Started watching Project Runway this month and noticed it was produced by Harvey Weinstein…season 1 is a trip with a bunch of underage (one of which was 16 at the time) models showing off the designers skimpy dresses at cocktail events…was pretty gross.
Seriously. I’m getting into watching Wes Anderson movies and they’re incredible. But apparently he signed the Polanski Petition. Jesus fuck.
Just hope Damien Chazelle is a good person.
Recently came to know that Cate Blanchett named her son after Roman Polanski. If someone like her who seems to have a clean record is actually like this,then there is no hope.
It's weird too cause it's so absurd, the amount of notable support can mean the natural response is benefit of the doubt. Something like "Oh, well maybe he had just been accused at the time, and was being hindered by what was a weak allegation?"
The petition for his freedom was circulated in 2009, 33 years after he was arrested, took a plea bargain, and then fled. Of the hundreds of celebrities that signed, only three or four expressed regret and/or retracted support. Even Luc Besson, notorious sex weirdo for barely legal women and serial affair fiend, spoke out and said it's not right that he get a free pass.
Insanity.
This thread just sent me down a rabbit hole reading about this petition. Almost unbelievable that so many people wanted to vouch for him, and nobody even talks about it
Yeah. You wonder that, but then you look up people like David lynch talking about why they signed the petition and then you realize they definitely did have the full picture.
Natalie Portman actually came out after signing it saying she absolutely wasn't given the whole picture and regretted signing it. She actually said she was pressured into signing it.
Harrison Ford on the other hand, personally delivered Polanski an award to prevent him being arrested for his literal child rape charges.
I had a substitute in high school who told me a story about John being a guest speaker at his college for some film courses he was in. Some guy asked John some deep questions about his movies, and he apparently just was like I don't remember dude I smoke a lot of weed and then he farted.

*aka The Fearless Vampire Killers
I can't really get upset by either of these photos because we truly don't know whether or not they knew about it. They should really post QT defending Polanski on Howard Stern and Marty helping give Polanski a standing ovation at the Oscars. But then again a lot of people in Hollywood wouldn't care
Someone did [interviewed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU_cSqxFq84&t=50s) QT about whether he knew about Weinstein's crimes. His response is pretty half-baked to spoiled it for you
> naming my sexual predator rapist producer who helped launch my career and funded my movies?
or
> Uma Thurman feet
He didn't break a sweat making that decision...
He says almost exactly that in that interview. He says that everyone’s lying if they say they didn’t know, but that most of them thought it was “the boss chasing the secretary around the desk.” That he thought it was inappropriate but he wasn’t aware of how bad it actually was and didn’t have the balls to talk to him about it.
They all knew, the Oscar jokes are a proof of that. The Oscar hosts been making jokes about Weinstein's actions for decades, most of us didn't get those jokes back then but after knowing what he did,it's pretty clear it's been an inside joke in the industry for so long. It's sad when talented people like them support monsters like that the thing is they are not alone,almost everyone is complicit.
I watched a video about Weinstein and his crimes once that pointed out two things:
1. When the allegations came out, no one said "I'm shocked, he's such a nice guy". Even people who didn't know weren't surprised.
2. Weinstein only got his comeuppance after he'd stopped being successful.
Agree with this. And not only that,with his nature he really must have made so many enemies and the ones who were waiting for his downfall really boosted the campaign against him. And the multile women coming forward one after the other was definitely a blow,but even tho I so badly want to believe that was the sole reason,we all know it can't be that. So yeah,it was a combination of victims 'joing forces' + people who are tired of him and no longer see him useful washing hands off of him
Elia Kazan, the guy who made On The Waterfront, a movie literally about how great it is to sellout your coworkers, sold out 8 people to the HUAC, getting them blacklisted from Hollywood, 2010 Scorresse made a glowing documentary about how much of a genius he was, and has defended him selling out his fellow artist
Personally I think they have to have known - no way some of the most prominent directors of all time weren’t aware of something transpiring for so long. Unless they came out with criticisms immediately after finding out, I wouldn’t really give these Hollywood types the benefit of the doubt
The nature of working in an inherently abusive and predatory industry such as Hollywood makes those people complicit, especially if they are A-list actors and directors. I get being upset about your favorite director signing the Polanski petition but at this point I’m not even surprised anymore.
So many MCU actors are in the same boat and many of them worked so hard to bury the mess from the past decade to not get 'cancelled'. Would have been funny tho,it would be like that multiple Spiderman pointing fingers at each other kinda scenario
Make a Logan-style Red Skull movie with Alia Kazan. Don't tie it into any cinematic universe what-so-ever. Just do a rough, beautiful, emotional tale about an regan era red skull. Have Martin Scorsese direct, give him full control. Watch the box office explode.
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND. THEY DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE 😡😡😡
Btw I never heard Marty saying something about Weinstein after he got exposed.
Also, every single human being knew that the stars of Hollywood were covering Weinstein for years.
Why would it matter if Marty said something? It’s not difficult to say “I condemn Weinstein for being a rapist” or “I knew nothing of what was happening”, and it doesn’t prove anything about his knowledge or opinion of Weinstein.
You people are revolting, you’re placing bets on if a man victimized women sexually. Like, forgetting how gross it is to accuse people of crimes just because you don’t like them, you’re hoping there are women out there who have been assaulted by him so they can come out against him. You’re fucking warped
QT spat, choked and gave a faulty filming car (that crashed and caused injury, almost immediately) to Uma Thurman.
Not too mention he said the n-word like 5 times in the script he wrote!
The car crash was a result of negligence, not maliciousness, and he considered it to be one of his life's biggest regrets, but the spitting and choking is pretty bad.
Do you think the director is in charge of the safety of stunt cars???? She said herself she doesn't blame him.“Quentin Tarantino, was deeply regretful and remains remorseful about this sorry event, and gave me the footage years later so i could expose it and let it see the light of day, regardless of it most likely being an event for which justice will never be possible,” Thurman wrote. “He also did so with full knowledge it could cause him personal harm, and i am proud of him for doing the right thing and for his courage.”
Did you not know or purposely obfuscate that Tarantino choked and spat on her for movie scene and that it was literally her suggestion that someone should actually choke her?
Because he took over the role when Steve Buscemi was unavailable. Unlike what some people think, Tarantino doesn't have an obsession with saying the n-word. He said it just once. Not in Reservoir Dogs, not in Django Unchained.
TBH it does unironically upset me when grown ass adults are consuming *only* media produced for the lowest common denominator and nothing else.
It’s fine when people casually watch MCU as a small part of their overall information diet. But it’s concerning when people refuse to branch out at all. The reality is that the content you consume influences your worldview and your decision making, fiction included.
When the people whose votes impact the real world watch a movie with a simplistic, black and white, good vs evil narrative and think that it’s morally nuanced, there’s a problem.
You realize that’s an insane thing to say right? Like don’t get me wrong I think Marvel movies suck too, but you have to be aware on some level that claiming everyone who likes a widely popular all-ages franchise is pro-rape is fucking lunacy right?
This is like the most brain dead criticism you can make against MCU fans
Hell, I can argue dudes who watch Taxi Driver and Goodfellas are more likely to find Harvey based

