YESSS, this is the thing: it was about them learning to let go of their anger. And that’s all you need to understand to see that the moral criticism is absurd. It was a movie about ending a polarization cycle, and seeing the errors of one’s ways, and that’s why some people hate it, ‘cause it doesn’t live up to the…

“the movie treats this character’s bigotry and violent actions as minor quirks that don’t need to be corrected”... I get that some people did not like the movie, that’s fine, but what you stated is simply wrong. The movie actually goes out and sends that character a letter, explaining to him exactly why he needs to…
YESSSS. And it seems like Hal already knows this, right? I’t the only reason for him to treat Chic so badly IMO.
... so, german?
yeah... you would be having a conversation only with yourself though... as I did not say in any part that the story wasn’t “real”.
And I’m telling you, as a foreigner, we never felt that was, as you said, “a really signature part of his foreign policy”. A part of, yeah, as it has always been with your country and bombs. A signature parte of his government...? Not to us. On the contraire, he was, while not being perfect, the president that the…
Which one is President Drone Strikes, again? Not being from the States, and putting technology aside, this description could correspond to ANY of your current and past presidents. Ya know... USA likes to strikes things all the time! Since when did you grew a moral conscience about it? You are about to start WW3 with…
Yeah, but that’s so old news. It’s the opposite now: every little site wants to have the next celebrity accusation in their pages, website, etc. I’m a journalist: in this industry, such news goes into an unknown site when the accuser has shopped the story in bigger sites without any success, or when they have a…
I don´t know what changed in the last days, cause I made this point for Franco last week and felt like the only person with this mindset. Maybe the Aziz Ansari’s case made other people more aware that you can’t just go into the “burn them to the ground” mode with all the cases. It’s gonna take some adjusting, between…
Thanks for the info, did not know about Sheedy till now, and she mentioned Christian Slater too! I read she has deleted the tweets, don’t know what that could mean, but yeah, sounds like a storm is forming. I have my matches ready, I just haven’t used them yet.
The plastic protection thing is f-weird, can’t be a one time thing, someone who does that should have a lot of other stories around (and maybe we wont have to wait too long to hear those). That’s what I’m saying: is a completely disgusting thing, but I’m still not in the “hope he burns in hell” camp yet, till I hear…
“He pressured her to continue”, this is everything: If I’m going to move to the “burn him to the ground stage”, I need to know what did that involve. We know what that involved in the case of Weinstein, right? We are using “pressure” and “force” without any specific description of what was that, except for the head…
The accusation is that he removed the plastic protection, while simulating oral sex. If it was a simulation, did he actually touch her? If he actually did cunnilingus to her, then this is not “misconduct” as is now being label: it´s sexual abuse and has grounds to criminal charges, with witnesses and everything, and…
Neither of us was there, so neither of us can say that she was “visibly” anything. But, yeah, sadly, I do think the head push is a somewhat regular practice done by straight males, especially when they are immature (and Franco never has acted as anything else). Maybe this is another bias on me, because I’m gay and men…
- I imagine that to be a somewhat a normal case of “trying to get your first bj with the new gf”. Im gay though, so it has been a lot less tension about that issue for me. Why is it an issue though? So, he wanted to evolve the sexual stage in their relationship, she didn’t, but does not say that he forced her to do…
Yeah, that’s the only one of these stories that feels more agressive. Yet, still don’t see the same kind of menace that you can see in other cases: it still happened in a room full of people, while on a class about Sex Scenes. There was no rape, no harrassment after this. I’m just really focusing my hate on the…
Yeah, I could expect somebody else to rise above, but this is the kind of thing I would expect James Franco to do. Nevertheless, If you don´t like the standards of any class you attend, you quit that class, review it poorly at the end of the semester or during it, like you would do in any case that the teachings feels…
IDK. Full disclousure about my bias: I tend to like him just because of his friendship and projects with Seth Rogen. And, yeah, I liked 127 hours also. Anyways... As a women, I just don’t feel the same “menace alert” with this case as I do with Weinstein and Spacey. This accussations don´t show him as predatory nor…
“It’s the filmmaker’s worst impulses manifested in a single stereotypical figure: someone to be laughed at, then pitied”... you... you laughed at Ngoc Lan? you felt like that was the desired effect? I saw this last night and I can’t see how you could think this. I had the opposite reaction to the character: Ngoc Lan…
