First, Fury Road is not a sequel. It’s a reimagining/reboot. Regardless, yes making a new Mad Max 30 years after the last one is part of the point, because again, Fury Road didn’t exactly do gangbusters for its budget.

Practically everything in their response was either a straight-up lie or at least highly misleading. Kind of a masterpiece of bullshit, really.

“Calling Ticketmaster a monopoly may be a PR win for the DOJ in the short term, but it will lose in court because it ignores the basic economics of live entertainment, such as the fact that the bulk of service fees go to venues...”

How the Hell are Niles and Daphne not on the list?

I’m in favor of keeping the sublimated chemistry going on but stopping returning to the well of teasing things advancing only to pull back. Long-term work crushes are real, but it could be a hell of a lot less soapy. 

I love Abbott, I love Gregory and I love Janine, but I’m a little played out on the Gregory-Janine will they/won’t they. For me, the strength of the show is in the ensemble and how they all play so differently with the challenges of the setting.

There is no constitutional right to a job, or for an employer to hire you just because you haven’t been convicted of anything in a court of law. And he doesn’t have to have been convicted for me to believe the victims. The so-called “justice system” rarely provides any.

Holy fuck. Just because groping is really common where you’re from doesn’t mean it’s okay. It means where you’re from is fucked up.

Yeah, if anything, he’s been desperately trying to get back into show business. His personal sense of shame doesn’t even seem to exist, let alone be somehow preventing him from working.

Also, as a sidebar, he’s been accused of sexual abuse by upwards of 16 people. Those kinds of accusations are individually always…

Given the amount of gross behavior that Stone has definitely been the target of by powerful Hollywood figures, especially early in her career, it’s disappointing to see her on this list, especially with what appears to be a victim-blaming take.

Things can be gross and inappropriate even if they are somehow not criminal. Spacey seems to admit repeatedly that he was aggressive and handsy with men with questionable interest in his attention. Stephen Fry also confirms that. That’s enough to find yourself out of work.

As things stand, you don’t have to be found guilty of a crime for employers to not want to work with you.

It's crazy considering how recently Stone's been talking about abuse and coercion early in her career. It's like Mia Farrow defending Polanski. The cognitive dissonance is unreal.

I don’t really think he’s being shamed out of working. It’s just business. A movie studio worried people wouldn’t turn out to see a movie with him in it, so they replaced him.

Oh I think they’re going to be regretting those shows of support before very long...

“ generally accepted Western standard of ‘innocent until proven guilty’ however”

“Innocent until proven guilty” just means the jury should only vote guilty if they think there’s no reasonable doubt about it. Literally no one else in the world but those twelve people is under any obligation to consider it. And if anyone wants to argue this, I’ll just ask: did you wait until Harvey Weinstein was…

I just figured there isn’t much of an audience today for shows with Kevin Spacey in a lead role. No one really wants to watch him, let alone work with him.

I thought it was because she looks about ten years older than she did ten years ago.

“He wasn’t doing all our nerd stuff!”
