Christ he's insufferable. Casting abusers and assholes isn't edgy or interesting, it's just obnoxious. Then again, everything I've heard about this movie seems like Coppola was too busy sniffing his own farts to make something people might actually want to watch.
I just wish this dreck was a show instead of a film so the actors could get cancelled again.
I am so glad I was not crew on that movie.
It does sound like the set was an unsafe workplace, especially if you were a young woman.
Happy cake day!
Are you usually crew? I'm trying to move into crew work (from solo camera operator stuff), did a couple PA/gaffer gigs but aiming for DoP.
I used to be an Assistant Locations Manager. But I own a Local Game Shop now.
I love that canceled = people I don't like or that dont wanna deal with my bullshit. Some prima donna snowflake energy. Like an abusive relationship, "No one is as funny as me, why won't you like my shitty humor? It's gotta be you. You'll never find someone who is as great as me". Remember back in the good old days where I could be as toxic as I wanted and they just let you do it...but now everyone is so woke...
It's prima donna, fwiw
I like the idea of premadonna just being how we refer to a primadonna in any time before August 16th 1958, when Madonna was born
Or any time before Jesus' mother was born.
That would still make it prima donna then, right?
Pre-Madonna, I think.
So are we not yet in Post Malone?
Current Malone I believe
My cousin Donna?
The very same
I find it funny how conservatives will say how they aren't woke but won't dare say the n word.
TIL not saying the n word is a progressive value
It's at least the same concept. Words can hurt. Don't use them to hurt people. Why do they seem to get that with the n-word but not other slurs or demeaning language? Do they actually understand that with the n-word, or are they just copying what everyone else does without actually thinking about why?
I think for the hateful/misinformed people, they get that you can't help being black, but they might think it's your fault for being LGBT. I think they also assume that if they're not putting those people down, they're saying that approve of that identity, lifestyle, or culture.
But I think it's also fair to point out that most anti-woke people don't use slurs at all.

Hmmm, do you know a lot of antiwoke people or you just don't use slurs? That's a weird statement.
Both
Yikes man, when did you go antiwoke? That's a weird space I don't get. I've never met an antiwoke person that wasn't really, really racist. I'm not around them long.
I've pretty much always been antiwoke. Treating everyone equally as well as accepting people for who they are, which are both antithetical to the progressive worldview, are core tenets of the Christian faith, and I've been a Christian for nearly as long as I can remember

Not sure I understand what you're saying, I think you're implying that you're more Christian than anyone because you're antiwoke? Woke just means that you honor everyone's history. That seems pretty old school Christian to me. Ya know, the golden rule and all.
Wow I can't believe that these dudes are so cancelled that they're... still getting work?
It must be rough for them - mouth some platitudes, keep their heads down for a couple of years while they are "working on themselves" and then carry on working as usual (hopefully bring less of a prick than last time but with no real consequences there are no guarantees).
TIL that Shia LeBeouf is an abuser. I'm wouldn't have known about it if it weren't for this movie. Good job Coppola, your movie is basically a roster of people to cancel. Them all starring in a flop movie together is just kinda funny when you think about it.
I thought those were all just rumors. Did it actually go through court?
First I'm hearing about it but I've always hated that smug motherfucker. One time, like 20 years ago, he went on Conan's show on NBC and came out and like immediately just started trashing Conan's show for not having nicer chairs. Like, what the fuck. And it wasn't even done in a way that was funny, just very entitled. Conan played through it so well, though, but I hated him ever since. Glad he's catching shit for what he did.
I think he's always had a problem trying to break out of his childhood nerd acting personal and just wildly overdoes it.... Kind of like those guys who intentionally deepen their voice and walk with their arms out a little like their biceps are a little too big.... He's even mimiced that in movies before, but then unconsciously goes back to doing effectively the same thing unironically a few seconds later.
There were people who are archconservatives and others who are extremely politically progressive.
I just want to see what the film will be like now. If he wants to be different, hopefully at least he'll be different from the boring, bog-standard, predictable Hollywood script.
why is everybody talking about this movie again all of a sudden? I cannot stress how much I don't care about his opinion on my opinion
Shame, the movie looked kind of interesting
