The Human Nature Channel No. 3 Asia Argento #RedPillBill

Hey.  Welcome to the human nature channel.  I’m your host Alex Tamsula and … what am I doing here?

Well what I’m doing here today is putting in my two cents in about the Asia Argento affair.  Old news before it gets too old I know, I mentioned to my friend The Human Encyclopedia I was thinking about doing a video on Asia and her troubles and he winced at the idea.  What can I say.  I dig muscular chicks.

The applecart upsetting twist in the MeToo saga is the news that actress Asia Argento, the second high-profile accuser along with Rose McGowan alleging Harvey Weinstein sexually

assaulted them, was herself accused of being a sexual predator by the actor Jimmy Bennet, a young man Asia allegedly dallied with some years ago when he was 17, one hash mark below the age of consent in the State of California where these two were. 

Mr. Bennet had worked as a child and teenage actor, someone who had worked with Asia in the past, and who’s most noteworthy role to date being an adolescent James T. Kirk in the Star Trek reboot.

According to one story I read, as Mr. Bennet became an adult he started hearing ‘You’re not what we’re looking for’ a lot more, finding the transitioning from young adult actor to adult actor running none to smoothly. 

So one day he decided that if Asia was a victim, hey he must be one too.  Here we have a selfie of Mr. Bennet looking extremely traumatized, with Asia snoozing next to him presumably after being ridden hard and put away wet.  A matter of a requested settlement by Mr. Bennet’s attorney of 380,000 dollars along with the willingness of Asia’s boyfriend the late Anthony Bourdain to pay this guy off grabbed my attention in a peculiar way.

I’m reminded of the brilliant opening to Raymond Chandler’s brilliant first novel, The Big Sleep, which introduced the world to the hardboiled private detective Philip Marlowe.  Marlowe has an appointment with Gen. Sternwood at The Sternwood mansion to talk about the blackmailing of Sternwood’s nympho daughter Carmine.  Sternwood asks Marlowe his conclusion after hearing the particulars and Marlowe says, “I’d pay,” because “It’s a question of a little money against a lot of annoyance.”

There is the annoyance factor.  Did Asia make an error in judgment in not throwing this kid in a car and driving to a state were age of consent was lower?  If by error in judgement you mean what comes back to bit you on the ass real hard, I suppose.  380,000 dollars is a pair of stainless-steel dentures.

I bring up the Marlowe/Chandler reference to point out something nobody else has as far as I can tell.  I’m sure I’ll hear about it if I’m wrong but … there is a noir quality to all this.

An Italian actress from a movie making family swept up in a Hollywood sex scandal that brings down a mogul while some small fry engineers a pay-day.  Denials are issued, photos dispute them.  Money changes hands.  The boyfriend dies.  This has all the makings of a hardboiled detective novel, or a Giallo if you’re Italian, and fairly or unfairly Asia is cast in the role of the most spellbinding femme fatale I’ve ever seen.  I don’t think Asia herself is evil but I think dark forces do swirl around her.

So let’s put this story through the filter of unabstracted human nature and see what comes out the other end shall we?

Woo woo.

Nothin’ shakin on shakedown street …

Sitting in Pittsburgh as I shoot this video, I want to say we have a soft spot in our hearts for the Argento family.  We fans of George Romero think you guys are okay.  Daddy Dario worked with George on Dawn of The Dead and Two Evil Eyes.  And for the record I loved Phenomena with Jennifer Connelly.  Dario let that meat rot for two weeks just so he had enough flies for one scene?

Top that Werner Herzog.   

If you want to argue this point … feel free to leave a flaming bag of dog poop on my door step and ring the doorbell in the comments section below.  I want you to. 

Trolls, yum yum.  Trolls yum yum.