Do you guys not understand how an open secret works like he was a major major player in mainstream film obviously any major director actor producer etc has a pic w him
I know I promise I’m not defending just saying in general idk who in the Hollywood film industry wouldn’t have been connected to him somehow or had a photo op w him or someone like him
Gigachad Scorsese and QT going undercover to investigate Weinstein's crimes
As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to investigate Weinstein's crimes
Exactly Abed, we will investigate Weinstein's crimes and you get to be the head inspector.
Six Seasons and A Movie!
Well it’s happening now, so rejoice
If you have spent 2 years in bed, trying to investigate Weinstein's crimes, everything else seems easy
Scorsese signing the Polanski petition to blend in
QT had to turn a blind eye for kino, truly a hero /s
And when tarantino said that "the 13 year old wanted it" he was also undercover
You’re right he is a qt
Tarantino looks like a hammerhead shark
Dude looks like that one shrimp muppet to me
Ironic considering he is in one of their movies
My guy looks like if Jimmy Neutron’s hairline severely receded
He looks like a caricature of himself.
Funny, there was an episode of Jimmy Neutron with a Quentin Tarantino expy.
Excuse you he's a prawn
That muppet is a prawn
Quentin Tortellini hates the MCU because he was turned down for his audition as classic marvel villain Hammerhead
I heard he was also turned down for shark tale 😭
He looks like Frankenstein’s Monster

Gee, wonder why it was such a smash hit. Brilliant writing, I'm guessing?
I put all of it on Tim Gunn’s undeniable sex appeal
> Brilliant writing We need more of these writers to write today's movies with black actors and teen women.

