Can we please stop saying that men like Elliot Rodger “love” women? They love women like I love cheeseburgers. I think the correct word is WANT.

Thank you, Stassa! This is brilliant and timely! SO SO SO helpful to have terms for all the fucking gaslighting we receive.

Good for you. I find the insistence that victims of every kind of crime forgive “for themselves,” and usually asap, such bullshit. It is one more burden to put on people who don’t need any more. This idea that the only options are forgiveness or being eaten up inside thinking about the person who wronged you for the…

I have been pretty vocal on here that I find somethings absolutely unforgivable, and will never forgive my rapist. And it makes a lot of people VERY uncomfortable.

As for me, I’ve started asking, “How come you want these victims to ‘get over it,’ yet if anyone suggested the same about 9/11, you’d blow a gasket?” I’ve never gotten a response.

Another element of himpathy is the push for forgiveness and healing — sometimes literal days after the action. But when people say “forgiveness,” what they really mean it moving on, being over the transgression, and never mentioning the incident again. We’ve become so focused on that, that we don’t realize that…

Stellar interview, and I fully intend to read this book. It speaks to a lot of experiences in my own life.

Really... is that the message we’re gonna send out to our young girls... that teenage pregnancy is something “cool” and “exciting”to aspire to.

The withheld footage and the active abuse in the name of “stunt double” (that he has done to other women on other sets) is the damning shit, and pretty much prove that what she’s saying is correct.

You really don’t see the difference between an actor who *wants* to do his own stunts getting injured doing said stunts and an actor getting hurt after being pressured into doing stunts that she’s repeatedly said she thought were unsafe and did not want to do? I can’t tell if you’re stupid or being willfully obtuse.

Go back to your bridge, troll.

That. movie. fucking. sucked. Ridiculous gore (as usual), a couple of bright spots (Christolphe Waltz and Diane Kruger). Just because you make something extraordinarily violent, as if that itself is enjoyable or laudable or subversive in any way, with a *tiny* undercurrent of humor, but mostly with none whatsoever,…

Did you even read the article? She said she felt the car wasn’t safe, and that QT’s assurance it was a straight road was completely wrong (as you can tell from the video). The bottom line is, if your actor doesn’t feel safe doing a stunt, even one as simple as driving, then its the director responsibility to find a…

Yes, any director of any gender who actively risks the life of their talent and crew should never work in the movie business again. Absolutely. I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here.

40 mph in an unsafe, modified car on a sandy, twisting road after the actress had repeatedly voiced her concerns over the safety of the stunt. Uma Thurman was within her rights to demand a stunt person to fill in for her, and yes it is an abuse of power to force her to get into a situation that she (correctly as it…

Dr. Lawyer said “sexual abuse OR abuse of power.” It definitely was an abuse of power. If your boss responds to doubts or hesitation to doing something dangerous on the job with fury, they are abusing their power. It should “bring him down” (i.e., take him out of that position of power) if that’s a good way to prevent…

If whether or not you like an artist’s work has anything at all to wanting to see him brough down for sexual harassment or abuse of power, you are MISSING THE POINT.

I always knew Tarantino was an asshole, but... not quite at this level. His behavior and treatment of Uma (along with Weinstein’s, obviously) is disgusting. There should be repercussions for Quentin’s absurd negligence.

So when is Tarantino going down?
