that massive thing he wrote about Carly Rae Jepsen's music will always stick with me as the most extra thing anyone has ever done. It's like, one thinkpiece's worth of music criticism spread over 150 pages, a really embarrassing website and multiple videos. It's not even that his opinions are bad, it's just the way in which he expressed them, with the trappings of an insane asylum and the constant "i'm not crazy don't call me crazy" bullshit as if he was writing schizoid instead of just like, normal.

Max Landis is also a racist, so gently caress that smug loving gently caress. Anyone that defends whitewashing in films should do the world a favour and check out early because guess what? You're a racist!

Alan Smithee posted:I’ll admit I don’t know about that aspect of him When the live action Ghost in the Shell was rightly being raked over the coals and busily poisoning its own well by not only white-washing in its casting, but also considering yellow-facing ScarJo, M'Landis decided the best course of action was to defend the practice by stating there were no A-list Asian women, and that audiences don't want to see minorities. He made some weak-as-gently caress mealymouthed defence on twitter later, but as a part Asian person, I'd say he can unhinge his jaw and eat my whole rear end, the smug racist gently caress. Apparently us yellows are only allowed to be seen in the background exclusively saying "chingy chongy wing wong ching chong" or some poo poo, while some white motherfucker gets to take our roles because there's no loving way anyone wants to see anyone not white in a leading role. It'll lead to anarchy and civil unrest, apparently. The best part is that Ghost in the Shell, with its white A-list celebrity star that was the only person apparently qualified to play an Asian person loving tanked, while films with casts that were predominantly people of colour like Black Panther, Get Out and Crazy Rich Asians had huge box offices. It's almost as if people want to see something besides movies where the lead role is WHITE PERSON TYPE C, SUBSET 9 for a change. Not that I'm bitter.

Yeah, Crazy Ex Girlfriend is notable for having one of it's romantic leads being Filipino. It's uncommon to have a male asian as a romantic lead, especially since he was also a Jock.

He's still mad because the entitled gently caress wanted it to be a billion dollar forever franchise. I'm okay with that. e: like, he was already rich. The money is irrelevant, the prestige is what he wanted.

I think this fits within this thread's scope, at least re: the social implications: https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/27/21156445/onlyfans-leak-not-hacked-photos-videos The reason I bring it up here is that this kind of sex work is basically within the realm of entertainment media, and it illustrates the way that both formal and informal protections that are extended to wealthy, famous women don't always work for everyone else, and can even be counter-productive. A lot of the discourse surrounding this leak (which, at least at the moment, appears to be the result of people collecting and sharing images/video, not an outright security breach) revolves around what legal or technological means the people affected have to protect themselves, including copyright law, making it harder to download or share content in a web browser, and so on. Unfortunately, I think there's... a lot of naivete, among people (rightly) upset about how this went down, about how well either intellectual property law or technological safeguards would be against preventing leaks like this, while at the same time there are a shitload of people using disdain for copyright law in bad faith and showing their whole rear end re: misogyny and feeling entitled to violate people's privacy. I think we need much more comprehensive formal protections for personal privacy that don't rely on the mechanisms of intellectual property, both because intellectual property rights are wildly overextended in this country as it is, and also because redressing the harm of sex workers being named/publicized shouldn't have to rely on the logic of "incentivizing creativity" in the first place. But that's also kind of putting the cart before the horse, because the other problem is that the legal system just isn't financially practical for most people in this situation to begin with.

Also the director got another writer to rework the script and then had a pass at it himself, so the end product was significantly different from what Landis originally wrote

I don't think you're ever going to be able to offer a service to people where they couldn't just rip the content for themselves. I guess it's the risk you have to take though right? If you're going to offer or sell this kind of thing then it has to be with the understanding that not everyone is going to play fair. Not that it's right, but it's naieve to think otherwise.

Everyone should watch Portrait Of A Lady On Fire, it’s a masterpiece movie directed by Sciamma and starring Adele Haenel that really could have had a shot at the best picture Oscar if it wasn’t locked out for stupid rules reasons, and it deals with the patriarchy. It might even still be in theaters!

I’m searching the news, and it looks like it was such an out rage by the French public that the entire board of the Cesar award resigned and they are looking at naming a new board and taking steps to “modernize“ Here’s hoping!

Kind of wild that this was only two years ago, and was the headwind that #metoo was up against in France: https://www.npr.org/2018/01/10/577163155/100-french-women-pen-letter-saying-metoo-movement-has-gone-too-far https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ku-tRgWZuc I’m doubtful we’ll get a clear picture for a long time, but I’m curious what kind of studio boss arm twisting was going on behind the scenes to get supporters for this and the letter supporting Polanski from years back Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 12:27 on Mar 2, 2020 |

Tbf that was like 100 French boomer women. I can’t really think of a Catherine deneuve equivalent here but look at the way white women voted in 2016. Finding 100 in “Hollywood” is doable. It would be the female equivalent of James Woods and Scott Baio sure

Hodgepodge posted:i'm pretty sure the elite in france know that everyone is sick of their poo poo on every level and just don't care Yeah France's literary god was just finally "outed" and faced consequences for having young teens giving him oral sex in parks on a regular basis. It wasn't even a kept secret literally everyone involved knew he would find fans who had young daughters and they'd basically hand her over to him as his new "girlfriend". One of his victims finally managed to get a viral story and suddenly everyone is shocked, shocked that this is going on in France. edit: Actually turns out its literally as bad as it could possibly be, I wildly understand it. https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-nw-nyt-france-pedophile-writer-matzneff-20200211-6hyx2awz5jajtp3lji5iwhiyfa-story.html quote:Gabriel Matzneff, the French writer under investigation for his promotion of pedophilia, was holed up this month inside a luxury hotel room on the Italian Riviera, unable to relax, unable to sleep, unable to write.

Steve Yun posted:Yikes If you check who actually signed that petition it's just depressing (it includes Foucault, Deleuze and Derrida). TBF Sartre and Beauvoir aren't surprising since they were in the habit of luring Beauvoir's students into sexual relationships. A lot of left-wing intellectuals of the period were to some degree pedophilia apologists because they perceived it as fighting against rigid conservative taboos and thought the discussion should remain "open".

From Wikipedia: quote:Foucault claimed that perhaps children could consent to sex,[182] defended or promoted the practice of sex with minors,[183] and signed a 1977 petition to the French parliament calling for the decriminalization of all "consensual" sexual relations between adults and minors below the age of fifteen, the age of consent in France.[184][185] They say you should never meet your heroes, but if you don't, how can you kill them?
