also, the woman in the background of the video making a comment about women claiming rape can join his isle of misfits...

He cheated on Torrei for a reason and as long as Eniko wasn’t like Torrei and didn’t give him that reason, then she could tell herself Kevin wouldn’t cheat on her. Except the reason Kevin gave Eniko for his cheating on Torrei was bullshit. It’s always bullshit.

I don’t see why some women haven’t learned that the…

I agree with this. I also think there is a lot of hypocrisy in demanding Faraci be fired in the name of social justice for a crime he committed over a decade ago that had nothing to do with his role in the film community or his work with the Drafthouse, given that social justice is also supposed to be committed to…

Right, but what about all those others perfectly good writers who haven’t hurt anyone? Why should he get a job over them?

I had mixed feelings as well, but this post provided a strong argument regarding this particular scenario: http://www.pajiba.com/film_reviews/why-are-we-still-letting-devin-faraci-be-a-thing.php?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

This is what a significant portion of society wants. They want the offender put on a list, banned from neighbourhoods and most public spaces, and restricted from certain activities and livelihoods, in the name of protecting people from their inevitable re-offending, and also so we won’t have to be exposed to them or…

I think if Alamo placed conditions on his employment, and didn’t allow him to work with women or attend events, I would feel pretty OK about it.

Yes, I’m the same. I feel like I don’t know enough about the whole situation. But I also feel that you can’t keep someone unemployed for the rest of their life. What he’s done or alleged to have done is bad and he should make amends as bet he can. But I don’t think it means he should never write about movies again or…

I see your point - but making a big deal about him leaving the company, only to have him still there quietly, is just lying. They should have cut him loose and let him find his own way - not wreck their own credibility by covering for him (which they continued to do as more accusations surfaced).

This was said in the comments of a previous story about DF, but basically it’s not his having a job that’s objectionable—it’s that Alamo snuck him back into the company under the cover of darkness and only disclosed it like a month later. They had an opportunity to say “We’ve invited DF back after he sufficiently…

I can’t say 100% for sure, but I think Faraci coming back on might have been better received had it not been made clear that him stepping down in order to “get help” was more or less bullshit - to borrow a phrase I’ve seen used a few times in the last couple days, they just moved the priest to a new parish until they…

It is hard to say how to handle this, if this dude is a known creep who may reoffend, then you don’t want him around. Like you said, it is hazy and any outcome is going to piss off a lot of people. In some ways, there is a hypocrisy from people who think the “ban the box” is a good social justice reform, but then want…

Oh my God, yes. I remember the bitter litigation of what size Amy Schumer is, both from this site and others I read. It was so gross. First, when she was in such a rush to announce to the world that she’s not as fat as Melissa McCarthy. Second, when people pointedly questioned whether she was LYING about her weight or…

I agree, I think people who weren’t going to vote for her already it just validated their decision and the people that were going to vote for her didn’t waiver in their support.

They only have to be born before the Republicans will start to call them an inconvenient burden.

Agreed! Also, anecdotally, about ten years ago when I got involved in wildlife rehabilitation and learned about zoonoses (diseases transmitted between species), I realized that animals aren’t all that dirty, and I stopped being such a germaphobe around animal stuff. (I’m still a germaphobe around human stuff.) And,…

I’ve got bootleg files on a hard drive for personal use, but I’m hesitant to show it to my classes because of the illegality of the copies. I just keep hoping that they will come up with some sort of way to make them available to educators (like a library subscription streaming site that is password protected).

For real. Yesterday someone on MSNBC was talking to a man from the national guard, they were broadcasting the call. The reporter asked if the national guard guy had any important messages to convey- his answer was, “DON’T SHOOT. If people are in stores taking food and supplies, they are in survival mode, and we’re…

Go directly to hell, you absolute nightmare of a person.
