Armie Hammer, three day movies, etc

I quit paying attention to the accusations against Armie Hammer after the cannibalism stuff. And that, I assume, was strictly fantasy. I prefer to think that if he were to actually attempt it, he would be turned off to the whole idea of cannibalism, but I may be overly optimistic. It may be that his movie career is the one thing keeping him from becoming an actual cannibal in which case we should keep him working. But I keep being surprised that celebrities with so much to lose still commit horrible crimes. And I guess Hammer's been accused of some other, more quotidian sex crimes and abuse.

I read that there are companies that produce three-day movie---movies filmed in just three days---and one of them keeps using the same actor to star in each one. They use an actor who was sort of known but whose career hasn't gone well and has been reduced to this. But he's still a movie star this way.

I'd like to see them, but the book I saw this mentioned in didn't name names. I don't know who the actor is, what the movies are or what company produces them. I could go to Wal-Mart and pick out their cheapest DVD's and hope I land on one, but I'm not going in there until I get my second shot of vaccine, and even then I don't like the place. For one thing, there are always lines. They won't open enough registers to speed things up.

Yes, that's right. I've been to Wal-mart. Had to go there buy a cheap cell-phone. I figured if young people ever mocked me for using a flip-phone, I'd tell them it was the phone favored by criminals because you could pay for them anonymously.

These three-day movies are like everything else I want to see and can't. There were silent movies still being made in Burma at least until the 1970's, silent movies made in Thailand until the late '60's, silent movies made in 16mm color in San Francisco's Chinatown in the 1950's.

On the other hand, I did finally see some Nollywood movies and was disappointed. And I saw a couple of Jim Wynorski's semi-pornographic R-rated three-day movies and they weren't interesting.

My point was going to be that Armie Hammer can still be a movie star at a very low level if he wants. None of these disgraced actors will do it, though.
