I really enjoyed Murder on the Orient Express. Daisy Ridley is a joy. The cinematography, editing, and blocking are all incredibly well composed.

LOL

That's what one of my question marks was about. The other 3 still stand.

????

lol I'll come get you if I need to, no problem at all

Start watching films. Read fiction. Dedicate some free time to activities that your active mind deserves. Don't let hockey make you sad! And come visit me this winter and skate the pond with me you jerk It's tough to call a coach bad so early in his tenure but what the everloving is he doing?

How long does the tean have to play like garbage until the lines get changed? Forever? Why did eich-pommers-girgs get broken up when they were destroying other teams? Why don't we try 3 balanced lines? Why don't we try anything else?

Eeeehehehehe. I think I needed this.

Nolan is a bad 4th liner, but he's at least an NHL body. Nic Des isn't even close to an NHLer. Not that it matters.

Maybe that injury last year did him in. That sucks :(

Nah I'm not watching. Did they miss a faceoff that resulted in missing a goal?

Good god.

Wait did he really say he didn't watch tape from last year on purpose? If so... that's like, a fireable offense.

It's really nice of her to let her husband be in a movie.

The podcast "You Must Remember This" by Karina Longworth is almost entirely about this. She calls it "The hidden or forgotten history of Hollywood's 20th century." It's amazing. And horribly, horribly depressing. Okay I'm going back to done with this conversation.

The list is massive and growing. I've been usuing those three names as a placeholder. Read up on this, it's staggering.

So many abusers are being outed because survivors of abuse (who are mostly women) finally feel safe to call out their abusers, whereas in the past the only thing speaking up got you was blacklisted. Control over the industry is finally slipping out of old white dudes, fingers. That is what's going to stop it. I'm not yelling, I've just said the same thing over and over and it doesn't feel like it's sinking in.

What's to stop it? PUBLIC OPINION. NPR literally just posted this story on twitter https://www.npr.org/2017/11/15/564393698/legal-landscape-shifts-as-more-sexual-harassment-allegations-surface-online?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=2043 And people did know. Gawker did a story on Louis CK back in 2012. People all over the industry knew about it and it was reported but it didn't reach big news status because most. people didn't care and Louis CK's fans dismissed it entirely. I don't know how to make it any more clear.

Hah. Louis CK remorseful? Yeah right. I don't know what point you're trying to make. These guys won't be working anymore. Weinstein desperately tried to get his board of directors to let him keep his job. Louis CK and Kevin Spacey want to be adored as geniuses. And I've already said: overwhelming public opinion forces these monsters out. Weinstein's board would've definitely forgiven him 5 years ago. But now they were too afraid of the backlash. Imagine how much it hurt the survivors of abuse to see their abusers continue on their successful, destructive paths. A society where abuse survivors are actually listened to is exactly how we build toward a future where this happens way less. And so much of this is not just "known" now. It's been known for a long time. People just care now.

Let me Liger back in here after my fake exit to the conversation.This is not same old same old. They erased Kevin Spacey entirely from All the Money in the World. Netflix instantly cancelled one of their biggest shows. The premiere to Louis CK's next movie got cancelled the day the story broke. Countless others are finally being rooted out, despite the fact that these accusations and stories have been around for years, sometimes even decades. The system was built to insulate and protect these men. Harvey Weinstein had freakin' spies following the women he abused. These things are finally coming to light because people CARE and they're pissed as hell about it. Hit them in the wallet? That's exactly what is happening right now. Yes, things are still bad and human monsters are still being allowed to do whatever they want. Mel Gibson just starred in a freakin' family friendly movie. That's all the more reason to care about this: There's still so much more to do. Saying "Ahhh things are all going to go back to normal." Speaks to a lack of familiarity with the stories breaking right now. It's also a self fulfilling prophecy. That's why I got so frustrated when you guys both shared that sentiment. We live in the Trump era, please don't accept this as normal. It also speaks to a total disconnect with the actual victims. If the most privileged of women are finally being heard, maybe someday we'll listen to all women when it comes to abuse. These things don't happen in a vacuum. Here's a heartbreaking story from Ellen Page: https://www.facebook.com/EllenPage/posts/10155212835577449

Rian Johnson just set his great great great grandkids up for life. I'd prefer to see him do non-star wars films but Disney signing you to do a trilogy is just about the richest you can be as a director.

Harvey Weinstein, Louis C.K., and Kevin Spacey (and so many others) don't get to work any more and they aren't in the position to abuse any more people. That's not nothing. I'm not interested in continuing this thread of conversation further.

???? I'm not saying Hollywood is going to be gone. I'm saying the foundation of hollywood is finally being blown up. Hollywood has been a cesspool of powerful white men taking advantage of women all 20th century long. Even actresses that from hollywood royalty like Gweneth Paltrow weren't safe. What does that say about our societal attitude towards women that even the most privaleged women aren't safe? People are actually starting to give a and listen to women. This is a great thing. Saying right now that things never change and won't change is just garbage and I don't wanna hear it. Times are bad, the world is sad, it's easy to be pessimistic, I get it. But people are angrier than they've ever been before. The world is changing. Blazing Saddles is absolutely not okay by today's standards but nobody's trying to view it that way? Also, Blazing Saddles is anti-racist satire. It also has a nothing to do with my point. Horrible Bosses is real sexist. Pretty racist too. Here's an evisceration that the brilliant Karina Longworth wrote back in 2011. https://www.villagevoice.com/2011/07/06/white-employed-middle-class-mans-lament-horrible-bosses/

Drunkard, I'm not interested in your take whatsoever. If we assume things won't change, they won't. Things are actually changing because people are pissed.

Welp
