Reply to comment by InfernalRodent in Rudy Giuliani Docuseries 'When Truth Isn't Truth' Reveals Mayor's Dark Side by aktivate74
While I understand the desire to draw a big conspiracy theory around Guiliani, but I think he actually started out as someone with a massive ego and the intention to do good. Going after the Cosa Nostra in the 80s took serious guts. He also went after Wall Street in a very public way that sent some people to jail. His term as Mayor of NYC was controversial and there is a lot to criticize, but he was still taking big swings trying to make change.
If he had stayed a prosecutor, he'd probably be a much more admirable person. But fame seems to have been his driving ambition since 9/11.

Bamboo is incredibly invasive, no one should plant it for decoration.

Privilege in terms of name recognition, not in terms of money.
Grandpa was a famous actor, but he was not involved in dad's life. Dad was not involved in Drew's life. He stopped working and became a reclusive addict when she was a baby. Whatever inherited wealth there was, he spent on himself.
While her name gave her opportunities, Drew earned her own money.

Reply to comment by Remote-Ad-2686 in The Decline of British Blue Collar Stories On Screen: 25 years since NIL BY MOUTH first hit screens, Gary Oldman’s film has become a relic of a time when working-class stories were major cinematic events. What happened? by Bullingdon1973
It clearly isn't just about money and trends. You can't watch films or TV shows that don't exist. Oscarssowhite was only six years ago and there have been successful diverse films made because of that Twitter campaign. I think the audience is open to more economically diverse stories, but they aren't the ones executives chose to produce.

I seriously recommend watching Corey's episode of Wife Swap on Hulu- it shows him with his "Angels."
I know hurt people hurt people, but Corey isn't a simple victim, he has also done things to other people.
