When Nathan Fielder is mean to Elizabeth Holmes, I see it as expressing disdain for her crimes and avoiding being Wolfied—criticized like Martin Scorsese for The Wolf of Wall Street, for seeming too sympathetic to a fraudster; it hasn't worked, for the same misguided reasons:...

"Fuck Chris Nolan !" Après s'être trompé, pensant présenter NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN alors qu'il présentait O'BROTHERS, Ethan Coen précise que ni lui ni Joel n'avaient lu l'Odyssée. "Que Christopher Nolan aille se faire foutre, on peut tous faire un film sur L'Odyssée." 🤣

6,000 years of world history on a single timeline. Zoom in. You could spend 30 minutes exploring this.

At 23, I started sleeping with a guy I had a giant crush on who did not like me back. To me, this was very obviously what it was: I liked having sex with my crush, and he liked having sex with me. We were not dating. We had sex between episodes of Archer & Community when we saw each other. I didn't call it a situationship for the 2 years we slept together because my feelings didn't change what this was. I thought of him as a hook-up. I slept with and dated other men. Was he predatory for sleeping with a woman he probably knew quite liked him? I would say no. I slept with him *voluntarily*. (And I frankly realized my crush was irrational as I got to know him better. We would not have worked as a couple for many reasons; he was just hot & funny.) I think calling a guy who has consensual sex with a woman a predator is frankly dangerous territory that dulls down the meaning of the word predator & takes away women's agency. Some guys would tell him he was wrong to do that, but I would have missed out on 2 years of mind-blowing sex and disliked you telling him not to sleep with me, so where's my ability to choose here? And funnily enough, there was a moment I realized he was vulnerable in this arrangement in a way I was not: the condom broke. I wasn't worried; I said I'd get Plan B. He was suddenly VERY worried & asked what I'd do if the Plan B didn't work. It was hard not to laugh: there was no way in hell I'd have a baby with this guy. But the relief on his face when I informed him of that made me realize men ought to be way more proactive in finding out what a woman would do if she got pregnant during a casual fling! The woman gets the final say, after all; the man does not. So him being informed on what I'd do is incredibly important, no? But this experience made me firmly believe that women don't end up in casual situations because we're helpless prey. Sex with a crush is undeniably fun; that's why women keep going back for more even if a commitment is uncertain. He ended up dating the woman he'd marry and broke things off when they started dating. Was I sad? Yes, cuz bye bye good sex. Did I feel taken advantage of? Not at all. I understand some women fervently believe their situationship will commit any day now, but while we can argue all day whether the guy is a bad guy for that, the responsibility for our own actions ultimately falls on us. Carrie on SATC chose to keep seeing Big when he wasn't committing. A woman who has been informed there is no commitment & continues to see a guy is making a choice. She may not like the consequences of that choice, or feel hurt he's not committing, but it's still HER choice. And if a choice is made, you don't get to blame anyone else for that choice. Welcome to adulthood! A guy lying is a different story, btw. For the purpose of this specific argument, we're talking women who knowingly & willingly sleep with a man who isn't committed. I just don't consider the man a predator. And people who argue those women keep showing up because they're hoping there will be a commitment, and therefore the guy is in the wrong, are ignoring the part where the woman KNOWS there's no commitment right now. She can use her words & say she wants a commitment or she's not doing this anymore. But she doesn't. And I'd argue that's because she likes what she's getting enough to not do so. Others argue she's a helpful victim of her desire for commitment & a casual sex culture, but I will always assign adult women more agency than that. If you as a woman don't want to have sex without commitment... don't. But you don't get to blame everyone but you — the guy, the culture, the supposed social pressure — and expect me to take you seriously. Women are either responsible for their own decisions, or they're not really adults. And I sure as hell don't like the implications of the latter. No woman should!

Worked with 3 different professional writers this past week. And by pro, i mean they've been sold/staffed/produced/rep'd. Sometimes with pros, they get defensive with outside notes but all 3 were such pleasures to work with & the 1st thing they all said was 'be brutal'. Love that, but I didnt have to be brutal, just helpful. 2 found me thru personal referral. 1 thru a wga group recommendation. If ur a pro writer & want unbiased pro notes, hit me up!

When I consult on scripts, one of the biggest differences between Pro/Amateur scripts is that in the pro ones, EVERYTHING IS SETUP/PAYOFF. Watch CUPPERTINO's first episode -- EVERYTHING IS SETUP/PAYOFF. #screenwriting

The reality of the "Cornell 7" scandal: If you are a true victim of sexual assault, you do not do the following things: 1) Text the accused the next day saying you "really like being with him"; 2) Text the accused that no one should feel ashamed, "our body our choice"; 3) Ask to hang out again with one of the accused; 4) Refer to doing ketamine of the erect penis of one of the accused as "insane/jaw dropping". This is not a situation where people can look at the same set of facts and come to different conclusions. This is a case where people have come to conclusions without full knowledge of the facts, and then refuse to change their conclusions because they are emotionally attached to them.

For those just joining us here’s a quick recap on the “Cornell 7” Consensus™️ 7 men rubbed ketamine on their dicks after drugging a girl so that she’d stay unconscious while they raped her Okay that didn’t happen but 7 men definitely drugged and gang raped her Okay so she was never unconscious but she was clearly too intoxicated to consent to anything when she got there Yes everyone else was intoxicated too to the point of vomiting and passing out but still They sent a FREE PUSSY text! Clearly they wanted to gang rape her Okay well yes 3 of the guys never even touched her and one came in and told everyone to get out but uhhh Why do you even care??? Well she clearly felt coerced by all these men. She only consented to the first ketamine threesome! She consented to the second threesome? Okay well she didn’t consent to the second participant of the third threesome. The texts after are clearly just her placating abusers! She wanted to go to another party with them?? Clearly a trauma response. We are very serious people.
