Haven't the wives of Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki had to deal with all sorts of nonsense from the Dean/Sam and Jensen/Jared Supernatural shippers? Some people just have no shame and take their fandoms/crushes/whatever too far now with ease of access.

One thing I wonder whether or not will come out is if there was funny business happening on the set of Nowhere Boy. Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Sam Taylor-Wood met when she cast him, he turned 18 during the film's production, and they announced their engagement a few months later at the movie's premiere -- when she was 42.

Nothing about that seems right to me.

I've been thinking about stuff like that, Courtney Stodden, Thora Birch and her parents, Scientology poo poo (esp. now that the Danny Masterson stuff coming out sounds absolutely horrific), etc. I mean, I don't know what to say about the more sensational stuff about pedo rings, but Hollywood is a youth-eating cult.

We could probably have a multipage thread derail about specifically the horror industry stories about how women are treated in that specific genre. There are some absolute total shitbags in the horror industry and it seems more concentrated than "mainstream" Hollywood.

We can watch the film S&Man.

Follow-up question: how has there been NOTHING on Larry Clark in all this time? I would have expected that he'd be a smoking corpse on a stake in front of Mann's Chinese Theatre by now.

He makes no attempt whatsoever to hide it. Another one I'm surprised hasn't been on the carpet yet is Luc Besson.

I don't know anything about Korine in that regard but his wife is like 25 years younger than him so I wouldn't be surprised.

Michael Bay's films read like a gay man making a movie to impress straight guys.

I feel like a gay man would know how to present women in a way that's alluring to straight men.

Explain why not? Because I get that "projecting what society wants and sometimes criticizing it and sometimes reveling in it" in every aspect of his films, including women.

Gay men aren't straight men that simply find women icky, it's pretty reductive to conflate Bay's stunted sense of what's 'sexy' with being gay.

Asia Argento has been really determined in this poo poo (for a really good reason, the Italian press is full of animals) but what I'm extremely surprised by is that she doesn't indict her own dad. I gotta think there's something there.

The Spielberg and Schneider theories are very popular but there haven't been any evidence or allegations for either, and their origins are highly suspect (Spielberg originates from Glover's bizarre, vaguely antisemitic essay and Schneider is from 4Chan, which means there's probably nothing there beyond iCarly "fans" projecting).

Nah, Schneider is 100% an exploitative pervert.

We're going to see more stories about old/older actors, directors and producers and poo poo they did in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Things are terrible now but imagine what poo poo show it probably was back then.

Basically all of them are going to get their turn. Seriously, read almost any autobiography of any kind of popular figure in the mid-20th century. A ton of poo poo that simply would never fly today.

I just hate seeing people brush aside the fact that women do these things as well. We can't fix this situation if we're acting like half of the problem doesn't exist, or that the male half of the problem is somehow worse than when women do it.

I think what people more react to is that the offenses are wildly disproportionate.

This certainly puts Lauer's roundly-criticized interview of Hillary Clinton in an even harsher light.

That's really funny, because it's one of the only non-softball interviews either candidate got. Journalism is debased.

Well, now Garrison Keillor just got fired by Minnesota Public Radio. I know nothing about him beyond general cultural osmosis about Lake Wobegon, so I can't really say if this was expected.

I don't know. I mean I believe the poo poo against Landis, but people saying that he has a "powerful" father is like... Well it's not true. There's a reason he's barely worked in the last twenty years.

I mean, the unspoken thing here is that Hollywood is jammed to the guts with marginally talented people who only have their jobs because of nepotism. There are many more Bryce Dallas Howards and Scott Eastwoods than Michael Douglases or whatever. Does anyone on earth think Gwenyth Paltrow is that talented? Would anyone else have gotten fourth and fifth chances at a career like Robert Downey Jr. if they didn't already know everybody in Hollywood from growing up around the industry? gently caress no.

The mania for ANZAC actors specifically is cause they work cheap and can do better American accents than British actors.
