People have been rationalising what his Dad did on the set of the Twilight Zone film for decades, it's not wonder he got away with this shit for so long. Revolting family.
Honestly with some of the stuff people are alluding to its insane he isnt in jail. Some of the stuff explaining stuff in here is fucked up, but a lot of the more ambiguous stuff sounds really fucked up. Like what the fuck does this guy to people?
Yep, his dad is far from clean and he made a lot of enemiesMax and his dad are such petty, vengeful, vitriolic pieces of shit, and it took courage to publicly speak out.
are there any details on what john landis actually did? most of the max landis stories have something about his powerful hollywood father helping to cover for him, but john landis doesn't exactly strike be as a particularly powerful figure. i'm sure he has connections and all, but his only movie during the past two decades has been burke and hare (whatever that is). what could he really do?
You mean John Landis, the man who was partially responsible for the death of 3 people (2 of them were children) and still continues to have a good career in Hollywood? He might have not done much in the past few years but he still has good connections.are there any details on what john landis actually did? most of the max landis stories have something about his powerful hollywood father helping to cover for him, but john landis doesn't exactly strike be as a particularly powerful figure. i'm sure he has connections and all, but his only movie during the past two decades has been burke and hare (whatever that is). what could he really do?
The Berg and many others told him to fuck off thankfully.You mean John Landis, the man who was partially responsible for the death of 3 people (2 of them were children) and still continues to have a good career in Hollywood?

His dad was a big name director for a long time and like father, like son, he basically got away with killing several people on a movie set. You might not know him but the people with clout did.
you two basically just repeated what i said. of course i know who john landis is, and i know about the twilight zone helicopter thing. it still doesn't answer my question: what did he do to cover for max landis? way bigger fishes than landis have been exposed in recent times, so i would like some details on how the connections of a has-been filmmaker helped to keep things secret.You mean John Landis, the man who was partially responsible for the death of 3 people (2 of them were children) and still continues to have a good career in Hollywood?

Yep, people asking if RLM will have him on again I thought they should not had him to begin with.
This has always been one of the weird things about this story. John Landis is rich but he certainly isn't some mega powerful Hollywood kingpin. And yet there's this idea that he's covering up for the son and everyone is terrified of him. If he is, how has he done that when more powerful people couldn't get away with their own crimes? If he isn't, then how did a moderately successful screenwriter get away publicly abusing people for years? This almost feels comparable to the Bryan Singer situation where you wonder if Landis is part of a network of powerful people and there's a bigger story here.are there any details on what john landis actually did? most of the max landis stories have something about his powerful hollywood father helping to cover for him, but john landis doesn't exactly strike be as a particularly powerful figure. i'm sure he has connections and all, but his only movie during the past two decades has been burke and hare (whatever that is). what could he really do?
I know this is a serious matter but this tweet got me.
Also for those wondering about his father:
I don't think so. Discussions of Landis are always vague, presumably for legal reasons.He sounds like a lot of manipulative people that I've encountered in my life, that I've allowed to take advantage of me because I have a bad habit of taking people at face value.
I'm almost afraid to ask this but a lot of posts linked in the OP allude to how horrifying his actions have been, that he's done things too fucked up to type out.
Is there a link that outs what that refers to? I don't want to put it out there to upset people but I think the more horrifying details should be exposed. People should know the full scale of what he's done to others.
That makes sense, thanksI don't think so. Discussions of Landis are always vague, presumably for legal reasons.
They are just smart enough not toI want RLM to invite him back again to definitively prove that they're pieces of shit too.

Man, the Best of the Worst episode with Max.... Max is a fucking cringe lord in that episode because he's trying so desperately hard to be like able that he comes off incredibly fake.I want RLM to invite him back again to definitively prove that they're pieces of shit too.
Remember when he didn't know what saxophone was?
This guy is a creep and an idiot
You can really see him trying to act like a humanMan, the Best of the Worst episode with Max.... Max is a fucking cringe lord in that episode because he's trying so desperately hard to be like able that he comes off incredibly fake.
By the end of that episode they all seem really sick of him
This has been known and people were steady putting him back on for rumored projects.
And that would be OK if their own comments are above reproach and of late....? They've ripped him at least once, probably twice on the show for being a shitbag once all the shit started hitting Twitter. I think they are more subtle self-burns because they are also embarrassed that they had him on the show
I still don't think they're alt-right but they do have some bad takes. And I mostly think it comes from Mike and Rich. Rich in particular is suspect to me.Yeah, like most people I was turned onto RLM because of their excellent prequel and Indiana Jones reviews. Gradually learning that they are alt-right sympathising, anti-"SJW" transphobes was...perhaps not entirely surprising, but horribly disappointing nonetheless.
