Yeah, and I can accept that TV experience doesn’t exactly correlate to movie-writing experience. But a) if experience is the key factor here, surely there’s enough overlap that it should count for something, and b) even if you remove that from the equation entirely, it’s a guy who wrote 2.5 movies versus a woman who…

The thing that I think it’s a little difficult for anyone to wrap their heads around who hasn’t dealt with abusers is that they groom their character witnesses just as thoroughly as they groom their victims. Scarlett has no doubt been subjected to just as much gaslighting as Soon-Yi, but it’s directed to a different…
Trying to justify it by saying these are “industry-standard established ranges based on experience” is especially fucked-up, given the strength of their resumes. He had one movie screenwriting credit and one “story by” credit prior to Crazy Rich Asians. She’d been writing for television for two decades. It’s a flimsy…
Naturally, Lim walked away, and a few months later Chiarelli offered her half of his salary to reach some semblance of parity. She still said no
Scarlett Johansson...
Noted drunk asshole Orson Welle’s burns are downright PRESCIENT.
I notice that men like Woody have a way of asking creepy questions in a way that doesn’t seem creepy... just genuinely curious, which is what actually makes it fucking creepy.
During the making of Match Point Woody Allen would ask Scarlett Johansson questions like “tell me about when you lost your virginity”. So, even if Allen isn’t a rapey scumbag (he is) he’s certainly guilty of sexual harassment.
I have no doubt that he’s very believable. Like, super believable and seems to be telling the truth, clearly, for her to say this in public despite *everything.*
She is such a self-righteous shit-heel. When Daniel Ortberg took over Dear Prudence, it took me a long time to even think about reading the column, because all I knew it as was “that place where Emily Yoffe calls women sluts”. She’s a complete and utter Serena Joy who is so filled with fucking malice that she’ll…
I used to read Dear Prudence and remember that while a lot of the advice was good, Emily Yoffee would go off the rails whenever anybody talked about rape or consent. It’s really odd that she would proactively choose write about rape and sexual harrassement stories in defense of the potential criminals. Even if she…
She was the driving force. She offered the bribe to get out of the arrest and immediately exploited the facts to bring a $50 million lawsuit.
This is evil and a disgrace! That poor girl must have been so scared and traumatized. I’m tired of cops getting a free pass.
Will you survive the present-day neo-feminist McCarthyism which, as well as chasing you all over the world and trying to prevent the screening of your films, among other vexations got you expelled from the Oscars Academy?
That question was a real mouthful considering he’s already humming Polanski’s ballsack and tonguing his asshole simultaneously.
“It wasn’t rape rape. Your silly outdated consent laws were the problem. Polanski was a butterfly on the wheel of American over-justice! #MeToo is out of control!! Feminazis are hunting him!”—Favorite comments left by Polanski defenders/contrarians
“... the present-day neo-feminist McCarthyism”
The stubborn refusal of these women to acknowledge the concept of personal space, and the exchange of consent vs. entitlement to the entrance thereof is depressing.
