So, respectfully, then why in the ever-loving hell is your statement that Sarah Polley is “notoriously hard to work with” even relevant to her account of her experiences of sexual harassment in the industry? Do you have a point or does it just make you feel important to know people who know people?

this is weirdly poetic. it’s like a haiku on shrooms.

On the other hand, I love that a nine-year-old Polley would have the gumption to speak up in such a way.

If you’re not female, it’s often hard to “see” or witness the same things they’re seeing and witnessing. Sometimes it’s because men aren’t doing it around other men, and sometimes it’s because men tune it out when it isn’t directly affecting them, and sometimes men partake in it too, and are complicit in the sexist…

Beezus effing Christ. That man is a jackass.

Cool, but you know you just used *your* personal experience to try and invalidate hers, right? Also, where I come from “notoriously hard to work with,” is just code for “a woman who doesn’t put up with bullshit.” I’m #teampolley on this one.

She was in Slings & Arrows! I love her!

Perhaps:

A CBC camera man said that to a nine-year-old??? I’m surprised there wasn’t a royal commission.

Yeah, Ramona’s age was 9 in the stories, I’m sure Sarah was about 9. I remember those show episodes so clearly.

“actor-turned-writer/director-turned showrunner of the upcoming Netflix series based on Margaret Atwood’s Alias”

I loved her as Ramona Quimby and reading her anecdote about the incident with the camera operator when she was 9....wasn’t she about that age when she played Ramona?! Did some camera operator make that comment to RAMONA F’ING QUIMBY!? He must die.

Whiteness has an ignorance that is bottomless”

I grew up watching Sarah Polley in Ramona Quimby and Road To Avonlea and Canadian films, and by weird chance I keep running into her when I go on walks and run errands. I’ve eaten lunch or dinner or had a coffee sitting at the table next to her at least 7 times. Sometimes she talks to her companion about the project…

I like Polley. She seems cool and multi-talented. If you’ve never seen the autobiographical documentary she put together, The Stories We Tell, it’s well worth watching. The film is less about her and more about her deceased mother and there’s a mystery that’s central to the story that Polley does a good job of…

Wow. The road to Avonlea is paved through the many assholes she just tore. Bravo.

Sarah Polley is a national treasure for us northerners, so talented and eloquent :)

Well, it’s more like “intently listening to her boobs.”

So do we think Ann Coulter seethes at Conway being the defacto blonde ringwraith henchperson for this clown show or is thankful that someone else got tapped to be the carrier of the proverbial pissbucket?
