Crispin Glover definitely is up there with wholesomeness. He can be creepy as gently caress but he's genuinely a nice dude off stage. He chose a bunch of people others would see as not fit for "normal" roles for his short film which is pretty awesome and inclusive.

Not that women can’t be predators, of course. Gene Wilder was by all accounts lovely, easy to work with, and pulled out all the stops for charities he was involved with.

I haven’t seen “What Is It” but from what I remember from the trailers I feel like this is an extremely generous interpretation of what he was doing. It seemed exploitative to me and I was an 18 year old complete dipshit Edit but then again I’m posting without having seen the thing and relying on 15 year old memory so uh.

Sorry, no cite, but I read an article a year or so back that said dementia was Wilder's best friend; he was uncomplicatedly happy for the first time in his life, and very sweet.

Good famous people: Terry Pratchett bought a friend of mine breakfast because he was at the convention she was working at and could see she was having a lovely morning. Sir Patrick Stewart is a delightful human being who is very outspoken about abusive relationships.

My undergraduate advisor went to uni with and roomed with Gene Wilder; they stayed friends long after one went on to become a professor and the other one an actor in Hollywood. My advisor had nothing but good stories to tell about Gene Wilder. They acted in amdrams together at university. Being a person who pulled no punches and took no poo poo off anyone, (my advisor, that is), if he had good things to say about GW, it's probably safe to assume GW was a good guy all around. He also once offered my advisor a tiny walk-on role in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother -- 'You won't have any lines, you'll get paid minimum, but think about it, Jerry [my advisor]: Your name in lights! Tiny, tiny lights, but lights nonetheless!' He also thought it was super cool that my advisor had become a professor. Ms Boods has a new favorite as of 12:20 on Aug 27, 2019 |

The problem with looking up to people is that, at the end of the day, they're people. That's why the only actor I look up to is Moose, the dog from the hit 90's television show Frasier.

2nd hand story but; at a film festival dinner hosted at a private estate , Sean Penn was smoking the entire dinner even when asked not to. and stubbed his cigarette out in his plate of food when the chef inquired how the meal was. Just a miserable person to be around at the time, wouldn't talk to anyone and just bitched and complained the whole time

Before he was publicly a right-wing shitbag, James Woods was filming a movie here and I was sat at an adjacent table from him at a hibachi restaurant. I felt bad for him because there were stage-whispered proclamations of “Hey, it’s the ‘Ooh, piece of candy!’ guy!” all around us, as if no one had seen him live-action in anything; that has to sting for a seasoned actor. But then some maybe 8-year-old kid approached him very politely for an autograph, and he barked, “gently caress OFF YOU LITTLE rear end in a top hat I’M TRYING TO EAT.” And when I was the metal (or “Loud Rock”) director for the local college radio station, I got to meet David Draiman of Disturbed. He refused to speak directly to me — I had to ask his security guy the questions, the security guy would look at him, then he would respond as if he were talking to the security guy, who would then turn and nod at me. It was so obnoxious and bizarre. Then one day, a couple years later, I made a stupid throwaway joke on Twitter about how Draiman always tweeted in all caps, and how I was going to break his capslock key. He namesearched, then retweeted me, instructing his fans to “teach her a lesson for being a whiny bitch.” And that is how I got my first rape and death threats! 🌈⭐️

For some content: an Aboriginal woman here in Australia was arrested for her own safety a little while back. If you got more than 6 words into this before realising how this worked out for her then you're not very sharp. At present the authorities are denying her family access to the security camera footage of her time in custody. As it stands they are doing everything in their power to say that despite this sort of thing only ever happening to indigenous people it isn't racially motivated at all. We once had a royal commission into Aboriginal deaths in custody / custody rates and in a move that will shock no one it's gotten worse. We now lock up our indigenous population at rates well above incarceration rates for African Americans over in the USA. 100% of the children in custody in the Northern Territory are indigenous kids just as an example.

Concatenation posted:Is this Karl Willetts because gently caress yeah gently caress yeah it's Karl Willetts.  My phone case. Got another one on my car. BOLT THROWER. Karl is a good guy, went toe to toe with some neonazi scum to protect a fan they'd been harassing. Story. Highlight: German tour manager cracked a Nazi across the head with a loving bat because he was going after Karl, who had one of his shithead buddies cornered. Only really tangentially related to the thread, but it's insane that those fucks were even allowed in. Apparently they were related to some of the security guards, so nobody was standing up to them.

pookel posted:As an American I'm not sure if this is a true thing or a racial stereotype I heard - is it also accurate that Aboriginal Australians culturally have a very hard time coping with incarceration? Or is that more of a thing for those who have been raised in a traditional lifestyle? not sure about australia, but i would argue it's very true in canada; if anything, because of how the police and rcmp treat first nations/aboriginal people. starlight tours, for example
