This is true, but Coppola is making pretty big demands about wanting a minimum $140 million for P&A and I can see where A24 and Neon aren’t in the market for that based on some of the discussion around the film. I think if he brought that figure down and was open to a more arthouse release, it probably would have been…

There are supposedly scenes that rely on someone in the audience interacting with Adam Driver on screen, which I do think raises genuine questions of how to scale that.

I don’t know that she made her name on looking young.

I mean it is possible that it’s also...bad.

This film is primarily doing one off screenings and festivals at this point. It’s not in a national release and the review mention it was a Film at Lincoln Center event. 

I’m very intrigued by the timing of this.

She was actually promoting no labor laws for children and having minors fall under “right to work” laws like adults. Two things can be bad.

Reading some of the court documents especially around some of the stuff that got thrown out, it does feel like she was being held to a different standard to other alleged “divas.”

She has probably been advised not to address the claims publicly until legal action is settled. Some of the claims were thrown out by a judge. She is appealing the others.

The part where she pointed out the use of Florida’s labor laws to overwork kids, but brushed it off as no big deal was the one questionable part of her statement, tbh. She’s also probably right. Even during the Schneider era there were likely people who truly didn’t know what was going on. 

The Santa Clauses involves him trying hard to make his daughter an actress so I assume that would also be the case on a Home Improvement reboot.

Cooperated with law enforcement to save himself and now complains about whistleblowers, snowflakes, convicts, and how liberals can’t be good without god. We don’t need to dislike him for that, but we should point out the hypocrisy of it.

I think it was the Screen Junkies/Honest Trailers crew that pointed out that scene in the Santa Clause where he refuses to crack under interrogation from the cops is surely his attempt to pretend he wasn’t a snitch and that thought sticks with me every time I see it.

He was A victim. He is not the victim Peck went to jail for. The identity of that victim has not been revealed. The John Doe from the 2004 case was not Bell according to the documentary and Bell’s own statements.

That’s not accurate - The victim that Peck went to jail for and Bell are not the same people.

Given David Milch’s health situation at the time, I wonder if HBO agreed to him being in it for the few scenes he was in rather than trying to explain why he needed to be removed to Milch. 

They paid an entire department to generate art for the film.

He dated a 16 year old when he was 20.

They do seem genuine in their remorse and while I understand Bell feeling they should have spoken out for the victim, Bell didn’t speak out for the victim at the time either. He didn’t support Peck, but he did not come forward. He also went on to exhibit his own sexual predator behavior and has not actually taken…

It doesn’t sound like the film didn’t have an art department. It sounds like the art department chose to use AI. I support greater AI regulation, but it sounds like the artists hired for the film used AI and then edited it after the fact. It’s not like the director just didn’t have an art department.
