Method acting has nothing to do with this because genuine method acting doesn’t (SHOULDN’T) give you carte balance to abuse your co-stars and you stop the second they need you to. She had no idea what was happening and didn’t say “yeah, I’m okay with you pretending to an anally rape me with butter.” You don’t get to…

I mean, the Alien scene was a surprise for all of the actors except for the person on the table and operates as one of those “boo” moments, I guess. I was a little unfair to Scott, who was basically playing a harmless prank on his actors.

Whoa is this true? I am endlessly fascinated by men getting away with bratty behavior. I make one typo at work and beat myself up about it for days. I can’t imagine behaving this way.

They weren’t invested in her and an actor, ever. They didn’t picture her winning an Oscar for delivering a complex, emotionally disturbing scene with triumphant talent. She was just a girl-body, to them.

On a smaller scale (speaking of Hitchcock), Janet Leigh getting sprayed with sudden cold water when Anthony Perkins pulls back the shower curtain in “Psycho,” too.

Also experience. Schneider herself said she should have walked off and told her lawyer to work things out, which is exactly what Affleck did. Schneider as an experienced actor knew that, but as a teenager she didn’t. There’s a reason they cast young girls.

I think Kimberly Pierce handled this responsibly in “Boys Don’t Cry”. The rape scene in that movie is really awful and violent, but she protected her actors as much as possible by making sure they knew exactly how the scene would go, and they talked it over together, as well. And Hillary Swank was able to convey the…

River Phoenix decided (or, really, was persuaded by his director) that he needed to shoot heroin to truly understand his character in My Own Private Idaho. Two years later, he died of an OD.

Translation: I wanted to film a rape, and this was as close as I could get. Because it wasn’t really about the “art”.

I’m always reminded of Heath Ledger, who was essentially killed by his mental dedication to playing The Joker. IIRC, he locked himself in a cabin for a month and drove himself nuts, yes? And the constant stress of it all led to severe insomnia, and so he ultimately overdosed on downers?

This is disgusting. I’m so sorry Schneider never got any kind of justice — or even got to see that she wasn’t alone, that people were horrified on her behalf — before she died.

If she objects in the moment, she’s called unprofessional and is still pressured into doing it.

Especially because the boos, which were brief and scattered (and more directed at the ending than the film as a whole, I’ve heard), were mentioned here but not the 4-minute long standing ovation that Kristen and the movie received at the end.

Of course Jezebel wouldn’t do their research and report that, since KStew is on their shitlist for I forget what reason, so all articles about her have to either slut shame her or invent failures.

I’m not here to demand more of a child then a child should have to endure.

Nah.

I know I’m supposed to say that he was wrong and that was dangerous and he’s lucky.

They’ll give him an extra two dollars in store credit for the handful of AAA titles he wants to trade in.

Gamestop should give this kid something for trying to help out so bravely. Or stupidly, whichever makes you feel more like a cool internet commenter.
