Hitchcock bullied his actors. Kubrick bullied his actors. Kurosawa bullied his actors. Cameron bullied his actors. Woody Allen, by contrast, has never bullied his actors, but we don’t like his work now for other reasons.

Advise me if this comment is offensive and in your opinion wrong, but aren’t many (non-porn) films about sex and don’t many (non-porn) films trade on their actors’ sex appeal? And more importantly, don’t those actors mostly know what they’re signing-up to in terms of trading on their sex appeal (especially those…

I understand completely what you are saying. On the other hand, we are not talking about the so-called “rush to judgment” that befalls the latest celebrity accused of sexual misconduct. Salling had his “innocent until proven guilty” moment, and point in fact, he was proven guilty. Guilty of one of the most heinous…

It’s not that uncommon for victims of abuse to later “choose” an ostensibly consensual relationship with their abusers. It can be a way of convincing oneself that you were never victimized, that you were onboard the whole time. Asia Argento talked about this a little in the first New Yorker story about Weinstein.

Scott Baio is a self-righteous piece of shit. Now I’m not high on the whole #Time’s Up/#MeToo thing that’s happening but the fact that Baio molested her when she’s a minor is just wrong. This is someone who a year ago said awful things about a co-star who had died all because she had drug issues that she eventually…

He has a grotesque ego and a desperate narcissistic need to prove that he’s superior to normal human beings.

You know - if the president doesn’t get fired for SAYING it, it does seem slightly unfair that anyone gets fired for listening to it.

I’d say he’s more lacking knowledge in the concept of “ultimate.” Or maybe we’re both right and it’s just all words in general he struggles with. As well as being self-aware.

Charlotte’s intimidation tactics with Pierce (Cain? Have we decided how to refer to him?) were my favorite part of the episode. When she pours the coffee she made for him (“Cream? Sugar?”) in the trashcan and then hands him back the empty mug, I cackled.

Sexism exists.

Sure ain’t. We’re talking about Mo’Nique’s circumstances. No one else. But when it comes to actually entertaining people or the demand for her work (which is what this discussion is about), Mo’Nique isn’t on equal ground, or anywhere near it, of the three people she used as her examples.

Less’Nique.

Begging the question.

The Guggenheim won’t fucking pay me $24,000,000 for my painting of a happy dog even though they spent 10x that on a Van Gogh!

if people want to go for more money - have at it. But when you don’t get it, don’t lazily claim it’s because of both race and gender bias... while using examples that debunk your exact claim. She’s trying to publicly shame Netflix into giving her money for unsupported reasons, not because she’s worth it or has earned…

Mo’nique is a legend? Really? Schumer was overpaid as is, but she at least has solid name recognition and a fair number of big, recent projects. The idea that Mo’nique should get anywhere near what Chappelle got is ridiculous. Also, color bias? Considering the fortunes Netflix paid for Chappelle and Rock, I’m not sure…

overall things are getting pretty muddy.

What about Tilda Swinton? Emma Stone?

Should we maybe make a list of the #MeToo allegations that are legitimate and those which are problematic? I vote Franco falls into the latter category. Sorry everyone who was so excited for someone’s career to be over.

Since when has “more than a decade ago” mattered with any of the rest of this?
