Steven Spielberg has another protege'

Alden Ehrenreich, whom he "discovered" at a Bat Mitzvah. Already bumping other actors out of roles.

This is why I have always discouraged friends from going into acting. You could have years of training at Juliard, the looks of a god and major audition chops... and some little shit with luck and access is working and you're bartending.

"Yikes - What's with Steven and the rat-faced boys?"

Shia LaDouche looked eerily like Spielberg as a young man, I'll post pictures later if anyone hasn't seen the creepy resemblance. Either Spielberg is the little monster's biological relative, or he likes seeing his own face up on the screen.

But apparently that wasn't enough to get him to put up with the psycho behavior, nobody is willing to work with Shia these days.

Connections and biases are why there is a huge disparity in the number of gay people between early life acting like in high school productions and Hollywood. Gay men are enthralled by the entertainment industry yet none of the main entertainment news shows has ever had a gay male host.

The Jonathan Norman thing was really interesting. He was an actor who'd apparently met Spielberg, yet that was downplayed considerably in the press. Bodybuilder, good looking. His plan was to tie Spielberg up with duct tape and rape him in front of his wife. Which sounds like revenge to me. He was given a huge sentence, especially considering the rape never occurred- 25 years to life. Most rapists don't get that. Most murderers don't get that! He quickly disappeared. I remember them reporting it on some entertainment show, right when he was arrested, and the story sounded odd. Like something was missing.

Spielberg generally likes established, often gentile stars. But he tends to promote and build brands around Jews, while gentiles are often ignored. Ethnic bias, and rather sick.

Wasn't S Lansing the same woman who got Suzanne Somers off the blacklist? Or am I thinking of another behind the scenes player? I remember Somers was basically living with this powerful woman, attending major functions as her SO and rumored to do anything that was asked sexually...

by Anonymousreply 57March 1, 2014 3:09 PM

Somers' hubby Hamel manages everything and always has. He managed her out of stardom with his stupid demands and managed her into bed with women like Liz Smith. He was smart with the latter: Hollywood has so many men that are 1) gay or 2) pedophiles that SS' market was better wither powerful fish. It also cut away the chance that she'd marry another more powerful man and leave him. If there's a bisexual whore in Hollywood that hasn't slept with Lansing for a career boost I'd be surprised.

The post at R42 does nothing but prove that Crispin is a fan of Hitler, defends Goebbles, and hates Jews, especially when Jews are wealthy.

Crispen also indicates that the media, which is allegedly controlled by Jews who are not only wealthy, but closet kiddie diddlers, was somehow responsible for Columbine, due to Judeo-Christian values forced upon all people as a form of psychological control and manipulation. Crispen hints that the Judeo-Christian dogma is actually an evil tool that is used to prevent independent, free thinking, especially the kind of thinking that makes everyone hate Jews.

What a piece of shit Crispen is. This has NOTHING to do with pedophilia perpetuated by Hollywood power brokers, who also happen to be Jewish, and everything to do with disgusting bullshit spilling out of the mouth of a Nazi sympathizer , Hitler worshiping anti-Semitic Hollywood has been.

Back to Alden. He's good looking but has never impressed me with his acting. Looks great in photos. Sucks on film though. He had absolutely no charisma in that movie he did with Warren Beatty and unfortunately he played the lead in that and so he took the entire movie down with him.

And the upcoming Solo movie isn't the first time he's required an on-set acting couch. WTF is that about? If he can't act, don't hire him! Why is he being pushed? Is his hole (be it ass or mouth) really that powerful?

There was a story about the problems in Han Solo somewhere recently. Apparently the acting coach was hired to bring more Harrison Ford's Han Solo vibes to Alden's Solo. And, according to the story they achieved the goal and Ehrenstein was happy about it as well. The production itself was apparently a mess because the original directors, Lord and Miller, just weren't ready to handle such a huge production. When Ron Howard took their place things changed drastically and everything became fast and professional. Apparently Lord and Miller liked to do dozens of takes just to get variety for the editing room. Kathleen Kennedy and Lawrence Kasdan hated their style.

I'd heard about all the good reviews Alden E got for Hail Caesar" and the clip I saw of him, he was ok and he wasn't anything special But I almost fell in love with him in this film. Thought he gave an interesting performance and very charismatic.

Even liked the film up until 80 year old Beatty got it on with the teenage girl in gross graphic detail. Then it was downhill all the way. Think Alden will survive Han Solo if it's a fiasco and turn into a good character actor

How is it you folks haven't had a field day with this line from the OP's link:

"Spielberg watched a comedy video created by Ehrenreich and a friend, "which began in the present and eventually cut to 20 or 30 years later, with Mr. Ehrenreich, in a kimono, screaming to stop a wedding." Ehrenreich has described the comedic performance he gave in the movie as, "I ran around as a skinny little punk, trying on girls' clothes and eating dirt." "

And that's all we need to know.
