November 4, 20187 yr I loved the Season 6 of House of Cards. I thought Robin Wright did a fabulous job. I did miss Kevin Spacey and wish his character had not been written off but this season was great even without his great writing. https://www.salon.com/2018/11/03/michael-kelly-on-how-robin-wright-made-house-of-cards-go-on-you-want-to-be-on-the-robin-train/
November 4, 20187 yr Active Members Just watched the first episode, about to start the second. She is fantastic. However, I hated the letting-go-the-bird/Frank metaphors at the beginning and the middle finger at the ending.
November 6, 20187 yr Active Members I have not loved House of Cards for quite some time. For me, the show jumped the shark a long time ago. Hate when that happens. The creative team is very good at building suspense and weaving useless plot devices. They know how to create well-dressed, soap opera drama. Robin Wright has always been a serious talent. The role of Claire is a dream job for a good actress. Her wig in Season 6 drove me crazy. As did the Stamper character, who would have been killed early on if the story wanted to make any sense. For me, it would have made more sense to make Stamper a closeted homosexual, who was obsessively in love with Frank. Frank did dabble with men. Perhaps that could explain Stamper's unbridled devotion. Otherwise, you do all this shit for a man's "legacy?" Made me laugh out loud.

July 10, 20197 yr Active Members Very interesting that the judge in the Criminal suit questions the validity of the prosecution of Spacey. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kevin-spacey-accuser-testifies-over-missing-cell-phone-hearing-today-2019-07-08/
July 10, 20197 yr Author Yes, I read this and found the whole thing odd. The boy was also 18 at the time. I am sure this is much more press and attention than he wanted. I do remember there were other questions about Spacey's past in the UK but not sure if any charges have been filed anywhere other than this case.
July 10, 20197 yr Active Members Questions? Spacey has a long history of sexually abusing young guys.
July 18, 20197 yr Author The case was dismissed and he currently has no criminal charges against him. I do not think his career will overcome this in the near future.
July 18, 20197 yr Active Members Unfortunately, I feel that you are correct. His acting career has been demolished and I truly sympathize with him. His acting in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil was great and I've watched this movie several times.
October 6, 20196 yr Active Members One of my favorite tv shows! I felt bad for Kevin Spacey. His entire career puf .. gone. Even for the other guys/victims if really true. Of course there are 2 sides of the story always.
