Hollywood negotiating class, lesson the first: have a penis

“Oh, roleplaying. You mean where both adults have agreed beforehand to act out a fictional scenario with clearly defined limits?”

You mean, roleplaying? A thing adults do all the time.

You’re trying way too hard to connect something heavy-handed but otherwise completely innocuous to something actually horrifying because dipshits like you can’t handle a world where everything you think is a big deal isn’t a big deal. It’s pathetic.   

Cynical take: The whole mess has been great for Michelle Williams’ chances of getting an Oscar nomination. So WME (who represents both her and Wahlberg) did a good job!

It also demonstrates the positive power of public pressure.

Doesn’t it make more sense to give to charity than to another wealthy celebrity? I know we were all upset by the disparity but dude, she doesn’t actually need the money.

I’m sure he is. This won’t get him into the Good Place, but it still helps people out. So...yeah.

That scene and the way Schwarzenegger’s character interrogated and humiliated his wife is misogynist (although I believe it was taken wholesale from the French film True Lies was a remake of), but that is clearly not the same as advocating child sexual assault. It’s frankly offensive to conflate the two things.

Looooool. Well, it’s an inspired PR move, anyway.

The stuff in this article isn’t great by any stretch, and he certainly sounds like a sleaze, but I don’t think it should be Kevin Spacey/Louis CK career ending. Not all shitty behavior has to have the same repercussions. Especially if he is willing to improve himself.

Or you know people could take some responsibilty for there own actions, wouldn’t that be novel.

Idk, he certainly comes off a bit sleezy but it sounds like most of the women in all these cases had every opportunity to not do any of this stuff. There comes a certain point where you can’t just yell “power difference” every time you choose to do something that you end up regretting.

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.’

Why would you ever upload anything like that directly to the internet anyways? Even if it was a private channel or whatever, nothing is stopping other people with access from simply ripping the video and doing whatever they feel like with it? Definitely should have refused that request from the start. “Please upload…

Well, it wasn’t illegal. Maybe not the most wholesome thing but he was just trying to get laid.

“Franco’s Sex Scenes class”

Like, OMG you guys! When I signed up for a Sex Scenes class in which I’d participate in simulated orgies, no one told me I’d have to take my top off!!! Like, what the actual fuck??? Let’s make sure this creep never works again in his life because I never made it as an a-list celeb like I thought I would after taking…

I don’t feel comfortable with accusation by Twitter. At least if its in a newspaper it’s likely that the story has been vetted, and if it’s an official statement that a lawyer looked at it. But just being able to go and say something about someone without any proof? That doesn’t seem right to me. I’m not saying he…

Pretty much. To me this isn’t gender disparity so much as more proof that Mark Wahlberg is willing to be a mega-dick and take advantage of the producer’s desperation in order to get that paper.

I mean Casey Affleck got nominated and won the Oscar. And he had allegations in full form. So don’t trust the academy’s conscience.
