Bought Rose's book on Amazon and it arrived today.
Just had to read the whole recounting of her first meeting of Harvey, the aftermath with Affleck, and then how she engaged with both in the forthcoming years. Be interested in reading about the cult years too. Assuming she goes into all that of course.
Will post back with a review in 12 months (I'm a slow reader

The Guardian is in a death spiral and this kind of trash is their attempt to keep their heads above water while clinging onto the belief that they can go full retard and still survive
"but some say" *insert wild accusation that journa can't back up" always a classic

The actual journalism in the Guardian can be fantastic - I love 'The Long Read' articles that they do which are usually a fascinating dissection of a topic - it's the Op Ed pieces that are almost always fúcking awful.0 -

Agreed. Much of the Guardian's content is really high quality and interesting. It's not going anywhere. A few clickbaity writers on the payroll won't sink it.0 -

However it is also fair to compare the episode to some of the other '#metoo' scutter that has been bandied about.
RabbleRouser2k's posts are just great in this thread.
*tips fedora*
You'd think she'd keep her head down, it's the same week she was accused of accidentally killing a nun. (Yes, I'm exaggerating for a dark joke).
There's been a great deal of 'this guy is evil...but excuse this guy/ gal'. If you look at how the Aziz Anzari 'defenders' tried to pull the 'it's not the same' when it was far worse than others were accused of, many of whom suffered severe punishments such as firings or advertising deals pulled.Yup, it was me earlier in the thread who didn't have a lot of time for Deneuve's outdated musings, and this Katy Perry incident I would see in similar light; the man obviously felt uncomfortable at her intrusion into his space and his face, and I feel for him. She shouldn't have done it, it is inconsiderate, classless and wrong, and it would be great if she at least learned something from the incident. I don't condone her "stealing a kiss" from him any more than I would if the genders were reversed - no way.
Who the heck lays their hands or their lips on other people without having the werewithal of following some basic social cues - such as don't do it to a stranger or to someone you really can't be sure if they are going to like it at all? The depressing answer to that seems to, unfortunately, be - quite a lot of people.
Yeah, that's what bothers me. As well as the 'peck on cheek' where she intentionally lured him in.
Also, some of those condemning him for saying it was a non-consensual encounter are saying he's only complaining because he didn't get through to the next round on American Idol.
That's like saying many of the 'metoo' folks who were groped are only complaining because they never won an Oscar.0 -
