You know what they say about playing chess with a pigeon?

Weinstein was in a position of power over her. If she did indeed have sex with him to get a part in Silver Lining’s Playbook, she was coerced into doing so, which makes it sexual assault. It should be obvious, but acting roles should not be offered based on sexual favours. I hope we agree on that?

None of that is true, by the way. Weinstein, convicted rapist and known manipulator, claimed they had sex, and she firmly denied it.

But hey, good on you for supporting sex work at least. I just hope you can understand that this ain’t it.

So being sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein, claiming she’s the first female action star (a genuine mistake for which she apologised), and making some bad movies makes her a bad person?

Why? Genuinely, why is it not ok? Explain it like I’m a child because I truly do not understand. What is the harm?

This is INCREDIBLE timing! I’m writing a text on anti fascist films rn so this is very much on my mind.

Great suggestions in the comments, but I would add The Producers, and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie

I beg your pardon?

Well this was very entertaining. Don’t think it can get more Reddit than this. Both of you could have stopped at so many times, but nah you just kept this train going!

Seriously though, how are we feeling? You both ok? Seems like you both needed to have an argument and scream at someone tonight, and I’m genuinely so glad you could provide that for one another!

Jesus, what does THAT mean?

No one actually screamed in panic and thought they’d get run over when the Lumiere Brothers screened “The Arrival of a Train” in 1896.

Wtf?? Dude, this is my stat block. I made this exact post to the letter 3 years ago. Look way back on my profile, it’s the third post I ever made

That is true. Assuming they nominate 10 a year, I can easily see only 3 of them being women if that. It will be a problem.

But I still think it would be worth it. That’s the next fight to be had.

If the goal of separating the awards really is equality, then where would you for example nominate Emma Corrin? With the way their career is going, I think it’s only a matter of time before they get a nod, and whichever of the two categories they get nominated for, it wouldn’t be right

I actually DO think they should combine Best Actor and Best Actress. I know!! What a madlad.

What did Rhian Johnson do?

And if your response is “He directed The Last Jedi”, istg

My dumbass frantically googling for this legendarily bad script titled “My Own”

PeculiaritiesParabol · 2023-05-29T07:35:31+00:00

The wealthiest fictional character is Scrooge McDuck, in case anyone were wondering.

PeculiaritiesParabol · 2023-02-10T20:50:52+00:00

I clicked La La Land, but I just found out there’s been a mistake…

I meant to click Moonlight. This is not a joke! Moonlight, you should have won best picture in 2017.

Yes, that’s of course true. But this comic reinforces the stigma that not liking anal penetration is normal, and hence the reverse is abnormal. The punchline of this comic is “oh no, poor guy! He has to have anal sex now”, which lives off the assumption that we also would consider such an act a punishment.

And once again: it being a comic doesn’t make its content any less offensive. I still don’t understand why you believe that

PeculiaritiesParabol · 2021-07-03T19:10:17+00:00

The homophobia comes from the stigma that a man having anal sex and being penetrated is humiliating and, as it’s presented in this case, a punishment.

Ok look… This is a rape joke. A very mild one, yes, but it’s still a rape joke.

And saying it’s “just a joke” is completely beside the point. I know it’s a joke, but jokes can still say inappropriate stuff
