This is some really damning stuff and I'm glad to finally have substantive articles and interviews instead of just brisk tweets. Fuck Max Landis, this is some really slimy and outright disgusting behavior from someone who really should have had at least some degree of self awareness.

American Alien is still good though.

I'd argue an American Werewolf in London or the Blues Brother is still what people would most likely associate with John Landis, if they know who he is. But the awful tragedy on Twilight Zone's set is not exactly a secret.

That Twilight Zone accident is like the nightmare scenario for anyone producing entertainment. People, from the technicians themselves to the producers, often cutting corners -for a variety of reasons- on safety rules, labor code and a lot of other little transgressions, pushing limits and risks to gain those marginal artistic edges, squeezing more or less reasonable overtime out of teams to keep with tight schedules, etc... 99% of the time it will go fine or only with minor injuries, moral bruises, spicy tales to joke about down the line or build the legend of showbusiness. When it doesn't, people die, you're responsible and it's never worth it.

I don't know where I'm going with that tangent : spare a thought for that pain in the ass co-worker who can't take a shit unless the rulebook is followed to the letter. He exists for a reason.

Gotta admire how the industry manages to keep this on the down low (maybe another "lesson" learned from the Twilight Zone accident) because some of them read really bad.

Quote
Shooter (2016). On July 6, 2016, while filming a scene at Agua Dulce Airpark, actor Tom Sizemore accidentally ran over a stuntman. Sizemore was supposed to enter the Cadillac Escalade and stay there until the scene ended. The stunt coordinator told him not to pull out, but he did so regardless, not realizing that the stuntman was behind him.

Quote
Lone Operator (2013, unaired). During filming of this planned Discovery Channel series, cameraman Darren Rydstrom, cast member Michael Donatelli, and pilot David Gibbs were killed in a helicopter crash in Acton, California. Gibbs was not authorized by the FAA to fly during the morning hours, and he had his pilot's license suspended twice prior to the accident.

Quote
The Eagle (2011). When filming in a freezing river, actors have a mixture of boiling hot water and river water poured down their suits to stay warm. A crew member forgot to mix the hot water with the river water during filming; as a result, Channing Tatum was scalded with boiling water that burned the skin off the tip of his penis.

No material evidence, most victims were in a relationship with Landis and probably had plenty of consensual sex during those, they only realized they were abused months or years after, victims most probably outgunned with regards to legal fees and lawyers, etc, etc...

It wouldn't be like that in an ideal world but it is what it is.

Toy Story has 8 "Story By" credits, possibly because they wanted to minimise John Lasseter's contribution. Can't say I blame them.

i was skimming that and read Bret Easton, didn't see it wasn't until the link loaded.

did end up on the wikipedia bluebeard page so there is that.

Quote
Although best known as a folktale, the character of Bluebeard appears to derive from legends related to historical individuals in Brittany. One source is believed to have been the 15th-century Breton and convicted serial killer Gilles de Rais, a nobleman who fought alongside Joan of Arc and became both Marshal of France and her official protector, then was hanged and burned as a murderous witch.However, Gilles de Rais did not kill his wife, nor were any bodies found on his property, and the crimes for which he was convicted involved the sexually-driven, brutal murder of children rather than women.[8]

"I know I have said and done things that might have offended people during my career, but I have never knowingly pursued any underage women at any point. All of my relationships have been both legal and consensual and I have never met or exchanged any inappropriate photos with the people who have tweeted about me. That being said, I really am truly sorry. I was a dumb guy who ABSOLUTELY let myself get caught up in my lifestyle. That’s MY fault. I own it. I’ve been reflecting on this for some time now and I promise I will continue to do better."

Whoa, no-one could have seen this coming. It turns out D'Elia is just a victim of his desire to fuck as many of his young fans as possible, and despite not having done anything actually wrong, he's been reflecting and learning: just to be safe. I'm glad this all worked out o.k.

Maaaaaaaaaaaan this sucks. Warren Ellis has written some of my favorite comics (Transmetropolitan) and one of my favorite books (Normal) and he's a scumbag.

I'm not buying it. I mean, Ellis has famously surrounded himself with beautiful women, been clear about his appreciation of them, and promoted women creators positively on his site. Katie West started in Ellis' cadre when she was mainly getting by taking artistic nude photos of herself and selling them before OnlyFans existed. She seemed primarily skilled in self promotion. A friend of mine was in this circle when West was active in Toronto and hanging off from Ellis' arm. Ellis was clear what he was about.

Other women from that era are complaining that they were taken advantage of, and about Ellis' predator behavior was when they were 22. Maybe this isn't a good look for me during #MeToo, but how about taking some personal responsibility for choices that are made as adults?

Why do you assume that's the end goal?In D'Elia's case, it seems more about him wanting to fuck with/annoy people.

Just because he does that publically doesn't mean he can't be a creep privately. I mean, see Weinstien and the numerous Clinton, Oprah, etc. photos and "Oh, he is a good friend of mine!" before the news hit about his trapping women.

I'm not saying Warren Ellis is/did the same, but the claims could have merit.

Sure, but regretting one’s own consensual decisions is not the same as being assaulted. Equating them is disingenuous, and is disrespectful of people who have experienced real tragedy.

I don't think people are doing that. I haven't seen any calls for him to face criminal charges, and Yayanos specifically says it's a different sort of trauma from a physical assault.

I read the thread.

He goes to parties and conferences takes girls up to his hotel room after drinking.
She had seen this before but she let it happen to her as well( ? )

She said no because of her period, so he backed off and gave her a lift the next day or something.
Which she thought was very nice so she introduced him to her friends.
Of course he starts hitting on those friends. Which she didn't approve.
And at some point he broke up with one of her friends and that friend went looking for him at night.

Now it seems that he was blacklisted for getting drunk at conferences and hitting on girls.

The guy sounds like an asshole so why would you get drunk or even hang out with him or introduce him to your best friends.  :doge
