James Franco is getting slammed with accusations.
James Franco is getting slammed with accusations.
Michael Douglas is accused, but immediately comes out with a strong defense.
Writer Megan Ganz accused Dan Harmon of harassment. After several exchanges both in person and over Twitter, Harmon detailed what he did and acknowledged it all. Essentially, Harmon apologized in the best way possible, which Ganz acknowledged and forgave on Twitter.
No doubt, what Harmon did was shitty, but at least he's showing redemption and hopefully that sets an example on how to apologize -- what Ganz termed as, "A master class in how to apologize." She wasn't looking for money or revenge, just acknowledgement and vindication, and change. It's a very good move on Harmon's part, but I also feel like it's on par with how insightful his writing tends to be.

In other news, China's building its own #metoo movement, called #WoYeShi, designed to deal with harassment within their own culture. My experience is very anecdotal, but I started noticing more movies dealing with harassment/assault as the primary plot coming from China about 10 years ago, in particular a couple of Tony Leung's films. I've no idea how long or how many movies have dealt with it, but it's a natural convergence of both #metoo as well as issues within China's own film industry that various filmmakers and actresses have been trying to bring up for decades.

"And that's the essential problem with 'Planetary' right there. When Elijah Snow says, 'The world is a strange place'... he gets Dracula, Doc Savage and Godzilla... When we say it, we get The Captain Fire-Cock Rock 'n' Roll Spectacular."

Eliza Dushku says stunt coordinator Joel Kramer sexually assaulted her during filming of True Lies, when she was 12.
Kramer is still working today, as stunt coordinator for Furious 7 and Blade Runner 2049, also working on TV shows Star Trek: Discovery and Westworld.
I think it has more to do with people finally being ready to listen and believe them more than anything. Men in power have been getting away with being assholes for so long and finally people have had enough. Alot of these women feel that FINALLY someone is going to listen and take this serious and that is why they are all coming out. This is not about shaming anyone it is about letting everyone know the kind of shitty things these guys have been pulling and getting away with some for decades.
To me it becomes too much about a man-hating movement almost like window-dressing. Notice Oprah and Streep always defended Weinstein and these Hollywood folks act all shocked that this was going on? And they are all feminist, feminist, female power. The whole Hollywood supported this thing. And notice they never go deeper and talk about the child actors, including many boys that have been victimized. It feels like they want to control this thing to protect themselves. I feel like most of the actors denouncing Weinstein and Spacey so hard is a way of cleaning their hands of things.
Just look at the way Matt Lauer went so hard at Corey Feldman when Corey was talking about having been a victim of Hollywood pedos. Lauer went hard at him cause he had his own skeletons in the closet. Just saying people should have their eyes opens cause some of the people denouncing things may not be clean as a wistle.
Aziz Ansari is under fire.
Stick "we work together and we get out of here alive"
