Carmack said about that quote:I was sort of an amoral little jerk when I was young. I was arrogant about being smarter than other people, but unhappy that I wasn't able to spend all my time doing what I wanted. I spent a year in a juvenile home for a first offence after an evaluation by a psychologist went very badly. I mean, he was 14 when he did the crime that got him the psych evaluation.

Mierenneuker posted:“For the record, the only things banned from [Christopher Nolan’s] sets are cell phones (not always successfully) and smoking (very successfully),” Nolan’s spokesperson Kelly Bush Novak of ID said in a statement. “The chairs Anne was referring to are the directors chairs clustered around the video monitor, allocated on the basis of hierarchy not physical need. Chris chooses not to use his but has never banned chairs from the set. Cast and crew can sit wherever and whenever they need and frequently do.” As someone who did background work on Inception, I honestly call bullshit on that statement. Nolan's set is the worst I ever worked on, he refused to let background sit down or go back to holding during turnarounds, so we were basically locked in place on our feet all day. The countdown on lunch (whether 30 minutes or 1 hour) isn't supposed to be started until the last person goes through the line and gets their plate, but as soon as I sat down we got the 5 minute warning. Most of us were non-union so had no rep to talk to, and none of the union background wanted to risk getting blacklisted by complaining to the PA (who was probably getting poo poo on even worse than us). Months later I was chatting with other people on a completely different set and a crew member immediately identified the set from my complaints, and said it was hell for them too. No one talks about it because criticizing a big director like that is career suicide, especially if you're lower down in the cast/crew hierarchy. You just shut your mouth and keep your head down and wait for the project to end so you can put it behind you.

snergle posted:i feel like carmak is right though? I doubt many people disagree that the Cultural Revolution had huge negative consequences for China as a whole, as well as for the individuals targeted and their families. The idiot part is where he brings it up as a comparison to people thinking J. K. Rowling and RuPaul are bigoted assholes for saying ridiculously transphobic things. Because that’s what he did; the other person’s thing is a retweet, and his text is his comment on it. Not the other way around. Just in case you’re not familiar with the hellbird site.

It's one of the most powerful countries in the world. It got there via the cultural revolution. You specifically said 'as a whole' which just seems incorrect.

There were a number of projects and programs which allowed China to become a world power, and the effects of the Cultural Revolution was pretty minor compared to the others.

Mostly the cultural revolution was Mao attempting to wrest control of the CCP back after he had started losing power to other prominent members, and included stuff like the Down to the Countryside Movement, which was basically designed to exile the children of his political rivals within the party The idea that it was this specific concerted effort to redefine society for ideological purposes is a rather amusing one

It's remarkable that some people's take is not "wow, his comparison is really disingenuous and in context transphobic" but "well, actually, about the cultural revolution..."

Disappointing to find out Order of the Stick has a bunch of CHUDs in it's fandom. one of my favorite bits in The Good Place (spoilers, I guess, but not really) was finding out all of Chidi's philosophical heroes were in the bad place because they defended slavery. "Can I meet Aristotle?" "Nope. In the bad place, defended slavery."
