There are men (and sadly, too many women) who will scoff at the “unwanted hugs” part of this. “Oh it was just HUGS? Jeez, you would think he tried to rape someone.” But this is all part of a hostile work environment that takes that much more energy to navigate day in and day out. The fact that women had to come up…

Lasseter will return to his true calling: Showing up onscreen everytime someone tries to watch a Hayao Miyazaki film and spending two minutes explaining to us why it’s good before we’re allowed to see it.

This guy’s career should have ended there. It’s a bummer to watch Speed Racer knowing that this dude and Matthew Fox are pieces of shit, even knowing that the Wachowskis and most of the rest of the cast are pretty moral people who have been active in causes. 

He looks like a knockoff Johnny Galecki bred with a shoe. I know it’s wrong in so many ways, but my first thought was “he’s neither good looking nor charming enough to get a second chance.”

Tarantino probably met him on a “guys who like to choke women” board. “Oh, you act too?”

Me too. Also let it be said that as brave and outspoken as Jameela Jamil is about this and other causes, she also is really, really good as Tahani on The Good Place. She is so funny, but the character is often overbearing and exasperating, but in a way that you understand comes from her insecurities.

We were so young back then...

He probably should still be in jail

To be fair to Hirsch, he did this back in 2015, when we didn’t know it was wrong to choke a woman out at a party and never apologize for it. Is it fair to judge historical figures by present-day standards?

I stand with Jameela. And given our relative heights, I probably make a perfect elbow rest.

He really should have been blacklisted entirely for that assault.

Of all the people felled by revelations of impropriety, Lasseter is a strong candidate for the one I found the must upsetting, since his work was a huge part of my childhood (and, really, my whole cinephile life, since it’s not like I ever stopped watching and loving his movies).

So him making a sub-par children’s movie earns him your ire, but him sexually harassing his female co-workers doesn’t?

You guessed it. Frank Stallone.

Or like Melania Trump telling bullied schoolchildren to “be best.”

This is definitely true. Ang Lee was probably trying to translate the word shuai, which can be a state-of-mind thing rather than mere appearance.

He’s very handsome.

He was brilliant in Tropic Thunder. In a movie with an over abundance of crazy characters he shone like a diamond. A repellent, gag inducing diamond, but still.

Well, with Ang Lee in particular, we could maybe put it down to a language barrier. But I can see him wanting to say “Try it more like someone who thinks he’s handsome, or more like the common conception of how suave handsome guys act,” and not actually trying to say, “Be more handsome!!”

That’s like asking Tom Cruise to “act taller.”
