Actor James Woods aka @RealJamesWoods

What's his deal?

I alway enjoyed his acting; Best Seller, Salvador, Once Upon A Time In America, Casino, Ghosts Of Mississippi, etc. then all of a sudden his career filled with great roles and Oscar-nominated performances just seemed to stop. Usually men with his - uh - rather distinctive looks work endlessly in charater roles. Did Kevin Spacey take over his niche? Or did his deallings with batshit crazy Sean Young contribute to his demise?

Anyway now he is a MAJOR alt-right conservative critic who (I guiltily admit) is a wonderfully-bitchy read on Twitter. Yet after Trump won he still wrote things like this: "I pray we unify this great nation and welcome those with whom we disagree. #Unite"

I can't figure him out, what's his story?

Son of a high level intelligence officer, appears to have followed in father's footsteps as a CIA asset working actor.

He was drinking buddies with a lot of the key 9/11 suspects, and his probably fictional encounter with the 9/11 hijackers just days before 9/11 was very convenient for re-enforcing the official 9/11 narrative.

I think he's just nuts. There is a great people !magazine article about his divorce from his 2nd wife Sarah Owens. It goes into detail about how woods would terrorize her, beat her. He would expose himself to her friend. He threatened to hire a pack of n words to kill her. She caught him masturbating outside her sick mother's door. Just a big pile of racist sexiat crazy

Revealed blind items from Crazy Days and Nights. I remember there being another one where he acts like a cunt on the set but couldn't find it.

***

This actor is B- list. Honestly he should be C list, but he has such a well known face and voice that you have to put him in the B list range. Huge career lasting for decades. Always the second banana, but very popular. Did I say he was aging? Over 60. He insists his latest girlfriend is 18, but she was telling people at dinner the other night she needed to get home and study or her parents would kill her. I'm thinking high school student. He plays big in high schools. Colleges too.[italic]James Woods[/italic]

***

#1 This 60 something B list for his entire film career was out to dinner two nights ago with a woman not related to him, (unless sharing tongues is accepted in their family) who was carded when she asked for a drink. As the waiter asked the question, the blood drained from our actor's face. He tried to stop her from showing her i.d, saying that she really didn't need a drink, but it was already out. 17, but the good news she was almost 18. July actually.[italic]James Woods[/italic]

***

This aging, pervy former A list mostly movie actor who likes to date way way younger than his age loves to have his girlfriend get hit on by a bunch of guys at bars and then our actor shows up and boosts his ego by getting her to leave with him. The thing is she has hooked up with some of the other men at later times.[italic]James Woods[/italic]

The deplorables are outraged because Twitter had the gall to suspend "Clint Eastwood's" account, allegedly because he praised Trump. The reason this is funny is because 1. It was an unverified account -- Scott Eastwood didn't even follow it, though he does follow his sisters' (verified) accounts, 2. Clint was probably alerted about the fake account and had it pulled himself, 3. It was most likely a parody account, posting things like "Hey, (Arnold Schwarzenegger)-- Trump just won! Wanna get together and fire off some guns to celebrate?" and “Thank you America, I don’t have long left to live but now I know the last few years will be great, I can’t thank you enough #PresidentTrump,”

(Obviously it wasn't as funny as the Trump parody account, @RealDenaldTrump )

OP, Calling for Unity is one of the most sinister ways of silencing dissent.

Especially when those calling for unity offered no such thing when the roles were reversed.

These calls for unity from extremist right-wingers and Trumpsters are just another manipulative tactic for making liberals and Democrats look bad.

It's pure propaganda. It's two-faced hypocrisy. It's laying a rhetorical trap. It's intellectually dishonest.

R28, the calls for unity ring hollow when they are responsible for much of the divisiveness. Why would any Black person want to unify with a party which tried to belittle the President by demanding he show proof of his citizenship? They never would have done any such thing to a white man.

Like another poster said, he didn't have much range, and though he's very intelligent he's also a fruit bat, startes to go off the rails with his association with Oliver Stone. There was a big scandal back in the 80s where him and his then new wife Sarah Owens accused Sean Young of stalking them and making threats, but it seemed Young and Woods had a major affair on the set of The Boost and Woods was trying to distance himself from that in Owens' eyes. Young already had a rep but when Owens left him after less than 2 years with her own tales of abuse, the industry started to back away slowly. Woods and Young are kind of a draw in the cray department, IMO. His politics might have played a role, but not as big of a role as his general weirdness and the underage girl thing only contributed to the miasma of sleaze around him. I've met him once years ago and I can say he's one of those people who comes off as a twitchy tweaker without even having to take anything to get there.

by Anonymousreply 42November 16, 2016 9:52 AM

Well, it's been a long time, R41, but I was working in LA at the time Stone put Woods in Salvador. It was one of those Apocalypse Now type shoots, and they both had the kind of personalities that fed off each other. Stone had married and sobered up after Scarface and though the result was a major film at the time and established Woods as a leading man, the 2 probably weren't personally good for each other. Certainly Woods became a self-important asshole. Stone's sobriety didn't last if the tales from the set of The Doors are to be believed, and neither did his marriage, and a lot of Wood's behavior in the 80s might be partly explained by, uh, partying. Both men had--have a major issues with women and then came the whole Sean Young thing. I have no proof but Stone s treatment of her on the set of Wall Street might have been connected to the whole Woods/Young affair.. She's always been difficult but this is a director who worked multiple times with Charlie Sheen, for Christ's sake. Damn, this was all such a long time ago.

His niche is fast talking charismatic people and maybe silent type father figure, he couldn't disguise or lose himself in a role aka DeNiro. Does he really come from a rich upbringing cause he looks like he crawled out of a Louisiana swamp or something and is the a human, swamp monster hybrid.

Worked with him for a couple of days soon after the Sean Young incident. He was very flirtatious and gave me the impression he was trying his best to be charming. However he also really came across as a paternal authority figure type as well. I get the way, way younger woman attachment as he obviously has control issues with women.

Sean Young said at the time it was her tradition to give the pair of pantyhose she wore at the audition to her director afterwards. She also had an affair with Kevin Costner when they worked together. While it's common for the leading couple to continue their romance off set apparently Sean Young didn't take the wrap party as a polite parting farewell with James Woods. She didn't mind being dumped by Costner but tried to hold on to Woods. Hence the crazy stories when Woods when back to his wife after filming was over.

R42, as I understand it, ALT-Right means the Britebart Right. They're unrepentantly mean. They're rude. They're angry. They don't like "Political correctness", whatever that means. They don't like taxes, welfare, regulations, and so forth. As for how they are different from regular conservatives, I think it is the unabashed nature of it.

I don't think they use the "N" word in print, but a reader of their work might finish an article that is so provocative that upon conclusion of the article, they think the author did. That kind of thing.
