IRQ posted:That's a shame. If all this poo poo is true he really went to great lengths to cultivate an image of a good guy. Like to a weirdly large degree. I feel like society is losing sight of the fact that people can be, generally and mostly, "good people" and still do "bad things". People are complicated and even the best of them are often at most halfway in control of their actions. I've known a lot of people who "couldn't" resist yelling and saying hurtful things in anger, I'm sure we all have. It's been a really long time, more than a decade, since I let myself lose my temper and speak hurtfully in anger. You know how difficult that is? It's really, really difficult. Especially with my wife, who has anger issues and NVLD, it's incredibly difficult to stay calm and tell her I love her even when she's yelling at me. In my experience most people just "can't" stay calm like that.

yeah it's not even a little bit surprising that Aziz let his fame go to his head and basically acted like literally every frat boy in America like "if she doesn't say no, you're good to go" sounds like it could be from his stand-up

let's face it, sex is gross and ugly i'm not being ironic, or kidding, and i'm also not saying my wife and i don't have sex, i'm just saying... sex is gross and ugly and weird even when you're doing it right

Yeah I wasn't dogging on Ansari in general, i think he's often hilarious and master of none is legit amazing, but he always struck me as more than capable of being a douche bag. Like you're basically using the "virtue signaling" argument without explicitly using that term and that's just not cool or interesting. Nobody sane is happy or thinks they're getting Internet cred for being unsurprised at news like this.

nate fisher posted:Let me be honest, as a teenager back in the 80's good chance I did things as bad as described by his victim. Several times I tried to pressure girlfriends into sex or when I was told they didn't want to go any further I used the 'back off and try again strategy' (which never worked). Also as a male I was in a presumed position of power. Not proud of it, and while I was a young and dumb its not an excuse. Still I was a teenager, and once I matured I came to realize I should have stopped at the first hint they didn't want to go any further. Still it is hard for me to understand how a thirty-something male who claims to be 'woke' can make those mistakes. It is creepy and complete abuse of power. That said I was reading on another forum where people were using terms like 'rape' and saying that his life should be ruined for what he did. While I am pretty sure we can all agree it wasn't rape, but should his life be ruined over this incident? Or am I allowing the mistakes made by a 15-16 year old me influence me when it comes to judging a 34 year old man? While I have a pretty similar background/age range as you, I've had quite the opposite experience. I've had women get me drunk and pressure me into sex (and some gay men as well, but I was usually quicker to shut that down). Having my boss ply me with free whiskey all night and then send me to her friend's hotel room - despite being incredibly drunk, I was able to leave the hotel room and walk home (in 15 degree weather). Things like that happened several times, but there are also times like the ex-girlfriend of a bandmate insisting she "just want(ed) to watch movies" and then, after getting me drunk, begging for sex, and finally telling me that if I didn't perform she'd smear my name all through the Knoxville indie scene. That's partially why I'm leery when people say "every man in Hollywood has done this" or similar things; women are more than capable of being awful too, it's just an unfortunate truth that there are more men than women in power especially in Hollywood.

nate fisher posted:Most of this all happened when I lived in Johnson City (HR manager happen here in Knoxville). One quick final note (I promise) on this derail: one of the incidents was in JC, after heavy drinking at New Beginnings. I was cornered in a dark bathroom of someone's house by a man who was very, very insistent. I managed to get away without doing anything with him. A month later I found out he was HIV positive (and had been for a while). gently caress that was scary.

Looten Plunder posted:Ahh, I knew the name was familiar. There had to be something unique for me to know about a venue on the other side of the world. It's actually moderately famous in the gay tourism world; despite being a very small town, Johnson City has (or had at one point) something like the fourth highest percentage of gay men in the country. They also used to have pretty much the best drag show in all of the South. e: I know it's gauche to get excited about anything AMC has done, but man this looks good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPos66MpHe8 precision fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Jan 16, 2018 |

james bond is inherently a misogynist character from jump street. like you have to actively scrub that off, and none of the Craig bond movies really do that. That said, Casino Royale and Skyfall are okay action movies.

Spatula City posted:Is there a point where The Orville actually figures out what the gently caress it wants to be? Because, four episodes in, it's mildly enjoyable, but it's mostly Diet Coke Star Trek With Jokes and a Bigger Budget. I think it just kept getting better as the season went on, but it sounds like it just might not be your cuppa tea.

it seems like women get called out for being one-note more often than men do. i mean chris pratt is the same in every role. i don't have any strong feelings for dushku one way or t'other but i don't think being one-note is a de facto crime against media

STAC Goat posted:I just have no idea how to put my opinion about that trailer. Like I love the movie. It feels weird to say the trailer is... too catty? Too immature? Too snarky? None of that makes sense because the original was all those things. I guess the original just had an edge and a seriousness to it? It was dark humor. That trailer just feels more like Mean Girls or a Murphy thing or something. Maybe its just hard to duplicate the ability/chemistry of Winona Ryder and Christian Slater? Funnily enough it looks like the one thing they got right was the teachers.

honestly it's best to think of POTUS as more like the Monarch of England than not. while Trump (and others) have certainly given us painful reminders that POTUS does have legitimate power, what's more important to the world stage is just being a good statesman and Obama was very much that.

That performance is one of the most human things on television, especially in season 2 with the romance plot. The Mattress King was amazing.
