Title: How Hollywood launders drug money
Post by: dudeism on September 07, 2013, 03:29 am
Ever wonder how rich and famous stars like Charlie Sheen get away with making millions of dollars in cocaine? They rip off the plot of The Producers and make a shitty movie that nobody watches so they can clean all their drug monies. Case in point: Food Fight, the product placement laden animated movie with celebrity voices and nightmarish production values. It took ten years to make, $65 million dollars, and after a limited release in the UK grossed just $73,706. That's over $880 spent for every dollar gained.

Here's the trailer, CLEARNET LINK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uROQ9nplxIY

I haven't watched this movie, but based on the wikipedia article, this movie was never intended for children's eyes. There a lots of raunchy moments which suggest nobody cares what little Billy thinks of Food Fight. It's the definition of a dumb piece of shit movie and the only reason it could possibly exist is because cocaine. I think it's also the reason Tommy Wiseau made The Room.

I don't think Charlie Sheen would be selling cocaine.
He probably buys it by the KG, but why would he sell it when he was making $1 million+ per episode.

He made $100 million+. Even if he used 1kg cocaine / month (which would not even be possible). 1kg cocaine in the US would be $40K tops for high quality.
If he was using 1kg / month he'd be spending $500,000 / year. So that's 200 years of cocaine. Why would he bother to sell it?

It's either he's using and dealing or he knows somebody who knows somebody he owed a favor to. Either way he's an enabler, and the cast of the movie looks like a laundry list of potential users.

"Hey fellow Hollywood celebrity,  here's a free line of coke! By the way, do you mind saying these lines into this microphone?"

 :-X  I'd say if someone had true knowledge of goings on at that level that they would either be in on it or people in the know would want to have a little talk with that person.  hmm?

The Room was the most hilariously terrible movie i've ever seen. I don't know how Tommy spent $6 million making it, it looks worse than some of the movies we made in high school film & TV classes.

Some of the lines were just hilarious in how bad they were, the director had no idea how terrible his plot and script were and what a laughing stock he is, it looked like the actors were even trying not to laugh the whole way through the movie.

"Enough of these personal questions... so how is your sex life?"
"I'm not pregnant, there is no baby.... I just said that to make things interesting"

I really recommend everyone watch this movie. It's so bad it's actually a brilliant unintentional comedy.

How Tommy Wiseau came up with $6 million no-one knows, in his interviews he just rambles incoherently and never actually replies to the actual questions people ask him, he's such a nut-case.

He's got those two ex-pornstar girlfriends that go through about 4kg/mo each on average you forgot to include in the equation.