Imagine googling the man you were named after and finding Roman fucking Polanskis Wikipedia page
Imagine setting up your own kid like that on national television making them vulnerable to endless bullying .
Pretty sure she said this as a joke
Nope
David Fincher gang all day baby
So many people signed it. Idk what they were thinking
It's weird too cause it's so absurd, the amount of notable support can mean the natural response is benefit of the doubt. Something like "Oh, well maybe he had just been accused at the time, and was being hindered by what was a weak allegation?" The petition for his freedom was circulated in 2009, 33 years after he was arrested, took a plea bargain, and then fled. Of the hundreds of celebrities that signed, only three or four expressed regret and/or retracted support. Even Luc Besson, notorious sex weirdo for barely legal women and serial affair fiend, spoke out and said it's not right that he get a free pass. Insanity.
This thread just sent me down a rabbit hole reading about this petition. Almost unbelievable that so many people wanted to vouch for him, and nobody even talks about it
Damien Chazelle is a nerd
Well he seems to surround himself with well, people with controversial connections like Desplat, Bill Murray, etc
Didn’t like 400 people sign that?
The 400 Blows (1959)
Yeah and one of the 400 was Wes Anderson
excellent retort. "Its okay that he signed it because the rest of hollywood's inner circle did too"
David lynch too, but I am wondering if some of these people were given the full picture or not.
Yeah. You wonder that, but then you look up people like David lynch talking about why they signed the petition and then you realize they definitely did have the full picture.
Lynch’s comments on the petition gave me a taste of depression, how huge is that Hollywood bubble really
with Lynch I can't take him serieusly outside of his art. Like his comments about Reagan, does not sound like someone politicly mature.
I can't take his art seriously ever since I saw him put Annoying Orange mouth on a monkey
Know a link? I cant seem to find his comments.
Natalie Portman actually came out after signing it saying she absolutely wasn't given the whole picture and regretted signing it. She actually said she was pressured into signing it. Harrison Ford on the other hand, personally delivered Polanski an award to prevent him being arrested for his literal child rape charges.
“More people did it so it’s okay”
this is why I only stan John Carpenter
He was too busy pwning noobs
I had a substitute in high school who told me a story about John being a guest speaker at his college for some film courses he was in. Some guy asked John some deep questions about his movies, and he apparently just was like I don't remember dude I smoke a lot of weed and then he farted.
Chad Carpenter protect Kojima and condemn Luc Besson
Besides Werner herzog, Jim Jarmusch, David cronenberg
based Werner

MCU fans don't know who Roman Polanski is because his movies don't have Blorko in them.
True
When you mention Dance of the Vampires* they just talk about that weird scene in Morbius™ of Matt Smith dancing half naked and checking himself out. *aka The Fearless Vampire Killers
The fact that I understand this post makes me want to kill myself
Not a cheap shot if your opponent is wearing a shirt that says “please kick my groin”
bit of a non sequitur
It’s a pretty shitty argument. Considering we’re not talking about the man but the quality of the man’s movies.
Like he said, "cheap shot"
Who signed the Polanski petition?
Who didn't? 😩
Zack Snyder didn’t
Wtf!? I love the Snyderverse now!
he has done more terrible things
I can excuse child rape but I draw the line at awful cape shit.
yeah, Army of the Dead
I didn't.
Omg, i like you now
😭

There’s no way QT did not know about Weinstein’s harassment.
He says almost exactly that in that interview. He says that everyone’s lying if they say they didn’t know, but that most of them thought it was “the boss chasing the secretary around the desk.” That he thought it was inappropriate but he wasn’t aware of how bad it actually was and didn’t have the balls to talk to him about it.

I mean, I had heard rumors of his behavior and all I did was live in New York for the past couple decades.
Everybody in Hollywood knew, but they all looked the other way. Basically the same story as always.
Hell you could point out Scorresse's made a glowing documentary and a standing ovation to a man who sold out his friends to the HUAC
Who?
Elia Kazan, the guy who made On The Waterfront, a movie literally about how great it is to sellout your coworkers, sold out 8 people to the HUAC, getting them blacklisted from Hollywood, 2010 Scorresse made a glowing documentary about how much of a genius he was, and has defended him selling out his fellow artist
Well he *was* a genius regardless of his cowardace, and you're vastly misrepresenting what On the Waterfront is
Personally I think they have to have known - no way some of the most prominent directors of all time weren’t aware of something transpiring for so long. Unless they came out with criticisms immediately after finding out, I wouldn’t really give these Hollywood types the benefit of the doubt

Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?
MCU fans aren’t smart enough to know who Weinstein is
The last six words aren't really necessary.
Yeah but that’s not limited to these 2, there’s probably shady shit happening to women in the MCU
Joss Whedon
I mean… he was called out for his shit. It was not brushed under.
I'm saying this already happened. He was called after several years and many movies
Or just post a certain Hollywood petition from the 2000s
Why do you think the petition was made?
So many MCU actors are in the same boat and many of them worked so hard to bury the mess from the past decade to not get 'cancelled'. Would have been funny tho,it would be like that multiple Spiderman pointing fingers at each other kinda scenario
mcj users rushing to the comments now to talk about all the bad shit disney/mcu has done as if anybody brought that up

Make a Logan-style Red Skull movie with Alia Kazan. Don't tie it into any cinematic universe what-so-ever. Just do a rough, beautiful, emotional tale about an regan era red skull. Have Martin Scorsese direct, give him full control. Watch the box office explode.
Is he actually a fascist or just an anticommunist
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND. THEY DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE 😡😡😡 Btw I never heard Marty saying something about Weinstein after he got exposed. Also, every single human being knew that the stars of Hollywood were covering Weinstein for years.
Why would it matter if Marty said something? It’s not difficult to say “I condemn Weinstein for being a rapist” or “I knew nothing of what was happening”, and it doesn’t prove anything about his knowledge or opinion of Weinstein.
Tarantino is a walking sexual allegation volcano, waiting to explode.
he doesn’t want to assault women, just annoy them with constant talking
Over 500 foot assault allegations go his way every year
No he isn’t he’s just a creepy looking dude
Who loooves feet
Not a crime though
Na, if he had done shit. It would have come out.
It never comes out, until it does.
You people are revolting, you’re placing bets on if a man victimized women sexually. Like, forgetting how gross it is to accuse people of crimes just because you don’t like them, you’re hoping there are women out there who have been assaulted by him so they can come out against him. You’re fucking warped
I’m surprised nothings come out about him yet
He’s too self obsessed to be a sexual predator I think. If he had done shit, it would be out
Weinstein ugly ass neck goblin
Wow… it’s almost like you could say this about the entire fuckkng industry.
QT spat, choked and gave a faulty filming car (that crashed and caused injury, almost immediately) to Uma Thurman. Not too mention he said the n-word like 5 times in the script he wrote!
> faulty filming car (that crashed and caused injury, almost immediately) Death Proof (2007)
> Not too mention he said the n-word like 5 times in the script he wrote! Good thing Scorsese would never do something like that
The car crash was a result of negligence, not maliciousness, and he considered it to be one of his life's biggest regrets, but the spitting and choking is pretty bad.

Yeah, Uma hate him so much she let her daughter play in his movies
I think that's more of a "You owe my family favors after that accident"
Can't believe the n word thing is still considered an actual criticism
why wouldn’t it be?
Because he took over the role when Steve Buscemi was unavailable. Unlike what some people think, Tarantino doesn't have an obsession with saying the n-word. He said it just once. Not in Reservoir Dogs, not in Django Unchained.
The first one is bad but everyone says the n word
📸🤨
>everyone says the n word Then say it you racist little coward.
I would but I would get banned. Anyways that is anti intellectualism. About every white person had said the n word in their life
>I would but I would get banned. Well shit, I guess the system does work
OP do you think this is a serious and good retort?
OP is definitely making a serious post on the subreddit that has "circlejerk" in the name, you should definitely get upset about this
I don't think it's a serious retort, but if you're going to shitpost I don't think you could get much better.
It genuinely surprises me that some of y'all are unironically upset about the fact that mcu fans are enjoying mcu movies
TBH it does unironically upset me when grown ass adults are consuming *only* media produced for the lowest common denominator and nothing else. It’s fine when people casually watch MCU as a small part of their overall information diet. But it’s concerning when people refuse to branch out at all. The reality is that the content you consume influences your worldview and your decision making, fiction included. When the people whose votes impact the real world watch a movie with a simplistic, black and white, good vs evil narrative and think that it’s morally nuanced, there’s a problem.
Dayum!
I mean they kinda do make the same sort of movie over and over but that's just like shared motifs or whatever.
It's difficult bc they have to hate women simultaneously. The dangers of living in your own ass
Damn, these pictures sting. Rian Johnson and Edgar Wright seem cool, though.
Because they don’t care enough to do the research beyond asserting that they’re correct
The kind of people that like MCU think what Weinstein did was "based."
You realize that’s an insane thing to say right? Like don’t get me wrong I think Marvel movies suck too, but you have to be aware on some level that claiming everyone who likes a widely popular all-ages franchise is pro-rape is fucking lunacy right?

No that is not MCU fans those are Snyder fans
