Looking up Emil Hirsch on IMDB, I see that he has a role in Trollhunters (A Del Toro project). With Del Toro's support of Polanski too, it seems like he is perfectly fine with ignoring people's lovely behavior.

Tarantino makes a movie that exclusively hires infamous Hollywood abusers and sex offenders. It’s all a plot to lure them into a room wired with explosives.

That's hardly a Mike Judge exclusive delusion. Liberals to this day and probably in this thread also blame the dumb poors for Trump's election. It really is remarkable how a few thousand white unemployed factory workers in the Rust Belt get all the blame rather than the usual Republican constituency which numbers in the tens of millions, I guess because Democrats have for some bizarre reason decided that the latter group is more likely to vote for them.

In a more subforum-relevant albeit still technically off-topic note, when I watched Idiocracy I missed the opening prologue that explained how dumb poor overbreeding ruined the country, and started off with the main character waking up in the dystopian future. Consequently, I thought the reason everyone was so dumb was because of several hundred years of pointless counterproductive corporate brainwashing. Every other scene someone says or does something stupid solely because a corporation gives them money to do so, but the breeding thing isn't referenced again until the ending. Really improves the reading of the movie there I'll tell you what.

Three loving cheers for Weinstein getting arrested by the way. I'm still amazed that actually ended up happening.

I wonder how much of that stuff is overemphasized by the narration. The movie isn't perfect but the narration is really bad, especially when it's playing over scenes that would probably move the story forward just fine (but using actual jokes instead of exposition.)

The narration, I believe, was added to cover for the scenes they were unable to finish because Fox killed their budget.

It's not actually saying "We no longer allow filmmakers to demand sex in return for parts." It's just saying that SAG-AFTRA will be limiting the ability to conduct auditions in homes or hotel rooms, a likely area for this to occur.

yeah this is actually a legitimately good move that will probably genuinely stop at least some sexual assaults. it's probably not going to be taken as such, though, because nobody actually reads articles if the headline tells them it's something bad.

It's very reminiscent of laws being passed in 2018 that say that police having sex with people in custody is actually sexual assault. Sure that's a good move but it seems horrifying that seemingly didn't come up until now.

Britain is currently going through the fun debate of 'if an undercover police officer spends years deceiving a woman about his true identity and character specifically to spy on her and her friends and fathers a child with her has he committed rape and is he responsible at all for the child?' with the garbage met predictably arguing no to both.

Yeah, precisely. Like, again, I'm not arguing that this is not a good move, but it stuns me that it wasn't until 2018 that the unions got it in writing that "no, you actually have to hold auditions at a studio or in a meeting room, not your loving hotel room." It's like how Madison's police department continues to oppose its officers wearing body cameras while the jail is packed with people on weed charges, like, "What the gently caress is wrong with you?"

Again, I feel like you should go look at what they're actually doing. This isn't just them saying "don't gently caress your auditioners," it's them banning auditions in homes and hotels, even if no sexual assault occurs, to make it less likely that anyone will try casting couch bullshit.

Yeah, I read it. That they're just now considering banning something so obviously unseemly is a little jarring, to say the least.

Exactly. From a legal standpoint: what the gently caress.

I do think there's been some instances where auditioning someone at your house hasn't been a ploy, like when filmmakers want to cast their friends and just invite them over for a quick audition just to make sure. On the other hand, I'm not sure Harvey Weinstein actually had any friends who weren't fellow rapists.

I dunno, the cop is definitely responsible for the child, but ultimately the other person did consent even if they didn't have all the facts. You can't retroactively retract consent just because you found out something you didn't like about a person. It'd be like someone trying to claim rape because they found out their sexual partner was trans.
