Sure, that does seem pretty hypocritical. But I think making Kelly face justice is a rather bigger priority. Why isn’t he the one being confronted about this in every single interview?

Yeah. Iconic as the X-Wings and Millennium Falcon are, it would be nice to see something new once in a while... that rather sums up the dearth of creative ambition with the new movies.

Does Star Trek: The Next Generation count?

I meant that it doesn’t feature any nudity or swearwords, but when you put it that way I see your point. :)

Well, that was a fun little video. Thanks for posting it.
(Not sure what’s so ‘NSFW’ here, but maybe that’s just me being jaded.)

I think bad memories of The Core also helped undermine Danny Boyle’s Sunshine. It’s a better film, but saddled with almost the same absurdly unscientific premise. (In fact, doing it in a more serious way just highlights its stupidity.)

Not to mention, a few convictions and major compensation settlements.

Diogenes was doing cynicism before it was cool.

Wow, I had no idea about his wife. That’s awful. This whole thing sounds very impressive, but I’m not sure I could bring myself to watch it.

If it wasn’t obvious to everyone from the start that Twitter is a dumpster fire, it should have been at least from the ‘Gamergate’ shitstorm of 2014. Anyone still using it after that has no excuse.

I thought the whole of ‘Hail to the Thief’ was...

“Trump attempting to use his power and influence to intimidate women into sleeping with him against their will, or bragging about how he can touch them whenever he wants without their permission...”

I mean, if I’d been forced to give Harvey a naked massage (or worse), I’d think an Oscar would be the *least* I’d accept in compensation... frankly, anyone who went through that deserves every award they got.

And see, I don’t mind you saying that! Freedom of speech for all is my point. Let people make their accusations, and let the accused defend themselves. A conspiracy of silence helps nobody but the guilty.

Believe me, I’m aware of that. I’ve known people on both sides of this, both rape victims and victims of false allegations. Both are absolutely horrible things to happen to anyone. All I’m saying is, if we *had* to choose between them, I would rather live in a world that saw more false allegations if it also meant…

To be clear (I’ve already clarified this below, but people didn’t notice), I was not at all suggesting that the legal burden of proof should be changed. I do know what ‘not guilty’ and ‘burden of proof’ mean, and I don’t think there’s any need to change the actual law in this regard. Just our attitudes, perhaps.

I don’t ever assume anybody agrees with me. But then, I like disagreement and debate. Consensus is boring. :)

Well, that’s what they would like you to think...

Oh, it’s definitely news, I’m not questioning that. I just have an old-fashioned distaste for broadcasting filmed deaths. I don’t know, maybe it’s just pseudoreligious superstition, but there’s something inherently offensive about it to me.

Thanks for that update. Somehow I’d never bothered to check.
I’d like to be able to think that Singer is a decent guy, and Spacey... I hope this one was smoke without fire.
