Rhyno posted:HE MADE A THING I LIKE JUST FORGIVE HIM I own American Werewolf in London and I watch it ever year, so I get the conflicted feelings there. Part of my $14 went into Landis' pocket, and I do think about that every time I watch it, and yet I still bought it and I still watch it.

If you run a paper mill and go out of your way to hide frayed electrical wiring and defective fire alarms from safety inspectors, while also forcing your employees to work sixteen hour days in order to meet a quarterly quota, and the mill catches on fire and kills four people, you're gonna go to loving jail.

To bring things back to the original point like 3 pages ago, Max will never be one of those celebrities that easily gets sympathy or empathy from the public because they hate what his father did, and Max is in that same industry. So regardless of what you think about the accident, reality is reality. People don't like Max Landis.

Honestly it's as much Max's own attitude as anything else- that edgelordy hot-take-dropping sense of entitlement (as best shown by his... creepy interaction with Lexi Alexander) turned people off even before there were any allegations of specific bad behaviors. And that added to a sense that he was only where he was because of his dad, which is true- but there are a lot of showbiz people who started off with really good connections and DON'T leave that kind of impression on people, because they try to be nice. (Nicholas Cage, for example, worked hard to try and be taken as an actor on his own terms, which is why there's no "Coppola" in his name.)

banned from Starbucks posted:That and the fact that she came to that decision after sharing private emails with and taking the advice of some random nurse she met for 5 minutes. That actually made me more sympathetic to Hamill's pregnant girlfriend as my female cousin went through a similar experience. Her boyfriend was an abusive prick who threatened the poo poo out of her when she got pregnant and drove her to the abortion clinic to force her to get one. She had to pretend to go along when she got there (dude was making all kinds of threats in the car ride there) but then told the nurse what was going on who let her call her mom. Her parents and her two brothers showed up and got her the hell out of there. Luckily my family is super close with each other so she's had a support network to protect her, and that dude has been long out of the picture. I couldn't imagine the kind of vulnerability and pressure of going through that alone or with people who are only looking out for their own interests and not yours.

This is actually pretty notable, because Feral Audio is the home of Harmontown and My Favorite Murder. And apparently the accused dude is blaming his behavior on self-diagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder and... podcasting being ruined by "the industry." Okay.

35 years ago, not 40. Also like someone else said, Max Landis already came off as a creep with the Lexi Alexander stuff. I had no idea what Feral Audio was beyond being a podcast "thing" but I heard about that accusation as a fan of Potty Mouth I'm a little surprised it's a big deal. The blogpost written by the accused appears to have edited out the parts saying he wants to shut down the site though.

I can't imagine anyone from this generation seeing that movie and being confused at that. Like, this is the challenge with remakes, you do have to find some new angle on the material. But, well, try harder.

Landis' original idea was itself a twist on the more traditional werewolf films like The Wolfman and Curse of the Werewolf. That's what those guys at the pub represent, that pub is right out of a 60's Hammer flick. So figuring out a way to do a twist on a twist is probably not something I'm confident Max Landis will be able to pull off.

I can't find the post but I believe someone in this thread earlier said that "Call Me By Your Name" and "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" were evidence that Hollywood wasn't taking sexual assault seriously. I just wanted to say that using those films as proof of that is absolutely laughable.

Both David Yates and JK Rowling doubled down on the casting of Johnny Depp as Grindelwald, and Yates literally can't stop talking about it, popping up every other month to tell reporters that "it's a dead issue." They absolutely did not give a poo poo.

There was also a good amount of unsolicited groping and touching in my recollection, but it’s okay because they ended up falling in love. For real though, some of this stuff probably wouldn’t fly in a film about heterosexual people, particularly if it was an older men and a younger woman.

got any sevens posted:Well its been a few years (and i never saw it) If you think that's the first book/film about youth being brought into society via a romantic/sexual relationship you really need to read more. It's one of the most common tropes in fiction and appears in loving every single form of ancient Mythology not to mention the Decameron, Canterbury Tales, or 1001 Nights but also is common in Victorian and classic American Literature but pretty much every form of world literature from ancient Tale of Genji to the modern 100 Years of Solitude . God help us is if they ever decide to adapt either of those to film. The stuff is common in film too.
