Of course he will. They all come back, all of them. It's like the homie Rod on the TBGWT podcast likes to say, nobody ever gets canceled. These scandals turn up every now and then, and people always want to say, "So-and-so's career is over!" Is Imus' career over? Is Bill O'Reilly's career over? Is Mel Gibson's career over? CK may have to lay low for a minute, because the block is too hot, but he'll be back, because they always come back.

Rape and pedophilia is too far though, those guys won't be back. Jerking off in front of someone/sexual harassment? Or racism? Groping? People usually return from that.

Louis is getting a lot of credit (might not be the best word) for his apology but come the fuck on. That dude was asked point-blank about this shit less then two months ago and denied it. He's not having some revelation about his behavior now, he's fessing up because he's been cornered with nowhere to go.

Pee-Wee's Playhouse was already done by the time Reubens was arrested, but I'm sure if it hadn't been, it would have been after the arrest. The really weird thing is that his 2002 child porn arrest didn't hurt his career either.

Probably because people already assumed he was a creep to begin with, so nothing changed there.

I’ve been reluctant to say this but it’s true.

Looking over the site that had details of Prince's health problems a few days before he died... most of the stuff they talk about that seems outlandish old tabloid talk eventually ends up being true in some way since I started looking at it from time to time.

Louie CK seems like the type of guy that would take the millions of dollars he has made and just call it a day and retire. I'm sure he can come back from this, but the guy has pretty much done everything he can in his industry.

Most of this is not surprising in the least. What is surprising is that allegations are actually being met with action. Times have changed, for the better.

So, once all is said and done and all these guys get blackballed, there's gonna be a huge surge of new faces in film.

How can we all ever enjoy Dog Eats Dans Heart again after this?

Honest question: With all these accusations (most likely true) coming about, is there a difference between someone doing something once in the past when they were young/stupid/not thinking things through, and a serial abuser like Weinstein?

My gut reaction is yes, although in today's climate, it doesn't seem like much difference will be considered.

Where are the STATS for people who would be more inclined to see a film because of the allegations? Gotta be a group of Bryan Cranston types who want to support the alleged offenders.
