I think the omitting of the last line,

Lol the movie has nothing to do with white male privilege. I can 100% promise you that Ari Aster never once was thinking about addressing our current interest in white male privilege with Hereditary. If you want to mistakenly read into it that that’s what it’s about, go right ahead. But it’s not. And did I ever say…

Thanks. Yea, I gathered a bit of that from the trailer. But the film looks like an awkward mix between Small Soldiers and Born on the 4th of July. Tonally, it’s just all over the place. It’s an odd beast for Zemeckis.

I’m convinced that Marwen is *not for me*. That’s the kind of movie that is for kids (right? kids?) these days, who will take something away from it. Otherwise... who is this for? I have nothing but respect for Zemeckis, but if this isn’t a kids movie that deals with heavy-ass issues, I don’t know what this is.

That “white male privilege” reading of Hereditary is some high-school film class level absurdity.

That’s fair. But also, it was his company. Would you want someone to work for his company who cheated on you? I would feel at least a bit conflicted about that, depending on the situation.

Good riddance.

A complete piece of shit died. Bummer.

Good thinking. I’ve got a gyro coming over. Thai sounds great though.

Let’s see it, jackass.

I would never treat a partner the way Dykstra describes being treated by Hardwick. Why would anyone want to be in a relationship like that? I think that’s certainly enough of a reason why they shouldn’t be together. Is that enough that he should lose his career over it? I don’t think so.

Fox released a statement Sunday saying they were embarrassed Macfarlane worked there too.

Oh, no. I know. There are many different ways to abuse someone. It definitely sounds like he was a really bad partner to her. But also it sounds like it was a toxic relationship in general. My only point in all of this is that it sounds like a more complicated situation than a lot of people want to accept. But that’s…

I hear that.

I’ve considered it.

They’re all so brave to speak out against this on the avclub.

The less principled I seem? I’m principled as hell. I believe in truth and justice. This doesn’t seem to involve either of these things.

Sexual coercion is when tactics like pressure, trickery, or emotional force are used to get someone to agree to sex. It can be as as simple as encouraging someone to have a few too many drinks, or it can hide inside threats like “I’ll leave you if you don’t sleep with me.”

Haven’t you ever been sexually coerced? I’m certainly not always in the mood, but I’ve felt pressured into having sex because sex = intimacy to my partner. I’ve felt the burden of keeping a sexual relationship with my partner so they won’t leave me. It’s not a great feeling, but also it’s complicated and not…
