So I was reading Rabin's review of that Rodney Dangerfield movie Ladybugs and apparently the lead got some interest when she did 3:10 to Yuma from a creepy blogger, and James Mangold ratted him out instead of obliging his request

It's loving inconceivable to me that someone'd be so blasé about their grossness that they'd email a director to hook them up with some illicit nude shots from their movie set. Like, please run headfirst into a fist a few times, my dude.

That guy must not be familiar with how things work in Hollywood. He should've given the movie a better review before asking for softcore outtakes. Lukewarm just doesn't cut it "pardner"!

Lmao, that email wasn't even a drop in the bucket of hollywood blase grossness, directors routinely receive unsolicited actual nude shots from practically half the town.

Apparently that guy has quite the history of being a real winner.

I vaguely remember a story about Christina Ricci sending nude photos to some director. I'm also now wondering if that was a smear campaign to make her look 'unstable' and justify working with her less. I mean, her high profile work rate has tapered of dramatically.

I'm more surprised that there's someone out there who thinks 'pivdog' is a good nickname.

I mean, I thought I was pretty jaded when it came to the dark side of Hollywood, but what I guess I didn’t appreciate pre-Weinstein was how blatant it was. I foolishly believed that the sex-chuds were able to operate for so long because they stuck to the dark. But then read insane poo poo like Jeff Wells telling James Mangold “hey, I didn’t like your movie, but howsabout you slide me dem nudes,” and it’s just like, oh no, this kind of fuckery was on show in the goddamn lobby

That was 2014, her work has been steadily tapering off since the early 2000s, and the 'sending nudes' story came about in 2006 or so.

Ricci doesn't seem like the type to do that, if for no other reason than she's been acting since she was a kid and already had a career, even if it did have its ups and downs.

The whole Quid Pro Quo/Casting Couch thing Ian McKellan referenced was more about the industry standard of new actors, who are just getting started in the business, offering directors sexual favors for parts.

It wouldn't surprise me if the sending nudes was something her dad suggested since her dad was super-involved in her career to the point of costing her work by being too overbearing, and apparently was also a bit of a creep himself.

And I don't see feet as sexual so I kind of don't know how to determine whether contextless pictures of feet are sexual in nature. Like I'm open to the idea that they might be sexual to a foot fetishist but without some context that I recognize as sexual I don't see how we tell the difference between sexual feet and just feet.

I suppose it's like nude images of minors -- they aren't always child pornography -- for example, the cover of Nirvana's Nevermind -- but if you were to have a collection of otherwise non-sexual images, with no common thread between them other than containing nude children, it's loving gross and weird. Or the weirdos on reddit who were collecting images of teenagers that were meant to be non-sexual, but were clearly collected for sexual reasons.

Asking kids to write things on their feet and send pictures is way past the line for "creepy" even if it's not technically a crime.

Exactly. I remember the story really clearly though. It came out when I used to read 'WWTDD.com' because I was young and thought that was a good thing to do. It just strikes me, in retrospect, as exactly the sort of story that paints an actress as 'eccentric' and justifies not working with her.

I remember that episode of What's the Tee?

Rose has seemed a little ... off for a while. Whether that's because of the horrid poo poo that's happened to her in the business or something else in her life, I don't know. I don't really care, either, because I still like her well enough and feel terrible about what came to light about Weinstein et al.

But she's been a little crazy for years now.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

All other things aside my biggest takeaway about Rose McGowan is that she seems to think that she's the smartest person in every room and if someone corrects her or attempts to corral her she just dismisses them as part of the sheeple problem.

Has it? I only remember a gross joke on Family Guy (Billy Ray says "Wait, so when you're wearing this wig you aren't my daughter, you're Hannah Montana, a different person? ... Put on the wig")

It’s also worth reiterating that Rose McGowan is on record defending convicted pedophile Victor Salva, who she worked with a couple of years ago. The message is good, the messenger is extremely problematic.

(Edit: in regards to raising awareness of sexual abuse, not in her trans-rights comments, obviously)

As far as I know Jared Leto's creepiness was contained to when he was touring with his band, and very few people want to start the conversation that begins "Bowie hosed teenagers and knew they were teenagers" and at some point has to contend with "if a person has a fake ID and is at a 21+ concert drinking alcohol, should the musician be expected to know their ID is fake?" The stuff coming out in Hollywood, from Weinstein to Ansari, is all much less ambiguously wrong.
