Growing up around the industry arguably also creates deeper knowledge about the industry and the craft beyond just opportunity. 

Prior joke answer aside, right now it’s a tie between Brandon Cronenberg and Panos Cosmatos. They’re both a little too green to say for sure but Possessor is really f’ing impressive and although I hate a lot of things about Beyond the Black Rainbow I also think it’s fascinating and really like his style. I would have…

It’s all positions in the industry, which few people talk about. Yes, it’s much easier to see nepotism in action with on-screen talent but from producers to directors to gaffers and catering, nepotism in Hollywood is absolutely *rampant*. JJ Abrams? Son of TV producers. Joss Whedon? Third generation TV writer.…

“but if you whiff your audition they’re not going to cast you”

Who is your favorite nepo baby? Mines Wyatt Russell. Loved Lodge 49 and Overlord. 

For at least two reasons:

Dude. The problem isn’t “there are too many untalented actors!”; the problem is that a privileged minority get opportunities that most people don’t.

Yeah man I’m also only talking about actors. But you for some reason took issue with my phrasing of actors related to other previous actors. And made it out as if you only wanted to discuss an actor who was the direct son or daughter of another actor. Nieces and Nephews and cousins exist too. And grandchildren.

Keep in mind that many of these actors aren’t rushing across town in their 2004 Celica during their lunch break to try and make an audition.

Also, as a non Christian, I’ve never once got angry that someone said “Merry Christmas” to me. It’s nice that you choose to share your holiday with me.  

Yeah, I am sure no one involved in hiring her at various points in her career took into consideration that her father is high-powered, influential actor and producer Johnny Depp.

Windmills, primarily, but also some straw men. 

I usually say “Merry Christmas” when it’s literally Christmas and something about the holidays when I’m talking about the general season. It’s, you know, not hard.  

My sister works in the business, and nepotism is very much alive and thriving in the industry. 

Sorry I was having the conversation about nepotism in Hollywood. Nepotism doesn’t refer to only being the direct child of someone else in the industry.

I know you’re describing it as “one big hurdle”, but that doesn’t really capture how ENORMOUS that hurdle is and how enormous an advantage that FastPass is for these people. They can start their career in their teens because of their parents while others with no family connections might not break out if they ever do…

Getting in the door -is- the hard part though.

Disney fans also include a lot of children so you’re also calling children idiots with your comment. Do you also beat up children too? You’re so cool for thinking all these things.

ASS TO ASS

Oh, a snark detector. That’s a really useful invention.
