I wonder if Edgar Wright is making a statement on popular culture with his version of A Faust Tale. He got screwed over royally by Marvel. Whatever, it's going to be fun watching Anya Taylor Joy play a Fallen Angel.
Butler, the people in the industry - incl the women and men giving the blowjobs - don't even agree with you. It's an industry where there is one solid gig for every 1,000 (?) candidates, but if you get that gig you can make $$$ millions and become a legend. You don't think a few blowjobs and fucks aren't going to be offered in that situation?
Yup. You are still defending producers demanding and accepting from minors. Because not policing one makes them powerful enough to demand this from anyone. Would you approve of the same for positions in Harvard Law School? Who also get that many submissions? How about Congressoinal internships?(oh wait that did happen!), numerous other rare positions?

No one's talking about minors. You keep pushing this but nowhere do I suggest that sexual activity with minors is acceptable.
You think improper inducements like payoffs, favour exchanges or even sex isn't involved in congressional internships? Some, at least?
No one's going to "police" the film biz. As long as the interaction is consensual, no one wants it to be policed. The issues are if the interaction is non consensual, which is how the incidents w Weinstein were described after the fact or involving minors.
If we're talking about a 25 year old actress who voluntarily blows a director to get a role, what are you going to do, Butler? Run into the bedroom and scream at the girl: "This is wrong! You're better than this! Win this role on the strength of your talent, please!" You're ridiculous. The people you're trying to "save" don't even give a shit.
For every woman who says "This is demeaning. I want to win the part on the strength of my brilliant audition tape." , there are 10 actresses who'll say "Damn right I'll blow that old pig for the female lead in Reptile Overlords against America !" Is that corrupt?... Yuh. But the dick-suckers are a willing part of the corruption.
If there's anyone reading this thread who is currently connected to the movie industry, I have an unfinished screenplay, (84 page extended scene in .pdf available), that I can't get anyone to read. If you know someone in The Industry who would read it, start a conversation with me. You'd get a generous'finder's fee' if I make a sale. The plot of the film can be explained in 100 words or less.
