I dunno. She looks like Bjork being Bjork and he looks kind of creepy.

Fuck off. People die from eating disorders and just having “calories burned” on is enough to trigger someone trying to recover. It just needs to be optional.

Glad to see that they actually named Singer in it...was worried they’d dance around it!

Those two people burn different amounts of calories breathing.

A calorie is simply a certain # of joules.

Lars, I’ve seen more of your movies than I ever should have/wanted to - I’m going with Björk.  

““As far as I remember, we were victims,” Jensen said. “That woman was stronger than both Lars von Trier and me and our company together.”

Number of beers consumed would be far more practical.

Eh, I’d say “triggering” is the legitimate concern you’re looking to make fun of here. I’d also suggest stepping outside of your own narrative, and considering the notion that not every person feels comfortable being reminded of their weight or “exercise” at every turn. Some people just want to find the train station.

This. A 19-year-old, 140-lb woman and a 58-year-old, 220-lb man are going to burn VERY different amounts of calories on the same walk.

Wait a while, bring it back with the option of turning it off and the choice of food comparison or not. I’d make mine in number of beers consumed.

Calories burned varies by person so I don’t see how they could make this accurate without asking you at least your weight, it takes more force to move more weight (and only then it is approximate because people have different speeds, and different efficiencies). I eye my Fitbit with suspicion. It’s an okay guide but…

Yeah, this is honestly something they could have done really well, especially if their creepy data-crunching is sophisticated enough to do things like account for steepness and walking speed. It’s making it not optional that’s the problem, and also specifically making the cupcakes not optional. If they’d made it…

There have long been disturbing rumors of powerful men in the film industry sexually abusing boys and (nonconsenting) young men. Here’s a Daily Beast piece about it: https://www.thedailybeast.com/hollywoods-other-open-secret-besides-harvey-weinstein-preying-on-young-boys

Ok, everybody, we can all rest easy now, the man said he did not harass her. His buddy vouched for him. She MUST have been the difficult one.

There is a picture from Cannes of Von Trier grabbing Björk’s ass .. honestly these situations are so tricky since it can come across like the woman was ok with it after being pressured into submission only until they come out of it later and realise what happened. Same with people like Terry Richardson. I don’t…

OK

It seems incongruous.

Hey Lars;

Just me, or is this an odd choice for the lead photo on a sexual harassment post?
