To be fair, it probably had more to do with the politics of Swiss police extraditing a French citizen for the US. It would have set a precedent that could screw over someone when it actually matters. I'm sure plenty of the names did it because they think he's cleared, but I bet that's why at least Costa-Gavras and Claude Lanzmann signed it. Also, I read somewhere that Arthur Freed, MGM musicals producer, once exposed himself to Shirley Temple when she was a kid. Egbert Souse fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Nov 5, 2017 |

sethsez posted:I think it's fair to say the vast majority of filmmakers didn't sign that petition because they're concerned about French/Swiss relations. Roman Polanski still gets standing ovations at industry shows and that whole incident was about him being picked up while he was on his way to be honored. Eh, that's true. Reminds me of when everyone sat on their hands for Elia Kazan and Leni Riefenstahl in the memorial thing, but Polanski got an ovation.

Also worth saying that Riefenstahl actually served some time in prison and regretted (somewhat) her involvement with the Nazis.

This makes me think the stuff with Spacey is way, way worse than what's been reported so far.

Gibson seems more like the self-destructive type, classic case of untreated bi-polar.

I'd find Scorsese being a racist to be a bit unlikely given he's started multiple world cinema preservation/restoration programs. There's probably not a lot of overlap between racists and world cinema cineastes.

precision posted:Yeah... I don't know about this. It sounds like it could have been a legitimate misunderstanding. Franken would have to be just... incredibly stupid to do that, at a public event, while in office? And instead of saying something, with her husband right there, she just smiles? Eh... my brain hurts. Yeah, I'm calling bullshit on this one. The worst thing about this is that it's meant to stir up doubt in what victims say, which is beyond evil.

Replace Kevin Spacey with Kevin James with no explanation.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:honestly this is legitimately going to be hairy as gently caress for film preservation regardless of what direction they go The bigger problem is that the film industry has been so saturated in sexual assault and harassment, you'd lose nearly every great film out there. It's just something to accept that a lot of great art has been created by bad people. Moving forward, the best thing is to stop employing and enriching those who are keeping such a tradition from dying out. Firing actors and crew from productions is a good step. Modifying finished work after being available for a while is insane, though. Leni Riefenstahl made a version of Olympia that removed all shots of Hitler and other Nazis. Except that's hiding the fact that the film originally had them.

Three extras drowned and dozens injured during the filming of a flood scene. Curtiz also directed The Charge of the Light Brigade, which had a couple hundred horses die during the making.
