Evans forever! And yes, this Harron Walker is clearly a planted Pine shill.

Wow. Once again, the film had done half the festival circuit and still no distributor would touch it. Oprah happened to see it and got Tyler to talk to his distributor. Lionsgate didn’t believe in the film but agreed to keep Tyler happy but conditioned a wide release on Oprah throwing her weight behind it. Oprah did…

OMG. Now I see why you are so confused. Listen, Precious was NOT an Oprah vanity project. It’s entire 10 million budget came from a white Denver couple. This was a huge deal, there were profile pieces about those them and how they stumbled on gold.

I dislike Lee too and reverse racism is obviously not a thing but he was referencing her reported behavior on a different film set. Last year she went after Will Packer, her producer in Almost Christmas. He responded by leaking an email detailing how awful she was to work with. One of the issues was that she demanded…

I don’t think her demands were at all reasonable but even if we accepted that they were, her subsequent behaviour is the furthest thing from reasonable. This has nothing to do with respectability politics. Name a single white male actor who has a podcast to attack former employers. And make sure that this white male…

I’m seeing alot of comments that seem unaware that Monique trashes everybody she works with.

I really don’t see the current system as that flawed. Actors aren’t just cast on the basis of talent. Their ability to bring an audience is a big part of it. Marketing the film is part of their job description and their pay covers this aspect of the job.

As she tells it on her endless rants on her podcast, this drama began when she declined to go to Cannes to promote both the film and her awards prospects. She told them “she wanted to spend time with her family” but that she could be convinced to change her mind with a cash offer. The studio rightly balked at that…

Somebody's getting fired. Hey. Hey.

You lost me when you typed this nonsense about Francos accusers ....”my word how quickly they had their beautiful photos out there - I assume they were waiting by the phone for the work they thought they’d get by sleeping with him or by taking the admittedly shitty roles he and everyone else in Hollywood offers”.

Lol. It’s really super important that complete strangers believe you are celebrity connected isn’t it? Yeah, that’s the dead giveaway that you aren’t.

How direct can this knowledge be when the only person speaking about it has just issued a statement directly contradicting you.

I detest Justin. He’s a shameless culture vulture, he screwed Janet, he refuses to acknowledge this fact, he feuded with Prince and then desecrated his dying wishes for some PR points. He is the worst. Except for that Britney thing.

Well congrats but wow. Do people just not care about catching STDs??? How do you raw dog a stranger? 

Same reason men date Taylor Swift? It’s fun in the moment and theres thrill in a little danger. Plus no matter her negatively she airs you out, you still get free attention.

“Auditioning” suggests the women were active participants. That they knowingly presented themselves to be evaluated for the gf position. That they went in to showcase their best gf traits. That they were eager to be picked.

Its of course her right to speak of her own experience but its disingenuous of her to claim that her voice won’t villainise his accuser. She knows damn well that public opinion will flip on his accuser just on account of this character reference. She could at least acknowledge that much.

Scarlet was actually cast in MI 3 as were a number of other actors before there was a rewrite that triggered a mass recasting. With these things, the recasting is more a matter of actors being unavailable for the new schedule than anything.

I’m curious why the word “auditioning” is being used at all. It completely strips the women of any agency and turns their intention to mercenary. I agree with Scarlet, this story is framed by misogynists. I think since MeToo, she is a lot less passive about this crap.

Leave Russell alone. He is only just finally being his true self after decades of peddling his zen woke daddy bs. Now that he has 15 (FIFTEEN!) women publicly telling on him, he can finally drop the mask and stand behind his kind; the rapists and harassers
