I have no idea how you managed to get that from what I wrote. *Shrug*

Yup. And I regret that my reaction was only to make eye contact with him until he walked away. I wish in the moment I could have found my voice to yell at him for being a fucking creep.

That’s news to me, but checking it out, you’re right. And guess what? Sam Taylor-Wood was wrong to do so. No equivocating required. Because I’m not an asshole. I’m not going to say “he should have expected it.” I’m not going to say “he should have put his foot down.” I’m not going to say “young actresses sleep with…

You clearly have never worked on a film set. I have and, yes, directors delegate, but if an actor explicitly tells him/her that there’s a safety issue, then its incumbent on them to act on it, or, at least, ask department heads if more can be done. There’s a difference between a whiny actor and one whose genuinely…

Unlike you, I don’t just go around attacking others or spouting bullshit to make myself seem like an ally.

Not a legit comparison. Cruise insists on doing all his own stunts. In fact he’s almost impossible to insure.

The fact that she could have said no and walked off the set doesn’t mean Tarantino isn’t irresponsible for pressuring her to do the stunt. Also, it seems a little naive to assume she would face zero professional consequences for displeasing a director of Tarantino’s stature. It’s true he’d be unlikely to fire a star…

Spoilers for 8 year old movie: It was really Shosanna’s story, but he let the Basterds get her victory. Hitler should not have died in gunfire before flames consumed him. He gave her victory to them.

Mira Nair is known for hiring someone to teach her crew yoga. Jill Solloway is known for encouraging people to cry and and feel fully open and safe. Lynn Shelton teaches her crew happy dances. Megan Griffiths has her crew do karaoke. Patty Jenkins hesitated sending her Wonder Woman out in the cold rain. Those are just…

I can’t tell if you’re stupid or being willfully obtuse.

Sigh.

The saddest part to me is that Thurman was obviously pressured out of utilizing her rights here. It was probably like— “don’t make this into a big deal, we’ll lose so much shooting time and it’ll be your fault.”

Why does she have to put her foot down? She’s already said she doesn’t want to do it, why she’s uncomfortable, and suggested an alternative arrangement. That should be enough. How many times is she expected to say no? Meanwhile, she’s aware that Tarantino can decide never to work with her again, tell stories that…

Thank god, the definitive opinion on Uma Therman’s acting ability has arrived. We can all ignore the fact that she just came forward about her multiple experiences with sexual assault, which absolutely isn’t the point of this article.

This is the second time Ethan Hawke has been mentioned as a periphery person in one of these stories and he’s come across as a stand up guy in both stories, making my long annoyance with him over the years seem ill placed.

I think she is saying it is similar in that it is a form of abuse as hinted by her last line:

Wow, I didn’t think about it but I didn’t read any account of a big apology of some sort to her, plus a decade and a half of withholding footage is a way of not owning his role in the accident? What bugs me most is you don’t see her at all, the shot is from behind looking forward, so get a damn stunt man with a wig!?

She’s a goddess walking the earth.

one of the toughest parts of the whole movement has been seeing powerful people laid low by guys like Weinstein. when Terry Crews said he’d been sexually harassed, it was like, even him? so absolutely no one is safe?

Watched her on the Late Show last night. It’s dumbfounding how powerful this person is.
