Fuck Mark Wahlberg and his racist past, his insistence that he’d have personally stopped 9/11, his inclusion of an antisemite in a religious movie, and his creepy shift from racist underwear model to guy that wants to preach to you.

Got it, you were a shitty employee. Okay, no need to tell the whole internet about it.

So you sexually harassed your coworkers?  Ya, good you worked when people looked the other way.  Creepy though that you admit that. 

I think you need better material

Lol dude this is Netflix. These are the same guys who kept Danny Masterson around even after he was accused of rape in court. They gave Kevin Spacey a show for five years and looked the other way the whole time. How egregious must Langella’s conduct must have been for them to fire him outright?

Nobody gets fired for briefly touching a woman’s knee. Langella is a fairly big name, and given he’s older than the norm for this part, the production obviously wanted to cast him. You fire somebody under contract for nothing, you get sued. This was something or he’d not have gotten fired.

Hopefully your tombstone won’t read “he got regularly outraged on behalf of sexual harassers”

Just a Phase? The fuck kind of question is that? Are we still in the White, Male phase of Hollywood? 

Here I thought the “being accountable” part was going to be about him being held accountable for his hate crime where he was charged with attempted murder of a Vietnamese man!

Very excited that Johnson continues to get work after all the shit that’s been piled on him. Maybe my favorite working director.

That’s the bigger deal. It’s almost not even about him any more, it’s about the fact that the Grammys voters defiantly declared that it sure as FUCK wasn’t gonna be about his victims.

And I know half of America’s response to stating it as such is “And?”. Which just takes us back to the “I don’t how to explain that you…

Why would it? This isn’t a review, it’s a meditation on a story.

I’ve been saying for forever that one set in the Phillipines around 1942 would be top notch.  Play as the hukbalahap resistance, slap “I Will Return” stickers on the bumpers of Japanese trucks, get a machete and some escrima sticks.  The game would take place over that period of Japanese occupation between 42 and 45. …

Counterpoint: Adrien Brody

You really need help thinking of other names besides those three? Not to mention Allen’s still a member of the Academy, and Polanski didn’t get thrown out until 2018.

And yet it *still* hasn’t opened in a theater in the city where I live, population ~150,000, with a metro area ~500,000. Man, I really want to see this movie on a big screen.

You find Short Round more annoying than Willie Scott or Mutt?

This is so stupid. Are they going to ban all the predators and abusers still in the Academy next?

I truly think the Goonies is one of the eighties movies that it really makes sense to make a nostalgia sequel for. A bunch of dudes had the craziest shit ever happen to them as kids, they discovered a pirate treasure, and probably became media sensations. You could deconstruct the media digestion cycle of child stars…
