Sir Peter Jackson?! Oh, New Zealand, wacky as always.
Sickening read
F Me sideways - that surely is a parody! - If not i'm sure there will be long queues forming outside his restaurant to shove his dough rolls where the sun doesn't shine.
I was reading about this yesterday and yeah it's disgusting. Bryant should clearly be in jail for a very very long time.
The film is Shadowrun, the Netflix version called Bright.
Apparently, the worst movie of the year.
Max Landis is the one being accused, to be more specific. Always gave of a vibe that dude.
Landis has confessed to be the abuser in relationshipss before, his reputation is well known.
Catherine Deneuve defends men's 'right to hit on' women.

Can someone explain the Franco thing to me? Apparently the New York Times cancelled some event with him due to some allegations.
That is the most legally protected comment ever. There is no admission of guilt in that. He says he understands how she feels how she didn't consent. That is different from saying "yes, she didn't consent and I had sex with her regardless".
He admits that she didn't consent...he had sex with her (where he strangled her) without her consent...he raped her.
It's not a subject worth going back and forth over, but I'm trying to find a recently written article about the issue, in light of recent happenings in Hollywood. If I find it I'll post it.

A bit of scandal over here after Liam neeson gave a wierd defense of Dustin Hoffman on an Irish chat show
Very bad read. Fan of Anzari's work on Master of None, he actually touched on these kind of topics in the show by showing the dating world from women's perspective. I can understand someone making aggressive moves after a date but there is no excuse for some of the stuff mentioned in there. I can also see this getting significant coverage in the press given the woman in question has given detailed account with some "evidence".
Not exactly related, but anyone here read about Wahlberg and Michelle Williams pay dispute? Apparently while Scott, Williams and other actors that was involved in All the Money in the World reshoot hardly got paid for the extra work, Wahlberg reps negotiate millions dollars worth of extra money for the reshoot. Now Williams had publicly stated that she'll do thr reshoots for free.
I am hardly a Mark Wahlberg fan, but if someone wants to get paid for extra work, then that is surely his own prerogative? Especially when he got nothing to do with the decision to reshoot the movie

I'm expecting more women to come forward; already rumblings on Twitter. Doesn't read like something he would only do once in his life.
I feel terrible for the poor girl. It's actually very common for women to face this type of behaviour from men. Two female friends of mine have told me they faced this kind of stuff whilst on dates when men didn't know when to stop and continued to kiss, grope etc even when they were told no.
Even more crazy is that most of Ansari's shows and stand up is based on dating and his dating life and how blokes should behave with women and how they should be nice and all that. That article is repulsive.
I am peronally sick of all this. All these allegations, where will it fkin stop?
The article is uncomfortable, but it is misleading. At no point did she say no. She gave him oral sex twice! He seems like a douchebag who just wanted to get in her pants as soon as possible, but I'd be more damning if she says, "no I do not want to have sex" and he continued.
Get your money.
For PR related reasons of course, Wahlberg donated the extra money to charity after the news came out.
Personally, I lose interest at the slightest hint of non-interest from a woman. My motto is, there's always Pornhub.
However there is some sense of infantilism here where the expectation is solely on men to read minds, and the idea of a woman saying no to unwanted contact is absurd.
Again, if a woman goes down on someone, unless she says no or indicates so otherwise, the implication is that more may happen. If that idea is crazy then just enact an affirmative consent law. The Dave Chappelle skit of signing a contract (imperfect, as consent can be withdrawn at any time) comes to mind.
Read the story again. It is abundantly clear that she was not interested.
