Nation Perplexed as Long-Standing Comedy Tradition Known for Being Mean Spirited Ends Up Being Mean Spirited

Hey, now, don’t leave kickers out of it.

George Miller’s entire career laid out honestly sounds like a joke. The man just seems to do whatever the hell he feels like in the moment with zero thought of whether he’s ever done anything like it before, even in comparison to other famous genre-fluid directors like Howard Hawks and George Cukor. And his still…

Spacey is obviously kind of a dick even if he has somehow avoided the criminal stuff. But the ick factor kind of kills his chances. Nobody wants to think about that when he pops up on screen...and no one is going to risk their money investing in a film with that nasty baggage.

I still love his previous work like I still adore watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but that doesn’t mean I will support any future work he does. Studios are free to cast him in whatever the want, I am free to never support any movie or show he’s a part of.

I think Neeson got a bad rap with that particular incident, although I can’t speak to him vouching for Spacey.

Call me naïve, but I’m always stunned when the wise course of action in a given situation is to simply shut the fuck up and people choose not to. Like, absolutely no one was out here saying “gee, I wonder what Sharon Stone thinks about Kevin Spacey” and yet she went out of her way to broadcast her idiot thoughts about…

Spacey tended to specialize in playing sleezy characters, or at least morally ambiguous ones. He’d be difficult to cast in the same kind of thing now that his personal reputation is tarnished. 

Celebrities are royalty. They are uber-people and should be afforded the benefits such status demands.  Poor little raped boys can get over it.  Pussies. 

I'm stunned by how I think she'd be acting different if the victims were woman not gay men. Which is wild but that's what this seems like.. 

Yah it reads like she's calling the victims liars. Imagine if they were women instead of gay men she would not be publicly calling them liars. That is so.... dumb of her? I don't know. 

Yeah, come on Liam Neeson - have you SEEN how many actors there are?! We’ve got PLENTY without Spacey.

Oh this is disappointing. I can understand a "leave him alone already" vibe after that doc considering he hasn't been found guilty but calling for a return to Hollywood? And whatever Sharon Stone meant? Ughhh

Given the amount of gross behavior that Stone has definitely been the target of by powerful Hollywood figures, especially early in her career, it’s disappointing to see her on this list, especially with what appears to be a victim-blaming take.

As seems to be the case with this article, he was at least slightly measured in his response re: Rowling. But he falls prey to the bad faith both-sidesism that allowing trans folks to “live full, accepted lives, according to their terms, in society” is somehow at odds with women having “all the rights and dignities…

At the very least, at a festival like that the actors/filmmakers are actually there to receive the applause.

Well, he’s been super supportive of JK Rowling this whole time. This is really just a lateral move.

He’s Australian. We have pretty good bullshit-o-meters for this sort of thing.

I can’t remember a time in my life before the clapping!!! My hands hurt! Please let us stop! 

Not only that it is a movie that can be seen with your eye, and heard with you ears.  Even felt with your butt if you are in one of those IMAX theaters with booming speakers.  Sadly it can not be tasted or smelt
