The Sexual Harassment News Extravaganza Rolls on

Two things came out today-ish:

1: Judge Roy Moore has been accused of being pretty frikken’ creepy…

Woman says Roy Moore initiated sexual encounter when she was 14, he was 32

It’s just an accusation at this time, one Judge Moore has denied. But then, Judge Roy Moore has never really been known for having good judgement; he spent oodles of taxpayer dollars on a clearly unconstitutional endorsement of religion on government grounds. This new development of course throws a wrench into his plans for the special election for the open US Senate seat in Alabama set for December.

2: Also set for December is the release of Ridley Scott’s next movie. A major character in the movie was played by Kevin Spacey, who has suddenly become quite unpopular in Hollywood for being what a whole bunch of people in Hollywod long knew he was. “Was,” because this movie, due to be released in only six weeks, is having all the Spacey scenes reshot with Christopher Plummer in the same role.

If Ridley Scott can pull this off, it’ll be *genius.* For starters, the publicity: having Spacey in the movie might or might not have damaged the box office, but the PR value of pulling off the technical miracle of reshooting and re-editing the movie in a month and a half can only help. Secondly, if Spacey/Plummers scenes are substantial, then this will be an argument that major movies don’t need to take years to accomplish, but months or even just weeks.
