That coming out apology hasn't worked so well for Spacey.

The Party

I think the most fun I've had watching a black and white film in quite a while.

They just don't make them like that anymore. That one's a classic.

Watching the trailer I'm glad they don't make it like that any more. I think I've seen it a long time ago or maybe it was a Danish remake.

Why? The film I watched was good and actually in black and white.

So Louis CK is also a pervert and his latest film has had its premiere cancelled, the imdb storyline:

"When a successful television writer's daughter becomes the interest of an aging filmmaker with an appalling past, he becomes worried about how to handle the situation." Talk about perfect timing.

Louis CK too? Now that sucks. Loved the man.

Been rumours floating around for a few years.  I don't think anyone specific has come forward with an accusation though.

I think the story was he liked exposing himself to women.

Oh - I hit up google and see that today 5 women have come forward.

[garbon]

Yes, that's the news.  And yeah, apparently as recently as last year, Roseanne Barr had mentioned that she'd heard from women who said he'd lock doors and start masturbating in front of women who hadn't consented.

On a side note, if a man asked me to come hang out in his hotel room, I'd be guessing he'd want to get his penis out. But then I don't live the life of a comic.

There's a NY Times piece today in which 5 women accuse him of sexual misconduct (not abuse or harassment, don't know if the difference is legal or semantical) between the late 90s and early 00s, basically consisting in exposing himself and masturbating in front of them. It is of course not acceptable at all, but it seems to be at least a few notches down the level of abjectness to the Weinstein stuff.

Then again his recent movie seems to have been done in the worst possible moment, just reading the synopsis gives you the creeps. Woody Allen's latest movie (the one he's shooting right now) also seems to be uncomfortable as fuck. Let's make movies about sexually inappropriate relationships between older men and younger girls in this day and age and in the current atmosphere, yay!

I can't even masturbate when my cat's in the room.

I have no problem when your cat is in room.
