tamblyn shared her story and wrote her piece - which just raises the eyebrow even higher because you would think he wouldn't follow him or have him blocked? The encounter described is also pretty vague, it could've happened but it might've been just a big blur - quite possible seeing as I believe it was a place for people to consume alcohol, take drugs, and whatnot(which raises the question why Tamblyn would be there in the first place since she wouldn't be legal age to enter).

I don't know about that, but probably true - he tends to receive a lot of extreme hate from very vocal and nasty folks on the left on Twitter and Twitter has been often described as being a place of pure anarchy when it comes to trying to have a dialog about certain matters - about as bad as YouTube, but in fewer characters. Woods definitely has some questionable traits in personality and romantic interests, I won't deny that, but, I don't see him earning the title of "worst human being imaginable" - which some have said in the past, all on social media and all on the opposing political side of things. I mean Woods, for all what could accounted as questionable behavior, has done good on his platform before: offered a lot of help when L.A. was suffering through the wild fires last fall and even Chris Evans thanked him for it. Also has helped lots of vets, too.

Can someone give James Woods his pieces of candy so he can shut up? I remember that bit from Family Guy, reminded me instantly of a moment from Dexter's Lab, which Seth McFarlane also worked on. Also, will you be seeing Alita, Joe? Just curious. Another thing I realize is that Woods is here showing support for a James Cameron production and on Entourage he was one of the stars of Cameron's Aquaman movie.

Also has helped lots of vets, too. Just to be clear, when some anonymous Twitter user made a joke about him doing cocaine, Woods filed a $10 million lawsuit against the user, and when he later was informed that the person he was suing had died, he declared that he hoped that person died “screaming my name”. All that just because of a joke that he himself had made in the past. I havent seen seen anyone who has claimed that he’s the “worst human being imaginable”. People mostly just think he’s a creepy dick who likes to promote conspiracy theories about Obama being a Muslim, and makes jokes about how Somalians need to stop eating goat soup.

I don't know if I'll be seeing Alita: Battle Angel. For one, I'm busy, and two, it just doesn't look good to me. Captain Marvel on the other hand does. Maybe if James Cameron directed Alita: Battle Angel, then we would be talking.

Thanks for the additional info, that's unfortunate to hear but again I am not very surprised for sadly we live in a world where emotion comes before stimulation, people react first and share it online for the world to see before looking back and thinking on it even more. This flaw runs for all people of all ages, unfortunately. By "worst human being imaginable" I was establishing an umbrella term where description is minimal but you can get the point right away.

It is pretty solid, 3D is superb. Maybe I'll check it out soon. I second that. We watched it a few weeks ago because we were bored and wanted to kill time. I was pleasantly surprised. A lot better than I was expecting. Good fight scenes, good characters, tight storyline, and Jennifer Connelly was hot. Surprised it got away with a PG13 rating.

In fact I wouldn't be here if it was for my Grandfather (22) and my Grandmother (17) when they first started dating. The 60-19 isn't the question here although it does show a pattern. I guess the 50+ to 16 story boils down to if you believe it happened or not. This isn't a legal court, so there is no evidence. I just have to go on what I've heard. And for years way before this situation there were stories (like Weinstein and Spacey) of Wood using his power to go after females in the business. Nothing as shocking as those 2, but enough to know that he went after young females in the business. I don't know that it happened but I believe it's possible (and probable) with his track record. Even if it didn't happen, I don't think a person who we know has dated barely legal teens as a senior citizen to have the moral authority to condemn a piece of fiction as immoral based on age descrepency of the lead characters. (legality =/= moral) My opinion has nothing to do with politics, just what I've seen. I honestly don't care his political ideals. I condemn any man (or woman) for dating teenagers in their 50+'s.
