Music: This Tortured Soul
I guess you didn't get the message, or mabye you just took a long time to face it. Wasting no time in my decision, you ought to know I'm not the kind to wait. A bigger mistake is longevity, putting it off until the next thing comes by. Having enough of what you do to me, I'll move along but don't forget you were the one. Always want something for nothing, go out of your way because you just can't take a healthy dose of reality. Well, I'll be the one to shove it in your face. It's part of your grand design, setting me up just to watch me fall. You're out of your league this time, you're out of your mind but don't forget you were the one...that's right. The first to cast a stone. I've got a sneaking suspicion, whatever you do is a means to an end. You're living your life with tunnel vision, you've got to find a better way my friend. I'll cut you down to size, burning it back to you all at once. You're out of your league this time, you're out of your mind so don't forget you were the one. That's right. The first to cast a stone.

I hate to say it but a non violent racist grandpa is the least of Hollywood’s problems right now. He’s a Catholic boomer on top of that, as if any of our grandparents are perfect lol
Pedophilia, blackmail, ritualism, sexual abuse, harassment and perversity in general are way bigger issues than homophobia and racism nowadays sadly.
it doesn’t help that it’s because Hollywood for ages has been so deeply routed and connected to mafia activity and the criminal world. How do you think most movies are produced or made?
The mafia tends to funnel billions of dollars of dirty money into movie productions every year and other legitimate types of business so they can launder their cash. That’s why a lot of people including the government allow the mafia to exist, cause they see them as the economic backbone of America and I wish that wasn’t true
That’s also why there’s a lot of naturally sick people in Hollywood with money that easily influence other people to be like them and the rest of the industry by funding projects and keeping the industry afloat
