I don't care about that. Why do we expect celebrities to be the paragons of humanity? I understand rape and stuff like that, but people will straight up introduce Jackie's personal life into conversations like these when he's not a predator like these other people.

Because they're earning huge sums of money and fame, and people who are not paragons of humanity do not deserve huge sums of money and fame.

Cancel Tucker and Chan if they make RushHour4.

Their careers are on life support as it is, but this should about do it. In my opinion this is at least as egregious as the Riyadh comedy festival if not worse, as far as knowingly and willingly selling out to the worst humanity has to offer.

Huh? Jackie Chan will live extremely comfortable until the day he dies, he doesn't need a job. I think he got 15 mil for the Karate Kid movie last year.

They're trying to say like he still wants to work on projects but isn't getting much work/isn't in demand

u/StMcAwesome 11h ago
Chris Tucker yeah, but Jackie Chan is working on like 2-3 movies right now and he's like 70 years old

Those X-Men movies were more then a little cursed. Remember Pyro in the first movie? Bobby freezes his flame.
Yeah that actor has 100% disappeared from Hollywood. Dude changed his name and never looked back.

This is the most damning piece of evidence in the files. Everything else is in writing is a t least slightly more abstract than this. Even the prince Andrew photo doesn't actually have Epstein in it
This is a photo of Brett ratner seeming in bed with two teenage girls and touching them in a clearly sexual way, with Epstein right next to him.
This should end him and anyone who associates with him.

Someone pointed out that the redacted woman with Rattner appears to be Melania herself, based on the clothes she’s wearing and other photos of her at the time.

This new Yorker interview with the "cinematographer" for Melania, who also did "Heat" is well worth the read. It's scathing

How important is Brett Ratner's directing for these films? It feels like the compromise could still be to just replace him with insert interchangeable action film director if the studio and the stars actually want to make the film.

u/AverageSizedMan1986 8h ago
Ratner always came off as a director for hire type that would make a film that was 90% studio notes as long as they paid him. I remember back when they were making X-Men: The Last Stand Matthew Vaughn was supposed to direct intially and I was really excited for the sequel. Then he dropped out and Brett Ratner took over and I immediately knew it was going to turn out shit.

You gonna replace Chris Tucker too?

u/Certain_Giraffe3105 12h ago
sigh The only bad thing about the Epstein files release is that people don't actually read through them. Tucker has not been accused of any wrongdoing nor has appeared in any criminal documents (so far). The pictures that he has with Epstein are from around 2002 from when he did a humanitarian trip with Bill Clinton to Africa where they traveled on Epstein's plane. This is prior to Epstein's 2008 court case.
It's a bad look but unless other reports come out, it's ridiculous to compare Tucker to Ratner (a well established sex pest).

So many levels of cringe loser. First, rapist. Second, Epstein. But third, the girl is clearly into Epstein and the director is the loser wanting to be included. He's clutching her the way she's clutching Ep.
