Although it was amusing to see Daario’s expression at the end where he was basically like, “Oh, shit...she’s waaaaaaay out of my league.”

But The Accused is based on a true story. So... which tried and true tradition is she violating? Biopic? Rape-Revenge?

this tired literary and film device also reinforces simplistic thinking like this in “real life”. When involved in a lawsuit against an employer for sexually harassing me (amongst other types of harassment and discrimination), the defense was able to gain access to information that I had been sexually abused and…

Also, audiences can figure out when rape has taken place without graphic depictions. In the latest Mad Max it’s pretty obvious that there was non-consensual sex involved without having to see Immortan Joe’s (probably) freaky junk.

I read an awesome discussion of treatment of rape scenes. In Outlander (sorry, I love it) there were two attempted rapes back to back (!) and one was directed by a man, one a woman. In the male directed scene, there’s all kinds of T&A, with improbable positioning to get the most out of the forced nudity. It’s also all…

I spoke about this to my friends last year. There are way too many of us out here who have been sexually assaulted. We don’t need to constantly see it in movies and shows. We get it. We fucking get it.

No, Chastain is one of the few actresses who’s always been pretty whatev about stating her age. Girl don’t care. In Jolene she was 29/30 playing a teenager and was ridiculously good. I think if you’re actually looking for juicy roles and not playing on your youth, you don’t have to lie about your age. Also, for a…

I can see the logic in actresses doing this if they don’t hit their big break until they’re already in their 30s. They have to know that they’ll be dealing with a pretty short window to make their money. Didn’t Jessica Chastain try something similar a couple of years ago, only to be contradicted by a yearbook photo?

You had to figure something was up when Leonardo DiCaprio didn’t date her.

Whedons argument for why they hadn’t was that Fillion was busy on Castle and Baccarin on Homeland so maybe.

Prolly unemployed. I feel like that’s what “personal trainer” usually means, too.

I’m still pissed about all the actresses that gave a standing ovation at the Oscars to Polanski. His rape of a 13 year old has been public knowledge for decades.

It’s so disappointing to me that actresses that I otherwise respect/admire keep working with a man that molested his daughters - and it’s been public knowledge for decades. It feels like a kind of betrayal.

Selena Gomez seems like the Kidz Bop version of his ex-wife.

Poor Katy has like the worst taste in men.

Yes I do think.

What a skeevy piece of shit. This isn't going to help your public image as someone who thinks he's entitled to women's bodies pal. Now you just look like someone who thinks he's entitled to women's bodies AND medical records in the hope he can find something to use against his victim. That's slippery, reptilian, and…

At least, that’s what they’ll claim is their motivation.

This will ensure any woman who considers reporting a sexual assault remains in her terrified silence for all eternity.

This is so Canadian it may say its sorry, but it doesn’t actually mean it.
