So will this earn him that dreaded “Difficult To Work With” label that results in your acting career going down the shitter, or at least leaving you glad to get roles in Lifetime movies? Or does that rule only apply to female performers who refuse to do nude sex scenes or touch the director’s pee-pee, not dudebros who…

I think so too. Although,part of it is also that Abnousse Shalmani, one of the signatories, “has previously compared feminism to Stalinism.” So you know, part of it is also that some of these people are assholes.

In which France, having spent decades tut-tutting Americans for being sexual Puritans, experiences the cognitive dissonance that comes with being confronted by the fact that its culture of “seduction” almost always is accompanied by hefty doses of power imbalances.

I wonder if part of this is about women who would rather believe they were seduced than assaulted. It’s often easier to act like you were a willing participant than accept the reality. And if you are a woman of a certain age, it had to be damn near impossible to escape predators.

Campaign donation limits = the solution to rich idiots having WAY too much power and influence.

Since you stopped after the first sentence, I’ll just point out that the show included a Woody Allen quote because it’s an episode about a dad molesting a daughter, not because the people writing the show think Woody Allen is great.

His female characters are always so rich and large and honest in terms of how they’re feeling and he just knows how to write dialogue for them to communicate all that.

The court found Dylan Farrow’s claim to be credible and Allen not to be. The court also found that Allen had attempted to influence testimony. He lost four court cases over this, including two appeals. Other adults (non family members) corroborated Dylan’s account at the time. This is not a “he said, she said” but…

He’s famous for not giving actors any direction. I would argue that his best and most compelling female characters are created entirely by the actor and have nothing to do with his writing or direction. I remember from studying Annie Hall in film school that Allen based the character on Keaton’s own personality and…

Name one. Name one “deep” or “real” woman that overrated assface has written. Hasn’t been done. He doesn’t like women ergo the women he writes will never be deep or real. They are all just two-dimensional half-baked ideas and harridans. None of them has a personality or humanity of her own. Gawd, I’m so sick of that…

No. Other members of the family supported what Dylan Farrow said. It’s Allen versus several other people.

I mean, hey, I love dogs so much that I won’t put my desire to give them love-squeezings and bare-foot belly rubs above their need for comfort and safety.

Dog lover etiquette 101: Always approach the owner first and explicitly ask for their permission to interact with the dog. Not only is it good manners (I enjoy the company of animals more than people but I think its incredibly rude to ignore someone just so you can love up on THEIR dog), but its a simple way of…

This is great. A follow-up suggestion would be blocking breeder-fresh Christmas puppy photos. If you buy a dog from a breeder, you’re an enemy of dogs, and of me.

So we can’t get women/poc behind the camera, but a creep can no show his movies repeatly and still keeps getting projects...

Look, some women can be the most ardent supporters of an oppressive patriarchal system. Pam has survived in spite of/by virtue of her physical attributes all her life and can’t see the forest for the trees.

Oh how DROLL!

I’m rooting for these crazy kids to work it out and find an amicable resolution - like him giving her all his money after a judge slaps him with a restraining order and sentences him to chemical castration.

I’m glad they called an audible and wrote her in. Here’s how I feel: there’s no way to do the Karen Page of the comics in any fashion that isn’t terrible and demoralizing re: an actress and a character we’ve come to care a lot about. Why not just let the comics backstory go entirely in the service of giving a…
