Although Carpenter was famous for Halloween and I guess The Thing, he wasn't in the upper ranks, such as Spielberg, as far as the Club is concerned. So on one hand they didn't take him seriously, but were annoyed he was biting the hand that feeds Hollywood (bankers for one). So he was ostracized for a good long time, although was not annoying enough to be killed off. (Now Mel Gibson, however, pissed off the Tribe, and he was bitchslapped plenty for it.)
A second factor is that Carpenter pissed off both the Democrats, who infest Hollywood, and the Republicans, who weren't keen on anyone criticising corporations. He was viewed as politically subversive, and the good ol boys can't allow that (though Jane Fonda got away with kissing North Vietnamese ass 10 years earlier).
Exactly as I was saying. Compare it to Rik Mayall, who got killed off for a movie that most people don't even know that exists.
I get it, you are trying to defend him because he is not proven to be from the elite. But add that he made horror movies, he clearly had insider knowledge, he added lies in his movies, he lived to old age, etc. Do you really think he was trying to give us insider's information about the elite? :D Cmon... You cannot be that gullible. Research predictive programming and you will get why are they showing parts of the truth in movies. If you want to believe Carpenter was a good guy, be my guest. It changes nothing for nobody though.
Well, let's say he had insider knowledge from his keeping his ears open around Hollywood. I think he wasn't 'connected' in the sense of being a pedo (he's adult hetero that's all) and not in the sense of being corrupt and willing to do anything to get ahead. He took what he learned and made of it some predictive materials but not like the elite who deliberately release their plans so they can claim we consented after hearing them. And he's not in the Tribe.
I've heard him speak and my feeling is he's genuine and not a Hollywood phony. But he's enthusiastic in a rock musician way and wants to give people some revelations but is not a fanatic crusader. Yeah, I believe in him.
I don't judge you. We can agree that your opinion is not insider knowledge about his life and neither is mine. Perhaps he gave some great advice for your field and probably other great advices in general. It's good that you have a sober opinion about him and don't idolize him or something like that, which is perfectly fine for me.
What the fuck? I don't idolize people anyway. My 'opinion' comes from having met him and heard him talk about things, unlike some Internet remote observer. And back in the day, I read discussions about what happened to him and why, over the movie, and those upheld what he said to us in a small convention audience.
Insider knowledge? I physically heard the man talk about his life, and the industry, and what goes on in it. That beats some guy on a website opining vapor.
