I saw the new Murder on the Orient Express and despite the all-star cast, it was perfunctory and lifeless, though I suppose you could say the same about most Kenneth Brannaugh films.

So basically he used his show to indulge in his making people watch him masturbate against their will fetish on a mass scale.  K. Waste posted:God, what a great archive. Yo, MHB, I'm using Psychomania and Zeitgeist in my next spoiler alert cause one's perfect for a montage of early silent horror, and the other's perfect for HP Lovecraft/Jean Painleve I'm legit pumped that I'm able to spread that archive around, it's so heckin'.

I wish I was exaggerating any of that. It might actually be worse than I remember because I saw that episode exactly once when it aired and never again.

The main thing I remember about his standup, besides the fact that he talked about jerking off a lot (apparently if you ever see a guy jerking off under a bridge it's because the wife and kids at home never let him have his jerk-off time) is how often and with how much detail he discussed his daughters' like, private parts and bodily functions just to get a squeamish laugh.

As much as I hate to play devil's advocate that stuff about his kids was really only his first two specials. He moved onto other topics when he really blew up, but knowing what we know now does make those bits seem a lot worse than just cringey.

It was my first exposure to CK and it's kind of hung over everything else he's done - faux introspection and self-disgust as humor. "my kids are so lovely and my wife's a oval office and i'm gonna take a picture of you and jerk off on it later nyahhhh hate me i'm a fat disgusting pig nyehhhhhhh" which now seems extra-weird and shameful.

A lot of stand up comedy is about hyperbole and looking at day to day life in an extreme and grotesque way so it's not hard to see why it seemed funny at the time or how no one noticed that the man saying these things is a deviant.

A story related to all of these sexual assault accusations, and how some people are handling them: I went in to close the movie theater for the first time last night, which means showing up at 10, maybe selling a couple tickets to the last round of shows (it was a wednesday, so very limited numbers in general), then cleaning up the popcorn popper and putting up times for the next day and stuff like that, then waiting until all the shows are out and shutting down the projectors. Oftentimes, one or more employees will be treating themselves to a showing of something, either something new that comes out the next day or something they brought from home, and last night was no different. One of my coworkers, who has been around for a while (he worked as a projectionist when that was still a thing) was there to watch Murder on the Orient Express with a few other guys, and we had a conversation while they were waiting for it to transfer to the projector for the biggest theater. We started out talking about Kevin Spacey and the news of his replacement in All The Money in the World, then kinda gradually went outwards to talking about everyone else who had been pulled into the spotlight, as well as my general dislike of Polanski and Allen. The other guys who were there were younger and didn't know who they were, so I got to run down the list of poo poo they've done, but my older coworker was well aware, and you could tell that as the conversation went along further, he was getting upset. He's a huge movie buff and he told us that all of this stuff was really bringing him down, that it was ruining a lot of things that he loved and putting them in a different perspective and he just seemed like he wasn't coping with it very well. He's a white guy in his 30s or so, and I think when you live in a bubble with no real desire to expose yourself to the negative aspects of filmmakers that you like (you know, separating art from artist) and that it's very likely that a lot of the people who you respect and look up to aren't very good people at all, you feel like you're getting beaten over the head with a reminder that Hollywood is not a very nice place and that can really affect you. At one point he started to call the whole thing a "witch hunt" and started to sound like he thought these things were just attempts to bring people down for some reason, which i quickly tried to cut off because letting that idea take seed can only lead one down a dark road. He also mentioned that he was worried that this would start a trend of attempting to get rid of or censor works starring figures who were revealed to be abusers (the one and only time the phrase "social justice warriors" came into play in this conversation), or that it would be harder to find things if an abuser made/starred in them. We then made a brief jaunt into politics (he mentioned that this whole episode was a backlash to "hollywood losing the election") and got into a mildly uncomfortable debate about the idea of diversity being shoved down the throat of Hollywood and especially the Oscars (which he claimed were being made less significant with the focus on diversity at the expense of what actually deserved awards, which got kinda laughed off by all of the rest of us), and he got really angry at Hidden Figures in particular (compared to Moonlight, which was his favorite movie of last year) because he thought it was a bad movie that only got attention because of the story it told and the desire for more diversity (which I don't think he was entirely wrong about, although I liked it more than him). That was around the point where I exited because that's not really a road I wanted to travel down at 1am when I just wanted to leave, and he was clearly troubled and maybe not saying the smartest things in general. Generally speaking he's a really nice guy who is very passionate about movies (the two of us watched Return of the Living Dead and Phantom of the Paradise last weekend before Halloween on the big screen), but it reminded me that not everybody is seeing this series of events in the same light. I really hope he doesn't keep going down the road of blaming the people coming out and telling their stories, and that he was just having a bad day (which can happen when people you respect and admire turn out to be creepy rapists). When you're a man, you often don't have to confront the dark side of the things you love because you think "well if *i'm* not doing it then it's not my problem", so when the rumble becomes loud enough that you can't ignore it, some people lash out. But of course, the feelings of some dorky dudes in the midwest aren't really the important part of this debacle.

No, yeah, and I get that, back in college I watched his stand-up specials repeatedly and cried laughing because they were just so astonishingly funny, but as the rest of his life kind of came together it started to seem less funny and more disquieting, and now it's reached a needlepoint of total assault that's firmly punctured his output.

"these women that have never met before and all of which tell similar stories (the one with the most egregious claim being someone who voted Republican) are clearly lying because of the vast love and riches that await women who accuse men in power of abusing them". The amount of people on the Right that eagerly joined in on condemning all the accusations coming out of Hollywood but skeptical the second it became about Roy Moore shows how concerned these people really are about sexual assault. axelblaze fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Nov 10, 2017 |

There were some jokes of CK that stuck with me because they were a bit too.. felt like they had an ulterior motive to them, but at the time didn't pay much mind to it, welp, guess should have payed more attention to it.

I feel like “Public Apology 101” should just be yelling “USE THE WORD SORRY IN YOUR PRESS RELEASE DUMMY” There’s no excuse not to, and an apology without the word “sorry” or “apologize” just feels tacky at best, and lovely at worst.
