In any case the price of hookers has to be a lot less than the daily cost of the resort.


Eliot Spizer, who engaged the services of high-end New York City prostitutes, paid $1,000 per hour. That, from what little I know *ahem*, is about as high as it gets. There are web sites that have specific pricing, but use veiled language about why your get.

I think in the HBO series, the cost was $10,000 per day, with the Ed Harris character \.


Ed Harris is in it? I don't like
him, he plays Ed Harris in
everything he does. James
Garner did the same thing,
but he was charming. So was
John Wayne. Ed Harris is not
charming.

I think its the same thing as those "not an agency" ads in Vegas: the agency gets the bulk of the money.

That NCAA star turned hooker escort (http://diversitytomorrow.com/thread/171/0/) got offered higher rates directly after she was outed.

Some of the rates probably goes for secrecy and some for efficiency. In a Westworld situation there is obviously no secrecy involved.

I have no idea who Ed Harris is.

Tyler Perry always sounded to me like the name of an author of women's romance novels and always sounded feminine.

The theme of PTH (Putting Hubby Through) is common and often the Hubby splits after the Wife made the sacrifice of foregoing her education/children/etc

On Edit:
Just googled Ed Harris. I saw The Rock, Appollo thirteen. Don't think I saw the others and don't think I ever heard of a few of them.

This struck me as odd because Tyler Perry usually goes out of his way to break stereotypes in his movies.


Jungle Fever 1991


This film was written and directed by Spike Lee. He wasn't really afraid to work with stereotypes. I always thought this movie was underrated.

You never saw The Right Stuff? And you live here in Florida? I'm astonished. About the birth of the space race, and the Mercury program. Ed Harris was John Glenn, and he did a very good job of it.

The Right Stuff is a perfect companion to Apollo 13 and the documentary Apollo 13: To the Edge and Back. To those of us who lived through that time, it brings back the feeling of incredible optimism of the era. I vividly remember watching the Apollo 13 drama, never thinking for one moment that the astronauts wouldn’t come back. It was only watching the accounts years later that I realized how amazing it was.

He never stands out because he
always plays himself. He's usually
a cop, or a gov't official, or a villain,
like in the last National Treasure
movie.

I'm 59
I clearly remember the incident
I excitedly told my father the news
From his reaction, I was saddened because he did not think they would make it

You mean you missed Ed Harris as Beethoven. (he does kind of look like Ed Harris playing Beethoven_

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?
