HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Speaking of, is there a good behind the scenes book on TNG? Every story I hear about it is the craziest poo poo. It's hosted by William Shatner but you may also get a kick out of the documentary Chaos on the Bridge, should still be on Netflix. It's very specifically about all of the writers/producers/creative folks butting heads during the first two-three seasons of Next Generation.

Al Borland Corp. posted:Didn't he famously leave Scientology? Yeah, he was one of the big break aways and was interviewed in Going Clear. Looks like some Bryan Singer stuff might be gaining traction as he has (voluntarily?) had his EP credit removed from the TV show Legion. Fox is looking into removing his EP credit from the other X-Men show, The Gifted, but apparently that will be more difficult to swing.

Holy hell, reddit is full of apologists. Lots of people defending Louis CK who think there's nothing wrong with just asking a coworker if you can whip your dick out. Someone actually argued that bosses should be allowed to make passes at employees because the victim always report the incident to HR if they say no and receive retaliation. It seems like a lot of people don't understand that putting someone in that position is hosed up to begin with. RobotDogPolice fucked around with this message at 07:38 on Jan 6, 2018 |

Rhyno posted:Well they both look like idiots. i mean, the guy has a point. Wonder Wheel was made in the last 18 months, even if you didn't follow the story back when it was actually happening, Dylan Farrow first wrote an op-ed about what happened to her almost 4 years ago, which is about how long it's been public knowledge. It's the same thing I've been saying for years: did you genuinely not know about it (which would be shockingly ignorant for someone in the industry) or did you just not care until now? The guy who plays Arthur in the new Tick movie came out and told the story of his scene in the next Woody Allen movie to come out and explained his thought process and his guilt during filming and why he said yes even though he knew about these allegations and in telling that story, he painted an emotional picture of why someone would come out and say "i regret working with him and feel guilty about it". Ellen Page worked with him before Dylan's allegations were brought up again in the public sphere, and when she spoke out against Allen, she also explained how she came to have a part in his movie and how long it took her to realize her mistake. Krumholz is saying the right things now, but I wanna know *why*. Just coming out and saying "I deeply regret working with Woody Allen on Wonder Wheel" without explaining why he ended up there in the first place is a little questionable. What takes it from "it's good that you said this but how did you not feel this way when you were offered the part?" to "oh gently caress this guy" is using the "we don't know what *really* happened" bullshit that Kate Winslet and others have used to brush aside the allegations. Like, we don't *know* what happened but I believe Dylan Farrow when she says what happened to her, and the only reason anyone would say "well we don't know what happened" would be to question that story or justify working with Allen in the first place. edit: for reference: Ellen Page posted:I did a Woody Allen movie and it is the biggest regret of my career. I am ashamed I did this. I had yet to find my voice and was not who I am now and felt pressured, because “of course you have to say yes to this Woody Allen film.” Ultimately, however, it is my choice what films I decide to do and I made the wrong choice. I made an awful mistake. Griffin Newman posted:https://twitter.com/GriffLightning/status/919334227275145216 DC Murderverse fucked around with this message at 08:00 on Jan 6, 2018 |

I think Krumholtz comes off way worse in that exchange to be honest. In the year 2017 I don't think you can get to play the 'I didn't know about Woody Allen' card. You can easily just say listen, we don't know enough about the Allen issue to make anything more than a moral judgement. If you're comfortable working with him then fine, go for it, but I don't think you get to do it and then regret it later in the way that Krumholtz did. At least Griffin Newman said listen I was fully aware of it and I did it anyway and I think that was a mistake.

Yeah, Krumholtz comes off poorly and it has nothing to do with him doing the movie or saying he regrets it after the fact. The Page and Newman apologies are fine because they take responsibility for their choices and accept the criticism people would inherently have of them. Krumholtz lashes out in the worst way when he gets those obvious criticisms. He clearly wanted to be able to say "sorry" and be done with it. Like, "I was selfish and/or a coward when I took that role. I should have taken a personal stand for what's right and put that above my own personal or professional ambitions. I'm sorry for that. I'm sorry that it took this movement and increased scrutiny on the problem to get me to this place. I can only hope I can prove I'm sincere. Here's a donation to RAINN to start." That isn't that hard and wouldn't have made Krumholtz look like a screaming rear end in a top hat.

to be fair to David Krumholz, he came out and clarified exactly why his mind changed: https://twitter.com/mrdavekrumholtz/status/949513166878261248 https://twitter.com/mrdavekrumholtz/status/949515727249092610 He also apparently donated the worth of his 1k salary from his scene in Wonder Wheel to the Time's Up thing. I think his heart is in the right place, but boy he's bad at Twitter.

Vegetable posted:He's doing it for the publicity. His Twitter account is retweeting news articles about his apology. so do you believe that he's lying and still likes Woody Allen then? Honestly, I will happily let anyone who wants publicity for saying "I was in a Woody Allen movie and I think we shouldn't let Woody Allen work in Hollywood any more" whore themselves out for a day or two if it gets us any closer to Woody Allen having to reckon with what he did. A Krumholz here and a Page there, and maybe eventually someone like Kate Winslet or Emma Stone or Scarlett Johansson who have worked with him a lot in recent years will come out and say "he's a child molester who deserves to gently caress off forever". The reason his tweets last night were bad was that he was still using arguments that the people defending Allen use ("we don't know what really happened"), and also he reacted incredibly poorly to someone who actually asked about what exactly caused this change. Now that he's come out and clarified it's a little easier to buy it, and if David Krumholz genuinely had a change of heart and he or his publicist thought "hey we can get some attention out of this" then more power to them. I'll take every c-list jewish comedian who grew up worshipping Allen I can get to call him out.

Scott Derrickson recently tweeted that Bob Weinstein is legitimately the worst person he's ever met. I guess it's because he came out strong against his brother as soon as he could and was supposedly the person who helped leak the story to begin with.

I don't have trouble believing victims. Knowing the full history of the Woody poo poo, though, I just can't get on the condemnation train. It's the only case I can think of that sets off my skepticism alarms, and I don't blame anyone for either working with him or choosing not to work with him.

I mean 'guy likes girls younger than him' is pretty rote poo poo. But there's a big difference between that and legit child abuse. I mean if I was in that position, I personally wouldn't work with him. But I think looking at what's out there, anyone can justifiably make the case to say ah you know what, I don't think he did it.

It's the only case I can think of that sets off my skepticism alarms, and I don't blame anyone for either working with him or choosing not to work with him. Same, tbh. Woody def has done some skeazy poo poo w/r/t the timing around marrying Soon Yi, which is a weird situation far beyond their age gap, but I can't condemn him without knowing the full truth. I want to believe Dylan Farrow and feel terrible for her, whatever happened, but I also kinda fully believe Mia Farrow is and especially was batshit insane. Whatever happened to Dylan, whether it was Woody abusing her or the other theory of Mia feeding her lies at such an impressionable age, or whatever, I feel terrible for her and what no doubt was a tumultuous household to be in during the time of that divorce. The Allen situation just isn't as cut and dry as many others, so I can't really blame anyone in or out of the industry for falling on either side of believing Dylan or not.
