Multiple charges have been made against Joss Whedon on the set of Buffy. Including Charisma Carpenter and SMG. Plus actors from the Justice League movie. From the sound of it the guy seems borderline psychotic.

Whedon apparently repeatedly called a pregnant Carpenter "fat" and kept asking her if she was "going to keep it". And constantly threatened to fire her.

Fuck this guy

Maybe more people will join me in thinking Cabin In The Woods is overrated and that Tucker & Dale Vs Evil is a way more entertaining and less irritating meta horror film from 2012.

The Charisma stuff was pretty widely known for years by fans of Angel. Joss was also notorious for pitting actors/actresses against each other including getting Alyson Hannigan & Amber Benson to feud with each other on set around Season 5 to the point they wouldn't speak to each other. His foot fetish stuff is on the level of Quentin Tarantino in Hollywood circles. There was a DVD Commentary on the Season 6 or 7 set where Joss kind of badmouthed SMG's attitude, etc. kind of calling her unprofessional and no longer a team player and such. There were beliefs that Buffy's Season 7 speeches were some petty callouts from Joss about how he felt SMG's attitude was during that period.

Even at the time of Angel's Season 4 it was kind of clear to fans that stuff was up re: Cordelia's Pregnancy/the way her death was treated plot-wise. Also Season 6's Buffy/Spike stuff was attributed a lot to Marti Noxon and her personal issues seeping into the product but in hindsight it wouldn't surprise me if some of it was Joss' own personal attitudes/beliefs.

Yup. I've been on this train the entire time. Tucker and Dale is pure genius. Cabin in the Woods tries to hard to be clever.

I've seen Tucker & Dale enough times to say that it is a perfectly acceptable horror parody with a solid cast. I've seen Cabin in the Woods enough times to say that it is an extremely well made satire about the horror genre at large.

He also played a comedian who preyed on a teenager on YOU.

IIRC Bix is "Marcus K Fabian". As we know from BTS, Bix can get locked into arguments and seems not to mind winning through attrition.

I, of course, jumped in early in the thread to be play Devil's Advocate. I don't have any affection for Woody Allen, but I am watching the series.

I believe the only Allen film I've seen is "Everything you wanted to know about sex but were afraid to ask" But that was because I try to own as much Burt Reynolds films as I can.

Crimson Mask is like 75% of the reason why I never want Wrestling Classics brought up. He is like a weirdo aged version of Bix with nebulous connections to the music industry.

I feel like if I did make that accusation, @BUTT , it was only cause CM falsely alluded to being in Chic.

I'm the retard who watches trash on UFOs, Bigfoot, etc, and loves true crime stuff, but I can't shake viewing Mia Farrow and this doc in a skeptical light. I am on part 3, and it could be argued they picked and choose what to play of Farrow and Allen's taped phone conversations. They literally cut it off after an accusation, then pick it back up with Mia talking more from a different portion of the tape.
They also show when Dylan is taken to the hospital there is nothing medically wrong noted, but they then show Mia's claims that Dylan was afraid to say something to a stranger. Then Mia brings her back the next day and Dylan verbally says it happened to the doctor, but there was still no evidence. So Mia could have coached her up.
Or he did it.

A lot of the details don't add up because that's what kids do when recalling sexual assault. I remember that people got focused on those details with regards to Michael Jackson even though those kids could describe his dick in perfect detail. Some people are in denial about MJ even despite that. It also sounds like this is a very poorly put together documentary.

But he definitely did it.
