What comparison?

a) Comparing a statue given for awards in film-making to Confederate statues, and b) saying the Oscar statue represents peadophilia, rape culture etc. It doesn't.

Corey Feldman has released a video announcing that he knows of at least 6 powerful paedophiles in Hollywood, and he is going to confront them. Feldman states that he needs funding to hire security for his family, and to hire powerful lawyers.
He also plans to release a movie that isn't restricted by the Hollywood studios.

His Indiegogo campaign can be viewed here:

Good for him. You know what? I'm going to send him some money. I'm just one little guy in the grand scheme of things, but I'd like to see Feldman get some justice after everything that has happened to him. So maybe this might help the slow train of justice.

The sad reality of our world is that you need to 'purchase' publicity, legal teams, and media placement in this world before anyone who listen.

Maybe some of you should consider donating, if you want to try and make a difference. There's an awful lot of chatter on Facebook and Twitter, but very little in terms of actual action.

TBH I would have a lot of faith in Corey's campaign if he wasn't using it as a means to promote his album ...

And he's looking for $10m. Ha.

I just donated there to it. Kind of an F You to all the paedophiles and creeps out there. He’s been getting serious hassle on twitter for not naming who raped Corey Haim so fair balls to him for at least attempting this. If it fails so be it but I admire him for trying - especially after all he’s been through.

You are the only person who has mentioned pre civil rights era monuments.
Maybe he was referring to suggestions by Vice magazine to blow up Mount Rushmore.

Yes, they actually wrote that before deleting the article online:

Considering Mount Rushmore isn't a statue or has it been in the news recently with protests and counter protests I am not sure why you think the tweet was referring to that

He could just do it, without asking for 10-f*ckin-million dollars to do it.

Wouldn't give Corey a cent.
10 million? My hole. And that "movie" he'd make too would be shopped around to the likes of Netflix etc.

Paying a man to make money.

Don't worry, you are not obligated to donate.

There are a lot of very, very rich people milling around Hollywood and California, and rich people like nothing better than to feel all saintly and like they are doing something for the cause-du-jour. So the timing is right for him to get the lolly if he feels he needs it for this, and get it he will. All the best to him.

tara73 · 25-10-2017 06:25PM

just donated too. think it's a great thing to actually do something and hopefully when he names the scumbag paedos the ring will be locked up for the rest of their lives and Hollywood could be knocked down and shut down too from my point of view. Wouldn't be much loss.

It tells what an evil world we live in that they already haunt him and he has to fear for his live and that of his families, friends, co workers. Horrible scum out there.

Hope all the outraged guys here with their endless posts will donate too... But I'm guessing it's getting quiet from them or all kind of excuses will float in.

and for all who didn't get it: the 10 million is just the target set online, it doesn't has to be achieved! There were donations around 14.000$ around an hour ago, so whatever will be achieved is helping I guess.
I guess he also needs a lot of money for the court battle and what else it all involves to bring the paedo ring down!

retro:electro · 25-10-2017 06:26PM

Surely it would be cheaper to do a tell all interview? I do wish him well though.

Edited to add- I never thought that maybe a studio or network won't want to be seen to be endorsing his views so maybe it's for the best that it's an independent production. That way he'll have more creative control over content and editing.

Harvey Wankstain released a statement, haven't had a chance to read it yet but I hope it's a grovelling apology.

Yeah... don't hold your breath there. Two very recent statements here on women who have accused him:

https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2017/10/the-evolution-of-harvey-weinsteins-statements/543690/

“Brit Marling is a super talented actress and writer. Mr. Weinstein has a different recollection of the events.’’

...

"Mr. Weinstein has a different recollection of the events, but believes Lupita is a brilliant actress and a major force for the industry. Last year, she sent a personal invitation to Mr. Weinstein to see her in her Broadway show Eclipsed."

...

It is also a textbook manifestation of he said, she said, used as a legal strategy—with the he in question, in this case, simply shrugging in response to the allegation. And, then, with the he in question declining to elaborate further. In response to The Atlantic’s request to provide more specific detail on how Weinstein’s recollection differs from Marling’s, [Weinstein's spokesperson, Sallie] Hofmeister declined to comment.

He's basically gone straight to playing legal chess rather than considering any real form of apology that might be seen as admitting guilt.

MadYaker · 25-10-2017 07:29PM

I guess it would be unrealistic to expect him to throw his hands up and say "yes I did it, take me away!"

His reputation is already in tatters, I imagine he can live with that. But a long jail sentence for someone who has lived the life he's had? Id say he'd nearly choose death over that.

Firstly that and would anybody believe in any genuiness in an apology from this man?

If it was a kickstarter, I'd donate-but Indiegogo is notoriously dodgy. If you donate through kickstarter, and the project either doesn't get funded, or doesn't get made-your money is refunded. If it's Indiegogo-it doesn't. They pocket the cash, and away they go.

Just saw the following blind item posted on CDAN which is obviously meant to be Feldman.

This former 80's actor will be keeping all the money for himself and then revealing someone who already died if his idea goes according to plan. The one who he should be naming he won't

It's pretty easy to find out who the person who allegedly raped Corey haim is. it's not like he has a good reputation to ruin these days (or ever really) and wouldn't really be a bombshell reveal to most people. If feldman really is using this to make money then he is a disgrace

You didn't listen to the video at all. He wasn't talking about revealing just this person. He was talking about 6 known main people in the paedophile ring.

Speaking of paedophiles-this was the Irish Times, paying tribute to Tom Humphries...yes, tribute. They amended the article-originally it was 40 paragraphs, and the first mention of his paedophilia and the rape and abuse of a young girl ...was on paragraph 38. As many noted, this was akin to 50 people walking over to Humphries, in court, and shaking his hand. (I believe there is another case pending, involving another victim. Someone clarify that for me).
Same article compared him as a successor to Con Houlihan...which was an insult to the legendary Con.

Today, Joe Brolly was saying he 'didn't know what Donal Og stepped down from his job'...well, could anyone support a guy who gave a character statement for an abuser?

Remember how they condemned 'rural' areas for having backward attitudes? What's the excuse for this excrement?

Cheers, I'll donate too. Even if he spends it on himself he deserves a thank you gesture for what he was doing over the years, restricted as he was.

Another actress has spoken of being raped. Seems Harvey killed her career too.

For those who think this business is just political correctness gone absolutely baloobas and Weinstein is being given a hard time for what is universally standard male behaviour since the flood : get yourself to an opera.

The Irish times wrote a heaping of praise on one of their former colleagues, in an article yesterday-didn't mention he was a paedophile or rapist.

That article had quite a de mortuis nil nisi bonum feel to it.
