It’s not being covered extensively by (from what I can see) any journalist who currently attends and has a close relationship with the business and the Fest. Their processing of these events as they are unfolding is coming second to movie reviews, social bonding and fun times at the Alamo Drafthouse in full public…

I didn’t say that at all and I don’t think that, no. I do think she and any number of other Alamo-friendly journalists could have spent the last few days a little less publicly gushing re: the FF fun and parties and a little more attentive to its swiftly-unfolding sex scandal meltdown. Like, what is it going to take…

Try it on someone else, I’m the wrong queen.

And I’m saying that a lot of this coverage - not just from you, but from a lot of people - feels less like reporting from the ground and more like grudgingly discussing it inbetween the awesome movies. The longer you’re there and don’t confront them on this stuff directly vs. just going on with the show, the more you…

Katie, putting aside the tone-deafness of showing another porno or having a dude terrorize festgoers for a bit during the year where Fantastic Fest is under siege by sexual harassment scandals, there is a much bigger issue here. A big part of it for me is that you and a lot of other journalists attending seem to be in…

They know more than we do, and casual users like myself (I gave up on AICN maybe in ‘12 or ‘13) knew Harry was filth years ago.

Harry being a creep is far from a secret.

Tim League still needs to resign, and every overly invested fan/critic who’s having too much fun at Fantastic Fest and whining that we don’t understand the “important conversations” you’re having inbetween the pillow fights and cool screenings needs a reality check.

The Orville already did that on its own.

Finally a good use for Kinja: Starving these Community “newswires” out and salting the earth

Fans overidentified with Barb and expected a show shot a year prior to cater to ‘em.

No it wasn’t.

Nobody mentioned socialism but you, bright boy. Nobody cares.

If you want to stick up for an old creep and Nazis just do it, homey. Don’t lick the tip. Go all the way. No one likes a fence-sitter. Prove to everyone just how Rational you are being about the Nazis and sexual harassers.

See, champ, your speeches thus far are little more than an ninth grader’s creative writing essay after Baby’s First Blockbuster Night with Fight Club or Trainspotting. Or maybe just Cliff’s Notes of Catcher in the Rye. So you can understand everyone’s genuine confusion.

He was kept on staff under the table with basically no rest period whatsoever, and the leadership told other women to please not go public with their stories about him.

Yeah, I don’t want him to work again at the place where he harassed women. Sorry. That’s called common sense.

So you just saw Fight Club a bunch of times, that’s cool. What does any of your rant have to do with James Woods creeping on underage girls

What does your Palahniuk fanfic have to do with this guy picking up underage chicks

Again, why is suicide his only option vs. “not being rehired after sexually harassing people”?
