The sole exception: Leigh Alexander, who co-write The Empire Strikes Back.

Well seeing as how 4 of the Star Wars movies were directed by the SAME white man and it was his creation.... this article’s premise is so irrelevant as to pass right by being irritating right to being laughable.

That’s Leigh BRACKETT, you dopes.

Last Jedi is so lousy that the prequels are now retroactive masterpieces.

I can only assume that Peter Dinklage will be replaced by Nolan North in the third quarter. 

Shhh. Don’t bring that up. This circlejerk only accepts arguments against Allen.

So . . . if you genuinely believe that your sweet and blameless costar was smeared with false accusations, maybe don’t dredge them up again twenty-five years later during a media frenzy about unaddressed sexual misconduct allegations?

It’s probably because the incidents which led to the lawsuits were very specific to the production of I’m Still Here, which by all accounts seemed like an excuse for Affleck and Joaquin Phoenix to do a bunch of drugs, fuck hookers, and generally act like pigs, all under the guise of “performance art.”

Also, these guys.

He said it’s a bit of a witch hunt?!? GET HIM!!!

The OP seems preoccupied with all the horrible men (i.e. four people, two of them non-regulars, one of the regulars nothing worse than a rumoured conservative) on this show, as if that is what defines it; not its strong female lead.

The entire #MeToo movement is continuing to tear itself apart as they realize that literally everyone has had some shitty sexual encounters at some point. What started as a much needed calling out of dedicated sexual predators is devolving into “Any time anyone was ever pushy on a consensual date”, and it’s basically…

Yeah, such an awful show, focusing on a civically-engaged female lead character involved in local politics. What a terrible premise for a show, right?

Two problems with this story (or really one combined major problem):

My god... he didn’t force himself on her. That line seriously needs to be change. He didn’t rape her, and didn’t do anything like that. He was pushy, and sexually assertive/aggressive. That is not rape. She could have left. He is guilty of being horny and pushy about it too early. Instead of leaving she literally…

Why didn’t she simply walk out? Why did she blow him? This is clearly a consensual sexual encounter she later regretted. “I didn’t really want to do it, but I did anyway” is not sexual misconduct.

The removal of the protective sheath and coerced oral sex sound bad. Everything else sounds like “I agreed to this stupid thing that I realized after the fact was really stupid and humiliating, also was just clearly a feeder system for Franco to find women to have sex with.”

Franco wanted his date to blow him, ‘nudged’ her head (her words, not pushed, shoved, forced.....), and she did it voluntarily because ‘she didn’t want him to hate me.’

The amount of people here saying “I haven’t seen the movie yet, but here’s what I think about it” is embarrassing.

One thing I found when watching the film that conflicts somewhat with the criticisms is I didn’t think I was really supposed to be rooting for anyone. Most everyone is either a seething mass of hate or is willing take the easy way out and ignore the hate. It felt pretty apt for the world at the moment (from the…
