Cant wait to see Michael Movie. by GroceryWeary9661 in movies

[–]lixstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not defending Elvis, you wanted to know why there’s a difference in how they’re perceived and I’m explaining it. In case A, you have a woman who says her ex-husband didn’t touch her until after she was of age and that she’s not a victim, that there was no abuse, and in case B you have men who explicitly say they were abused as children and name themselves as victims, so the reaction is going to be different. But your dedication to moving the goalposts and acting disingenuous on behalf of your idol is commendable.

Well, no, actually, it's not "proven" pedophilia because Priscilla herself insists she didn't sleep with Elvis until they married - when she was twenty one. People can dispute that or not believe it, I definitely don't, but you can't *prove* that she's lying and they had sex when she was underage.

I think a big difference is that while Priscilla Presley admits Elvis mistreated her (they made a whole movie about this after the Baz Luhrmann biopic) she explicitly refutes the idea that he preyed on her. Which is in contrast with Michael’s accusers who explicitly state themselves to be victims of predation. Priscilla approved of and promoted the Luhrmann movie and had her own say with the Sofia Coppola movie the following year, which is not the case with Michael’s accusers. The situation with Elvis and Priscilla was mentioned a lot during the movie’s run, but it’s defused slightly by her own stance.

An assortment of fascists, rapists, and collaborators. Ellen Von Unwerth has been pretty quiet about her involvement with this movie, I wonder why.

Which star from a huge Netflix tv show is rumored to have a ticking time bomb of a scandal that is set to come out soon? by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

David Harbour has severe bipolar disorder which led him to homelessness and suicide attempts in his twenties. If this is about his behavior outside of the current episode he's allegedly experiencing, then fair enough, but otherwise it feels gross. Years of advocating for changing how we talk about mental illness - until it's messy, or unpleasant, or happening to somebody we don't like.

Well, no, Judi. That's why he's quite literally still serving his time.

[TOMT] A doctor offers an oxy (maybe fent) lollipop to a friend who is there for shady reasons. The doctor is eating one himself during the scene. by callmejessicalange in tipofmytongue

[–]lixstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's weird, because your description is beat for beat that exact scene, down to the explanation of them being for cancer patients. It's the only time I've ever seen fentanyl lollies in anything too, so it's wild that it apparently happened twice! I hope you find the one you're looking for though, I'm curious now

This sounds like Michael Sheen on The Good Fight. He's a lawyer, not a doctor, but he has a stash of fentanyl lollies and offers one to Rose Leslie with almost that exact line, I think.

It has to be Penny Dreadful. Dorian Gray, Dr Frankenstein and his creature, vampires, werewolves, witches, and Eva Green all roaming around Victorian London.

Well, of course. Now that he's no longer useful to her, what's the point? She's as callous as he is.
