They had me at Twilight Zone, I am 1000% in. I still watch the old one on Netflix, stream it last night.
 
Glad to see this young dude get work like this. Hope they do a great job of adapting the Richard Wright novel. Hits HBO April 6th.
 
A Star is Born 6/8

Movie was good. Pretty much what I expected and was a bit predictable. With that said I feel this edged out Green Book too.

To me they fast tracked that relationship :lol: Seems solely based on singing and then getting drunk and having sex then calling it love. A real rockstar typw gunshot wedding. Thats why thw ending didnt hit me hard. It was like the **** wrong with this dude. Punk *** manager talk **** and you commit that? I get it writing wise but just was not conveyed the best the way their relationship looked.

Also Jackson was drunk and drugged up so much for so long I could never tell when he was sober anyway so I could bit gauge his reactions wnd some his acting in certain situations.

Ballad of Buster Scruggs 6.5/8

Thoroughly enjoyed the majority of stories. Went from action packed to comedy to real thoughtful to satire and macrabe. Should've been watched it since its a Coen Bros joint.
 
I watched Abducted in Plain Sight and then an Elizabeth Smart documentary back to back
I can't believe how gullible and just plain stupid all the adults in the first one were, it's unreal
then in the Elizabeth Smart doc you have her 9 year old sister basically cracking the case wide open
 
Again, props to Emma Thompson for taking a stand against this foolishness. Her open letter about backing out of her project with Skydance Animation.
As you know, I have pulled out of the production of “Luck” — to be directed by the very wonderful Alessandro Carloni. It feels very odd to me that you and your company would consider hiring someone with Mr. Lasseter’s pattern of misconduct given the present climate in which people with the kind of power that you have can reasonably be expected to step up to the plate.

I realize that the situation — involving as it does many human beings — is complicated. However these are the questions I would like to ask:
  • If a man has been touching women inappropriately for decades, why would a woman want to work for him if the only reason he’s not touching them inappropriately now is that it says in his contract that he must behave “professionally”?
  • If a man has made women at his companies feel undervalued and disrespected for decades, why should the women at his new company think that any respect he shows them is anything other than an act that he’s required to perform by his coach, his therapist and his employment agreement? The message seems to be, “I am learning to feel respect for women so please be patient while I work on it. It’s not easy.”
  • Much has been said about giving John Lasseter a “second chance.” But he is presumably being paid millions of dollars to receive that second chance. How much money are the employees at Skydance being paid to GIVE him that second chance?
  • If John Lasseter started his own company, then every employee would have been given the opportunity to choose whether or not to give him a second chance. But any Skydance employees who don’t want to give him a second chance have to stay and be uncomfortable or lose their jobs. Shouldn’t it be John Lasseter who has to lose HIS job if the employees don’t want to give him a second chance?
  • Skydance has revealed that no women received settlements from Pixar or Disney as a result of being harassed by John Lasseter. But given all the abuse that’s been heaped on women who have come forward to make accusations against powerful men, do we really think that no settlements means that there was no harassment or no hostile work environment? Are we supposed to feel comforted that women who feel that their careers were derailed by working for Lasseter DIDN’T receive money?
I hope these queries make the level of my discomfort understandable. I regret having to step away because I love Alessandro so much and think he is an incredibly creative director. But I can only do what feels right during these difficult times of transition and collective consciousness raising.

I am well aware that centuries of entitlement to women’s bodies whether they like it or not is not going to change overnight. Or in a year. But I am also aware that if people who have spoken out — like me — do not take this sort of a stand then things are very unlikely to change at anything like the pace required to protect my daughter’s generation.

Yours most sincerely,

Emma Thompson
