There was this movie that Woody Allen starred in called the Front with Zero Mostel. It was written and produced entirely by writers and artists that had been blacklisted by the HUAC in the 50’s during McCarthyism. McCarthy’s Co-star was Donald Trump’s mentor snake incarnate Roy Cohn.
There is currently a ton of men that have had their careers trampled by their previous sexually perverted bad deeds and I’m all for it, but it’s also like during baseball’s steroid scandal. Had they banned all the steroid users they could have formed their very own team that would have been better than any Major League Team remaining. I’m just saying that there is a lot of talent on the sidelines.
So I tried to decide on a project for them. Weinstein obviously produces with Mel Gibson who still has a ton of dough from the Passion of the Christ. At first I was thinking that they could do a sequel about Easter. I know nothing about Easter so I can’t even come up with a title, but I’m sure it would be very successful unlike that time Mel was going to make that Judah Maccabee movie to show he didn’t hate Jews.
Since Weinstein and Woody are both Jewish maybe that wouldn’t work so I was thinking what other project would work?
So I thought to myself who is currently are most talented misogynist writer and immediately I thought of David Mamet. Brilliant writer who just clearly hates women. In House of Games he even used his wife at the time to basically be conned and used for 90 minutes. If he writes on the topic of women, in general he is going to blame the situation on the women like he did in Oleanna.
Problem is that no women would want to work with these guys, so I figured the better option would be to remake Glengarry Glen Ross, which I’m pretty sure doesn’t have any female speaking parts and features men at their absolute worst. Spacey is obviously available if he wants to keep his role or maybe do Jack Lemmon’s instead even though Dustin Hoffman is perfect for it. Ben Affleck already basically ripped off Alec Baldwin’s Always Be Closing speech in Boiler Room. Louis CK could play one of the real estate salesmen. Maybe throw in Aziz to make it more multi-cultural, which on second guess probably wouldn’t work for Mel.
I’m just saying that there are a lot of really talented guys on the sidelines. What if they did it and it was really good? Would anyone go to see it? Would it rescue their careers? Would it work on Broadway and only be shown to all male audiences?
It would be like the Trump-era Hamilton and he could actually go see this one. James Woods would kill to get in on this.
This is probably going to happen unless we take all the white supremacists and sex offenders and give them one of those square states in the mid-west to occupy.
I doubt this would get off the ground, but I guarantee you one of these horrible dudes is just going to dive into his bad behavior with both feet and prosper. For a while, Andrew Dice Clay made a ton of money, being basically an oral version of the ugliest of men all while claiming to be playing a character to stadiums full of awful guys laughing their ass off and worshiping that character.
My money is on Mel. Like Christ you just can’t kill that guy.
