What I think of is Gone Girl. In one scene Ben Affleck’s character is supposed to wear a Yankees cap. Affleck doesn’t like the Yankees. He refused. Production shut down for four days while the director got on the phone with Affleck’s lawyers and agents and whatnot trying to get an actor to wear a hat. And that…

Ha! That’s what Laurence Olivier suggested to Dustin Hoffman,” My dear boy, why don’t you just try acting?”.

Adding: She tells people what happened for years, no one pays attention. He speaks up and everyone finally listens.

There is a strange obsession from some film directors to get “real” emotions from their actors on set. Ridley Scott did it with the chestburster scene in Alien, Kubrick with Shelley Duvall on the set of The Shining, and clearly Bertolucci did it with this film. Now those first two examples are far less egregious than…

Definitely not the same thing, but I always roll my eyes when actors go to extreme lengths to “get real.” Oh excuse me. Method acting. Anne Hathaway starving herself for Les Mis. Dustin Hoffman denying himself sleep in Marathon Man. Jared Leto being an asshole in general on movie sets.

And no one cared for the 44 years in between? None of the known facts about what happened have changed. She wasn’t hush-hush about it...she literally said she felt raped by Marlon Brando.

That’s the part that enrages and baffles me the most (aside from everything else, I honestly can’t decide). You literally hire actors to pretend to feel emotion. There is no reason to force them to actually feel it. There is no fucking reason to make a woman really feel like she’s going to get raped. Talk to her like…

How much more authentic John Snow getting stabbed would have been if he had really been stabbed!

He’s actually been saying it for a long time as well. It makes you wonder what was going on with these past interviewers. No follow up to statements like that? Really?

If she objects in the moment, she’s called unprofessional and is still pressured into doing it.

I mean, I think the world is also different in 2016 than it was in 1972 for women coming forward with these kinds of stories. (Still not great, but better, generally speaking.) I don’t think it’s simply an issue of men corroborating a woman’s story and then all of a sudden everyone cares, though that’s certainly part…

I didn’t want Maria to act her humiliation, her rage. I wanted Maria to feel, not to act, the rage and humiliation.

I feel the same way, now that the asshole director finally admits what she has been saying all along, we finally believe her? Jesus. I mean, I’m not surprised, but still.

It’s strange to me that this is news now. I mean I’m glad it’s being talked about. But she said this FOREVER. Now people believe it because they heard men verify it?

Have worked in a company selling equipment to government institutions in China (we make museum supplies). Can vouch for what a god damned headache and minefield it is. My boss took a year long class that was basically called “how to deal with China.” But at least the worst thing that can happen in that situation is…

She does deserve it, but I doubt she’ll take pleasure from watching Trump fuck everything up.

I’m a guy who watches ton of NHK World, and consumes a ton of Japanese culture in general and I’m frightened to think of the amount of fuckboy “ignorant American” shit he must have done meeting Shinzo Abe.

I think this is going to be Hillary forever now, no matter what happens.

I want to make confetti with that statement and dump it on the electoral college.

Hillary is screaming at a computer screen right now (or drinking strong bourbon, giving no fucks anymore).
