I’m torn. While I think it should be the right of any person who is violated to tell the story how and when they want to, once you put that on instagram for the world to see, doesn’t it kind of become public use?

No matter how much (or how little) he makes off this subathon, Ahgren will remain a rich person who takes a chunk of his money directly from people who are poorer than him.

What lesson do you think Disney is going to learn by people boycotting this movie?

Yes, but I don’t have to pay Disney for it.  It’s called voting with your wallet.  

Her public support for the HK police during this shit show has convinced me I don’t need to see the new mulan movie with my kids.

Sounds like an unnatural rhythm, an abrupt flow and weird pacing, which is about what I’d expect from Disney’s live action at this point.

Policemen come into their town. They say they need one man from each family to help them fight the HK uprising.

Yup, though the tweet (the one I’m aware of at least) was more pro-police for Hong Kong. The PD in Hong Kong has a history of violence, corruption, and triad ties. It’s no wonder she’s had to keep her head low and hope it blows over.

I assume you’re talking about her pro-China tweet? I feel like she had to have been put up to it. But still, fuck those statements.

I’ll admit I’m getting a bit of schadenfreude over their star not showing because she managed to trip over her dick right before D23.

Pass. After the actress publicly gave her support to the HK police for its crackdown on the protests in Hong Kong I have no desire to see the movie.  

No mention of a boycott? Shitty political opinions? Nothing at all? Not even a morsel?

“shittiest thing ever”?

But if there is no bad behavior that is found after impartial inquiries?

Maybe another reason he won’t face backlash for this is because he didn’t attack the women accusing him, silently (after initial statement) waited for the investigation of his employer(s) to clear his name, and then we all moved on because we believed those women until his name was cleared and now we’re allowed to…

Why?  Why must everyone demand a pound of flesh?  This is ridiculous.

Good. Now bring me those Cosmos episodes.

feeling cautiously optimistic about that i can still be a fan and that he really was telling the truth, given that investigations by the museum and two networks cleared him of wrongdoing.

You know what? Fuck it. If a show or a stadium or whatever is so unaffordable without a huge government grant or tax break, we can do without or do with less. Make the costume out of spandex and tied-on plastic vines from Michael’s or something. If the writing’s good enough it won’t matter.

This sounds radical at first, but then really thinking about it, I agree.
