that’s what I got out of it, He didn’t want it to be zombies just because they need an enemy but that there was an allegory to be made like the famous zombie movies did. that’s a smart decision.

It seems like Gabe’s objection was more philosophical/conceptual, but from a saturation point he’s also not wrong. That era was rotten with zombies in movies and games. It was a really tiring fad. In my mind, the only reason l4d really shined was because of just how ridiculously well executed it was as a co-op horde…

This is the deep cut vampire pedantry we need.

Wait what? He won some Tony’s so he’s allowed to grope any woman he wants at any time? I mean I guess that seems reasonable the way things are going in 2022...

“In my day, when you filmed a sex scene in a movie, you were allowed to touch any part of the woman you wanted.  It was called being spontaneous!  Wait, where are you going?”

And then there are people who argue that buying Netflix would have saved Blockbuster when, in reality, all it would have done is kill Netflix.

His complaints are deeply silly; he is a man; I’m curious where you think 84 years old falls onto the bell curve of living humans.

Huh, the premise of your argument is that the casting department didn’t know Frank Langella was an octogenarian...

So how many Tony’s does one have to win before one’s jackass statements and actions are excused by people like you? Is the first one the golden ticket or is it the third?

Ironically there’s a not insignificant amount of ageism from you in this comment.

That’s a LOT of speculation that you PULLED out of THIN AIR.

He got fired and decided to tell everyone. Who gives a shit how many Tony’s he has? If he’d just shut the fuck up, no one would know what had happened. What he did was silly. And he is an old man.

Uh oh. HBOmax is making a series about Netflix. 

*Man gets told he can’t touch other people’s bodies however he wants*

I mean by all accounts he dug his own hole on this one.

Because he’s being silly and acting old and out of touch, no matter how good his takes on Dracula or Nixon were. I better write a letter to Deadline whining about being canceled.

Whenever I hear about someone complaining something was “unamerican” all I hear is “I wanted to do what I want and trample on the wishes of others... and somebody wouldn’t let me.”

It was good of him to confirm that he was fired for being creepy and inappropriate, not to mention ignoring specific instructions from the higher ups. You weren’t cancelled, Frank, you were fired for not doing your job properly. It’s “consequence culture.”

That’s all on him. He could have discussed beforehand his methodology with the  scene partner and intimacy coordinator so some guidelines could be established.

I am SO GODDAMN OUTRAGED that I basically agree with most of this and don’t have a chance to write a sarcastic spittle-flecked list of all my problems with it.
