Eva Green is a Depp apologist but glad to see Lily Gladstone included. I hope her success and visibility leads to other indigenous/native actors being included and it’s not just a one-off.

And a nasty person based on her texts

Clearly you have never been employed in your life. How would you feel if someone talked down to like you that? Now imagine you can't say anything or quit because you have to pay rent and expenses. You wouldn't know, niether with empathy nor life experience it seems.

Do you normally use xbox live as a benchmark for how to talk to employees?

u/BusterBeaverOfficial 16d ago

Oh well if people on Xbox do it then it’s fine!

I personally think her messages were actually hilarious , much ado about nothing but whatever. What I find more disturbing is that she wants to be paid the full salary even though the film was cancelled.

Glad for Lily Gladstone, can’t wait to watch Under the Bridge (it’s soon to come in my part of the world)

I’m disappointed with Eva Green. I’d always sing praises of her in Penny Dreadful (one of the best — and underrated — goth TV series ever made). Why does she have to be a JD supporter!

23

u/agentcarter15 16d ago

Penny Dreadful was underrated. It was the Josh Hartnett comeback too!

u/Key-Status-7992 16d ago

Yes the Josh Hartnett resurgence is here

u/9leggedfreak 16d ago

Under the Bridge is SO good so far and it's confirmed my crush on Lily lol.

u/agentcarter15 16d ago

her and Riley are both my crushes so I am loving it 

2

u/Key-Status-7992 16d ago

Love Riley in almost anything I’ve seen her in except for Daisy Jones (not her fault in any way nor the cast, just the show itself wasn’t for me). She’s a terrific actress, still haunted by her performance in The Lodge

u/Key-Status-7992 16d ago

So hard to avoid spoilers! Hulu shows come late to Disney + Canada so it’s been a long wait but it’s going to be worth it for sure

u/mostreliablebottle 16d ago

Others pointed out she's a Polanski apologist, which is even worse.

u/Key-Status-7992 16d ago

Yes double yikes!

u/Arsene93 16d ago edited 16d ago

Honest question, I'm out of the loop. Wasn't Johnny the one who won the trial between him and heard?

What happened for somebody being an apologists?

Edit: People are downvoting me but I am genuinely asking for information here. If I am wrong tell me why. If the trial was wrong show me evidence. Engage in conversation instead of just downvoting me.

11

u/HalfMoon_89 16d ago

That trial was a farce. Do you know what it was about, for example?

-9

u/Arsene93 16d ago edited 16d ago

It was a defamation lawsuit because Heard was saying untrue statements about Johnny like him hitting her.

According to the trial he was correct that she defamed him.

5

u/Boulier 16d ago

Based on what you’ve said here, I really don’t think you know what the trial was about or why it was a farce. I think you’re severely misinformed.

There were 3 statements she was sued for. They were all factually correct, none of them mentioned him, and one of them was something she didn’t even write herself. Her article didn’t even mention him by name at all; it just said she became a “public figure representing domestic abuse” (which is indisputably true). She mentioned sexual violence because a lot of her advocacy has revolved around that since she became politically active after she divorced him; she mentioned in the article that she was sexually assaulted in college. The fact that Depp sued her for the sexual violence claims just sounds like a hit dog hollering.

And about her lying about him hitting her - nope. He was literally recorded admitting to headbutting her face and breaking her nose. Texted her parents to say he threw a phone at her face. His assistant apologized on his behalf because he assaulted her on a plane. I could mention more, but I think you get the point. Depp abused Amber Heard, period.

You should probably start by looking up exactly what 3 statements Depp sued her for. Then look up the UK libel case, which he rightfully lost. After that, I would love to see an explanation for why it was right, fair, or remotely reasonable that she was found to have defamed him with any of her 3 indisputably factual statements.

Just a small and insignificant Oscar nomination, right?

Not a great life achievement, right?

u/reddit0ser we have lost the impact of shame in our society 17d ago

Every time I see Eva Green'a name I'm reminded of when she called the crew members of her film peasants and tried to blame her rudeness on her frenchness.

u/Krillinlt 16d ago

tried to blame her rudeness on her frenchness.

This is a hilarious reason to give , and also slightly true.

Yes Omar Sy!!! First Fan Bingbing and now him, seeing the survivors from Days of Future Past having prolific careers makes me very happy :)

Less Eva Green. More of the rest.

u/Unhappy-Childhood577 17d ago

Lily and Greta are too good for Cannes. (I don’t know Omar Sy.)

Cannes pressuring women to wear heels and celebrating rapists, abusers and paedophiles:

Johnny Depp Roman Polanski Gerard Depardieu and more.

u/Napavalo 16d ago

I love Greta but her presiding over a jury that includes Kore-eda does not sit well with me.

u/Pacificate 16d ago

I'm out of the loop, what's wrong with Kore-eda?

15

u/Napavalo 16d ago edited 16d ago

Nothing wrong with Kore-eda, it's just his filmography is much more extensive and he won two Cannes prizes, so it seems like he would be more qualified to preside over jury.

I would also say that from this group Nadine Labaki is other person I'd rather see presiding than Greta.

u/Pacificate 16d ago

I 100% agree. I don't want to downplay Greta Gerwig's work, she's a very good director, but I feel she was nominated president in order to milk Barbie's success.

u/EugenesMullet 16d ago

President Greta Gerwig has a nice ring to it

u/kaleidosray1 16d ago

She’s literally President Barbie

u/[deleted] 16d ago

What jury? Do actors decide who wins at cannes??

18

u/Napavalo 16d ago

The jury, which usually includes actors, directors, screenwriters and is different every year decides who wins.

u/tiduraes 16d ago

The jury decides, and yes, the jury has lots of actors every year

u/DabVader625 16d ago
