OT but about the Louis Wain person, apparently he or she got in some fight with that mentality ill woman that harass BC, his friends and his fans and now two friends/followers/sympharizers seems to be threatening BC on Twitter because he "dared" to play Louis Wain! Where all these insane people comes from? Lol
Also isn't that victim blaming?

The Wain bot got attacked by Melosyna b/c Dusky made a cute little comparison video of Wain cats & BC, and then a few of their friends piled on. They just don’t like BC, for whatever reason. I don’t think it’s a big deal. Did they say why they don’t want him playing Louis Wain? I couldn’t find it. All I could find was a comment or two about “past projects.” 🤷🏻♀️

I saw a tweet by someone who claimed to be the person behind that bot account saying he or she was happy that the movie was abandoned or discarded because he or she hates BC so the project was a sacrilege and apparently that ill woman confirmed their hate was justified. No idea why they believed the movie isn’t happening anymore! The profile photo seemed to suggest he or she is a furry (a person who finds sexual pleasure dressing themselves like an anthropomorphic furry animal. I guess they being a Louis Wain fan make some twisted logic even when that surely wasn’t the intention of Louis Wain!).
Later I saw two tweets by other persons who also have some cartoon characters on their profiles that also suggested some connection with furries also attacking BC and the movie. One claimed BC will destroy “another” mental ill character (he has played two characters with mental health issues: Van Gogh and Patrick Melrose. Both acclaimed and in the case of Melrose, the portrait was also recommended by actual formal associations dedicated to mental health issues so no idea what this person it’s talking about neither); and the other apparently threatening BC saying that he better doesn’t even dare to play Louis Wain! So yeah, insane!
By the way, they seem very worried about mental health issues but only when it’s related to movies because when they find someone who clearly suffers from it in real life they feel extremely triggered and react attacking BC! Another example of how self-righteous people just doesn’t know anything about real life and are obsessed with celebrities.
I actually know someone with schizophrenia and no, it’s not something romantic or nice like social media believes. It’s sad and tragic like reading that woman comments on Twitter and sometimes yes, they attack you and unfairly accuse you of unbelievable things.

Well, I know M. thinks Dr. Strange isn’t happening but I couldn’t find any tweet that the Bot thought so, too. Whatever. It’s a bunch of very young people (Bot owner is 22), with a limited understanding of the way things work, and some folks think it’s “cool” to hate on BC. For stupid reasons, imo, lol. He puts a ton of care into his portrayals.
Sorry to go off topic here. 😬

It was another account but he claimed to be behind that other “bot” account. I saw it on BC hashtag. I didn’t even read their threads. It seemed to me he was trying to show that M. person that he wasn’t a BC’s fan showing her an older tweet saying how much he hates him and how he was happy that the movie was stopped/suspended/ whatever (probably you can find that tweet on the answers to her account). I have blocked that M. person so I didn’t read anything by her. I thought it was hysterical that a furry was attacking the film and BC! Then later I saw the other two and I imagined they were connected because the furry link but again, I didn’t went deep into the issue! I also saw a few fans apologizing to his Louis Wain bot account which I think it’s silly because they aren’t responsible for M. behavior. She is very sick! But also because the person behind it seems to be a furry!

I totally should stop reading the hashtags, doesn’t? But returning to the theme of this thread (no more furries!), I saw someone saying that Netflix didn’t want to go to Cannes because they can’t bribe the jury there then citing some of the accusations about the Emily in Paris/Golden Globe debacle last year. Actually, Netflix wanted it IN competition. That’s the issue! They weren’t running away from the “incorruptible” festival (*cough*Sean Penn*cough*), they just didn’t accepted it to be Out of Competition. Also, I understand the ones who “bribed” the Foreign Press members were Paramount not Netflix. They later sold the series to the streaming company.
But apart of the silly accusations, there are other tweets defending the festival and going against Netflix. Again I understand it (but for better reasons that the ones cited above!) but at the same time, I agreed with Netflix: I mean if they have already an invitation for Venice then why they would accept less for someone like Campion? As someone said yesterday, Cannes didn’t need Netflix but Netflix doesn’t need Cannes neither. And now, it’s clear that it was the festival the ones that really wanted the films there and not the other way so why some feel so hurt?
I was also thinking about the person who accused Campion of selling out to Netflix. Again, she like a lot of female filmmakers has had problems to find financing for her movies in the past. She didn’t made a film for more than 10 years because that and lost a few projects along the way and she surely would had lost TPOTD to the COVID-19 if it weren’t for Netflix. Remember that cameraman who thanked the company because they were pay the crew their salaries during the hiatus and BC saying the production was financing at least part of his staying in New Zealand when he decided to stay there after the lockdown “out of consideration for how best to get the film completed for Jane Campion” (and, at the same time, not risking his family with a long flight). I doubt this film would had been finished if behind this were just a small indie company instead Netflix. And according to Roger Frappier and Campion herself, they also gave them total freedom to do the film they wanted!
So yeah, Netflix seems to be definitely the best option!
Now, no more Twitter tonight!

I saw this comment on Facebook and I really liked, There is a lot of pretentious people agreeing with Frémaux but then saying bonkers things like Netflix is Hollywood and Cannes doesn’t want Hollywood or that Netflix only wants Oscars and that’s why Cannes doesn’t want their movies but that contradicts what actually really happened: Cannes really wanted those films but Netflix had a better offer in Venice. Also barely no one mentions the real issue: the protectionism of French laws to movie theatres. It’s actually a good reason but it’s interesting how randoms ignored it. Originally, Frémaux included and defended Netflix movies in competition. It was the backlash by theatre’s owners what make him to change of opinion and implement that new Cannes rule. Netflix has a lot of garbage on its site but they also support a lot of art cinema and filmmakers when no one else do. I remember I read somewhere that a lot of the buyers there are the same people who worked for indie companies in the 1990s.

This is a fascinating article because the guy just doesn’t explain why he thinks Netflix is the loser here. He just said it! Lol But hey, he sounds kind of snob so he should be really cool, doesn’t? 😉 www.screenhub.com.au/news-article/news/film/david-tiley/netflix-snooty-at-cannes-and-our-sector-clobbered-262759Other things he didn’t mention: that apart of projecting the film on movie theatre’s screens, Netflix must wait three years to put it on their streaming services and that the movies very probably will be in competition at the Venice Film Festival! Small details! This article by Le Fígaro sounds much more critical (the sub headline says that French cinema doesn’t want Netflix competing at Cannes but they want its money and the quote on the tweet is about Fremaux really wanting the movies but only to be treated as something secondary) and much more smart (at least it seems it actually mentions the “details” the other one ignores and I’m curious about what money the article is talking about! Extra info?) but sadly it’s behind a paywall! The silly piece opinion is the free one! Lol

A random mention but related to the article above. The guy who called Netflix “snooty” is interviewing Sydney Film Festival director (apparently it usually screens some Cannes films but this year it’s impossible because both will be almost at the same time) and he asked about the “local” directors that could had been at Cannes,
www.artshub.com.au/news-article/news/film/david-tiley/sydney-film-festival-first-glimpses-of-a-program-to-confound-covid-262769
Or the journalist really ignored the whole Cannes-Netflix conflict or he is playing dumb to maybe create same local polemic.
Teh poor guy probably just wanted to watch those movies at his local festival so it’s relatable!
