For anyone who might've wondered how Thurman actually feels about Tarantino, she posted this on instagram: quote:Quentin Tarantino, was deeply regretful and remains remorseful about this sorry event, and gave me the footage years later so i could expose it and let it see the light of day, regardless of it most likely being an event for which justice will never be possible.he also did so with full knowledge it could cause him personal harm, and i am proud of him for doing the right thing and for his courage. I think the general idea that he realised that he hosed up, but it was the producers who did all they could to shut it down. HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:You know what? I'm honestly surprised at Dario: Same. He's not had the best attitudes towards women. It's why I don't really think someone should be raked over the coals for saying that now they have a daughter, they understand how bad this poo poo can be. Yeah, you should know it already, but having it happen to someone close to you - or just imagining it happening to someone close to you - brings it into sharper focus. This is pretty hosed up though. Nor should it be forgotten that Anthony Edwards detailed his own abuse from early in his career and it made next to no traction.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:You know what? I'm honestly surprised at Dario: when its your daughter it doesn't matter how many of your peers are being complete loving pricks about it, you're gonna speak out. which, good. in all honesty, i imagine that most of the great horror directors/writers are actually fairly well-adjusted people (by hollywood standards). Carpenter seems like a cool old dude who smokes weed and plays video games, Stephen King is a fairly normal guy (now), I don't think I've ever heard negative stories about Wes Craven, Travis Barker or George Romero.

I'm 2 degrees of separation away from a lot of people in horror because of work I've done in the local film and TV community, so I have mutual friends on Facebook with people like Kane Hodder, Bill Moseley, and Rob Zombie (the most famous person I personally have on Facebook is J. Larose because I've worked on two projects with him, and his daughter went to my high school and is friends with my brother). Overall they're mostly regular dudes apart from that tinge of weirdness you need to have to be a middle aged man in the horror community.

gently caress, as if, at this point 'you can be in expendables 4, no problem' is any kind of loving leverage. Crews was barely in the third. He was more keen to be on a show with Andy Samberg.

Question for those with connections to the industry, I'm curious, is it just me or is Hollywood one of the worst, most extremely stratified social hierarchies in the business world? Like fame and power has so much to do with who you're even allowed to talk to. And then on top of that there's how pervasively acceptable verbal abuse is between superior and subordinate. Something tells me Swimming with Sharks isn't really that far off from reality.

K. Waste posted:White person with money and influence. It's astounding to me how the Adam Venit thing with Terry Crews is being outright ignored by the media. It's open racism, plain and simple. Is anyone supposed to believe Adam Venit would still be employed if Terry Crews was a young, attractive woman? It just makes me want to loving vomit thinking about it.

Has this article with Tarantino defending Polanski been posted yet? Because it is extremely disturbing. From 2003 Howard Stern: https://jezebel.com/heres-audio-of-quentin-tarantino-defending-roman-polans-1822745916 "Tarantino: No, that was not the case AT ALL. She wanted to have it and dated the guy and— Quivers: She was 13! Tarantino: And by the way, we’re talking about America’s morals, not talking about the morals in Europe and everything. Stern: Wait a minute. If you have sex with a 13-year-old girl and you’re a grown man, you know that that’s wrong. Quivers: ...giving her booze and pills... Tarantino: Look, she was down with this."

Online journalism is really bad about doing that; "Thing Person Said 10-20 Years Ago Juxtaposed With Recent Events". That's not to defend what he said, because lmao he said some incredibly stupid poo poo, but I feel like it's possible he's changed his mind or realized how dumb he was being since, again, it's been fifteen years. People have the capacity to change.

It was 15 years ago, but it was also 15 years ago hot on the release of his epic, two-part, revenge film starring his tortured 'muse' Uma Thurman, herself a victim both of Harvey Weinstein and his own coercion/abuse. It's certainly possible that Tarantino has had time to be embarrassed, but even when you consider it in the context of the time in which it was said, it's a particularly loaded moment that betrays a facet of Tarantino's artistic/celebrity cult of personality. I don't think it's so much about charging a man for being a rape apologist 15 years ago - although that's certainly enough. We can still discuss the event itself as a microcosm of exactly the problem, and which, even if it's not Tarantino who is personally espousing this bile anymore, is definitely still being spouted somewhere, and is especially troubling when it's spouted by people who pander art that exploits cultural-ethical crises while fundamentally offering no alternative.

No argument there. I'm just saying, the passing of time is important in one way, which is that one should never read something someone said 15 years ago and immediately jump to "they must still be that way". I assure you that we have all said things that, 15 years later, we would never imagine saying.

Well Uma did clarify her feelings on Quentin: https://www.instagram.com/p/Be0x6OCFRwQ/?taken-by=ithurman And then Quentin gave more details on what happened: http://deadline.com/2018/02/quentin-tarantino-uma-thurman-harvey-weinstein-kill-bill-car-crash-new-york-times-1202278988/ But the Polanski comments are still a loving mess. I guess he could've changed his mind since he didn't sign the 2009 petition that literally everyone else signed.

i'm kind of getting the impression that Tarantino used to be a really, really lovely person, but had some kind of epiphany at some point and has legitimately been trying to turn around and use his platform for good almost like a real-life My Name Is Earl or something, but... grosser since Jason Lee is cute and Tarantino is a strange troll-man with a foot fetish
