In the first season they had an extremely long setup to him using the wrong bathroom, hugging a child and the child mistaking a water bottle in his pocket for a boner and running outside and yelling to her mom, and him desperately trying to escape though the bathroom window because there's no way to explain that, and it might be the hardest I ever laughed

Alan Smithee posted:Max Landis is back by unpopular demand...sort of I think ring lights are great in photography and useful in cinematography and bragging about buying one is loving insane if you want to be considered seriously as a director or whatever he wants to be. You can get cheap ones for less than 100 dollars, which is basically free in terms of LA, especially when you've sold screenplays for over a million dollars. I shut the video off in under 30 seconds because he started by bragging about buying a ring light if you can't tell.

LIVE AMMO COSPLAY posted:I don't know how much the show could ignore it given Jeff's entire character. Jeff is accused of looking just like Harvey Weinstein in the newest episode.  He's all dishevelled looking and actually does look like him.I'm paraphrasing but a woman walks up to him at a party and goes, "you loving pig! how dare you!" Later on Larry keeps wanting to get sausage rolls from the server at the party but keeps missing out. He then follows her into the preparing room and she thinks he's been ogling her all night! He stammers his way saying he just wanted some food but she keeps interrupting him. As she's walking away he reaches for a sausage roll but instead he grabs her breast... There hasn't been a repercussion yet (aside from her calling his office and telling his secretary) so I think it'll be a big arc for the season. We'll see what they do with it.

Anonymous John posted:The NY Post sucks but it's a good article. There are also other articles which discuss the book in question which are from less disreputable sources. I agree it sounds interesting, and I think it gets to an interesting point: first, that men are harmed by patriarchy too, and beyond that, basically no one has any clue how to have an emotionally healthy romantic and/or sexual relationship. We've come a long way with dealing with matters of gender equality and harassment (though obviously there's still a way to go) but as we've worked on getting rid of lovely relationship behaviour, we haven't really taught people "okay, now here's how you find and maintain a healthy, beneficial relationship instead," so now there's a bunch of men and women who are frustrated and lonely, and while I suppose that's better than people being in lovely, abusive relationships, I think we should be able to do better.

Ah Terry. Like, yes that is probably his experience on the show, but isn't everyone just going to be on their best behaviour now anyway so it's kind of a moot point. Sad to see him immediately forget anything he'd learned when he went through his own poo poo.

He doesn't dismiss her complaint in totality, he says that in his experience he didn't see signs of the part of the complaint you might expect to have also effected him. Do we expect people, when asked, to give lockstep mindless support even if it doesn't match their own experience in similar circumstance in the same workplace? I'm not sure that's healthy or helpful.

Do we expect people, when asked, to give lockstep mindless support even if it doesn't match their own experience in similar circumstance in the same workplace? I agree with this but I think there's a bigger problem. Why do we need to hear from him in the first place? Like if that's not his experience, then cool. That's great! But there's really no reason for him to speak out in support of the show. It does kind of invalidate his co-worker's experience even if he is being honest. I'm not faulting Terry here at all. I love the guy so much and he's an incredibly brave and amazing dude. If he's asked to speak, it's cool for him to do so. I'm more concerned with the public reaction of like... Wanting to hear EVERYTHING from EVERYONE after one person comes out with their story. How about we focus on internalizing the initial, and very important story, as opposed to looking everywhere else to round out the context. I'm mainly able to complain about this as my instincts always used to be look for information just like this until I realized that was a pretty unhelpful approach to these types of situations. Let's hear out the person who comes forward and give them the attention they deserve. Chili fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Jan 25, 2020 |

In the interview he goes further. He pretty much endorses the America's Got Talent work environment and passionately disputes the allegations because they're anonymous. I'm sure it's a big payday for him but he can just as well gently caress off. e: Gabrielle Union responds https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/gabrielle-union-terry-crews-americas-got-talent-sexism-racism-1203479244/ Vegetable fucked around with this message at 05:51 on Jan 27, 2020 |

Yeah I think this is the bigger issue. Like of course, Crews is only being honest if he says hey for me it has been a dream (Though what really does anyone expect, that he shows up for his first day and everyone immediately gets racist?). But it's the way it has been clearly set up to counter Union's claims, claims that Crews was happy to support before he joined the show.

Asia Argento had to flee Italy when she made her accusations against Harvey Weinstein public. I know she's since been accused of forcing herself on a 17 year-old, but that wasn't the reason she was being dragged through the street by the media.

I don't know, I mean in a way I don't care about Depp and Heard's dirty laundry but Heard just really comes off like somebody who's a complete sociopath who lucked into being born beautiful enough to get away with terrible things. I think Heard knows that Depp doesn't want to leave her because he's too attracted to her, and maybe she throws him a bone now and then and acts like she "loves" him to keep him hooked so she can heap abuse on him because she gets off on the power she has over him. Which is, of course, how a typical abusive partner operates. Have something the other person needs, portion it out to them, then yank it away and/or physically harm them and then repeat the cycle.

That’s where his friend Julia, who was sober, found him. She dragged Dylan, stumbling, to the bathroom and had sex with him on the floor.

If you're saying that my post was implying that "all women use their looks to get what they want", then I'm sorry I didn't clarify. I meant sociopaths (I mean assuming Heard is one, I've known several) who also happen to be attractive will use that as a means to get what they want or to abuse other people. Did Depp have this problem with any other woman he was in a relationship with, or just Heard?
