also ER was an ensemble drama whereas sopranos, BB, and mad men are all centered around a single protagonist (in way ER really isn't..... from what i remember) also there are plenty of other counter examples from the 90s —— michael richards/jason alexander, the male leads (at least) of the friends cast, ray romano, calista flockhart, etc etc Wraith of J.O.I. has issued a correction as of 02:41 on Nov 30, 2022 |

Channing Tatum is good at one thing while Chris Evans is pretty decent at several things. I'd take Evans plus he's hotter

You have this incredibly shot, acted, scored movie and its plot hinges on a self-declared pangender kid mumbling woke buzzwords as Tár bullies him and an edited video of it goes viral. Then for some reason in the incredibly "woke" classical music world, this immediately results in pickets outside her book launch and people discover that she groomed proteges and she gets cancelled and her career implodes. The movie even name checks a conductor who was legitimately accused of multiple assaults as being cancelled and he still guest conducts major orchestras! Just a complete waste of great filmmaking on a plot that treats cancel culture (especially in classical music!) as a real actual factual thing and the main plot of your Important Classically Tragic movie. For once I slightly agreed with Richard Brody which terrifies me.

I tried to finish watching "All My Friends Hate Me" for the third time. I have like 15 minutes left. It's a movie that makes me too uncomfortable for the characters to continue after like 25 minutes and then I pause it and save it for a different day. I think that's what it is going for, so I guess it's good?

It presents a lot of conflicts in the plot as the chaotic world intruding on her controlled life. It relies on omission to show her as an unreliable narrator, but it still presents an actual outside world that is in conflict with her and not just from her point of view. The conversation with woke the student caricature, the protests and pickets and her losing her job from a very conservative art form that has forgiven others who have done similar, the end in a South-East Asian country presented as her fall to the very depths. These are all parts of the narrative arc of the movie that rely on a conservative understanding of cancel culture and art, not just from her perspective. The movie isn't sympathizing with her as a person but it does try to play with ambiguity and cancel culture going too far and shows her as a valuable artist. I think saying it's all from her perspective forgives too much of the plot which takes place outside of her control. To me, using a Me Too moment and cancel culture as the narrative arc, combined with the mocking of campus culture, felt too fragile a framework to hang the very interesting character work and arc, and betrays a misunderstanding of how power is still wielded in our society.

Will Smith revisited his infamous Oscar night for the first time in his first major TV interview since slapping Chris Rock onstage last March. Speaking to Trevor Noah on the Daily Show on Monday night, Smith described how he "just lost it" over Rock's joke about Smith's wife's hair. "That was a rage that had been bottled for a really long time," he said, prefacing his comments by saying his emotions didn't justify his behavior. "I guess what I would say is you just never know what someone is going through. I was going through something that night. ... It's like when they say 'Hurt people hurt people,' you know?" Smith said his biggest challenge over the past eight months has been learning to forgive himself "for being human." "I had to humble down and realize that I'm a flawed human and I still have an opportunity to go out in the world and contribute in a way that fills my heart and hopefully helps other people," he said. Throughout the 20-minute interview, Noah spoke nearly as much as Smith, offering absolution and affection as a teary-eyed Smith nodded along. "You are one of those rare breeds of people who've spent more time in the spotlight than out of it," Noah said. "I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that I don't want that to define you. I don't think it should define you. I don't think that any one of us in life deserves to be defined by our one f**k-up." Smith was on the show to promote the new film Emancipation, a dark historical drama in which Smith stars as a runaway slave. The film's director Antoine Fuqua has repeatedly defended Apple's decision to release Emancipation this December, even as the Smith slap still dominates the Hollywood discourse. Speaking on a morning talk show earlier this week, Smith said he'd understand if audiences choose to skip seeing the film to boycott his behavior. "I would absolutely respect that and allow them their space to not be ready," Smith told journalist Kevin McCarthy on Good Day DC. "My deepest concern is my team. ... The people on this team have done some of the best work of their entire careers, and my deepest hope is that my actions don't penalize my team. At this point, that's what I'm working for." "I completely understand that if...someone is not ready, I would absolutely respect that and allow them their space to not be ready...My deepest hope is that my actions don't penalize my team." Expanding on how he disappointed those around him, Smith shared a story about how his 9-year-old nephew reacted to seeing the slap on TV. "He had stayed up late to see his Uncle Will. We're sitting in my kitchen, and he's on my lap and he's holding the Oscar. And he's just like, 'Why'd you hit that man Uncle Will?' " Smith said, pausing to wipe away tears. "Why are you trying to Oprah me?" he joked to Noah. "Look, it was a mess. I don't want to go too far into it to give people more to misunderstand." Smith's popularity with fans was built in part on his cheerful demeanor. He told NPR's Fresh Air last year that he crafted that image to cover up childhood trauma, including watching his father beat his mother when he was 9 years old. Noah characterized that night as one of the best and worst nights of Smith's life, let alone his career. The actor won his first Academy Award for best actor for his performance in King Richard, but the famed smack and its aftermath overshadowed his success. Smith later resigned from the Academy, which also banned him from all its events for the next 10 years. Smith eventually did apologize to Rock, in a video posted to social media this July, but Rock said at the time he wasn't ready to discuss the incident. He's since reportedly joked about the incident at various stand-up performances.

the only thing in Tar that struck me as too exaggerated was the picket, because its hard to imagine rousing that much popular opposition to a conductor however famous/pop culture they are. Did anyone picket Zimmer when when all that stuff came out about him being a dickhead? the woke student stuff is treading a very fine line, especially as it comes right towards the start of the film, but it ends up being a bit of a bait and switch - she's a huge rear end in a top hat to the kid regardless of how articulate he's being, so it hard to feel sorry for her even if the video clip later has been edited. sleeping with an abusing the students at her charitable scholarship institute is what actually does for her. and the scene is important otherwise because it sets up tar's fatal flaw: her whole thing is connecting to these ancient composers through understanding their lives and experiences and trying to relate to that, but she violently rejects any attempt to do that to her. she doesn't want to be "the woman composer" or "the lesbian composer" but ultimately yeah, her fall from grace is likely worse than the male musicians she mentions because of those factors. even then though, in true rich people style she's down but not out. she can hire a PR film and hide out doing monster hunter for a few years and come right back.
