Petty considering the seriousness of it but I am glad I could never much get into Good Omens.

I never read the book but I found the TV to be unbearably pleased with itself. The bits with Tennant and Sheen were fun but the rest I thought was rubbish. I feel bad because they are kids but the kids acting was painful to watch.

Imo the film of coraline is much better than the original book. The creative visuals enhance the story a lot and make it super creepy.

Studio Laika is one of the few places companies that makes full stop motion films. I hope that no one turns on them for what has happened.

He's soured his legacy and it's pretty hard to overlook that he's ruined his work going forward. Unfortunate for people involved in his books/productions but who wants to be involved in a rape scandal. It's pretty much the worst and at this stage he's trying to justify it. Hopefully those people can pivot to other authors or TV work.

Netflix have cancelled Sandman. They are spinning it like series 2 fully covers the rest of Dreams arc so no need for more. Series 1 covered most of the first arc of the comic, so they are either skipping a lot of material, not doing the full story or rushing.

Edit : I have seen comments on reddit speculating that they could just focus on the ' Brief Lives' and ' 'Kind Ones' arcs and that would be most of his story covered anyway. I think the ending of the story may have less impact since we have spent less time with the characters. We shall see i guess.

I bet audible are kicking themselves on not getting the full adaptation out already. They probably have a lot recorded and ready to go. Do they put it out anyway? Or scrap the whole thing?

Ah I was wondering why the podcast was different! Yes I've read the article now in full. My God. Surely some charges can be brought? Scarlett's bravery going to the police was incredible.

Shame that so many people will lose work because of his actions. I suppose there is no way that he wouldn’t profit off of it if the production did go ahead though, so probably no avoiding what’s happened.

No, I'm guessing not enough social cachet, and he didn't rate Amanda Palmer, either.

I thought if a man grabbed you or kissed you with force, or without checking it was OK with you first, it was romantic.

I am lucky that my encounters were all "checked" with a few words words or a meaningful look first. It is exciting to feel that a man is so full of desire he can barely contain himself. That's what all the romantic fiction and song lyrics and the joys of Spring are about. We were all silly teenagers once. Some men feel entitled to abuse that naivete and lurch and pounce on us, and it is rewarding to see this one get his comeuppance.

I didn't say you did. Why would you think I'm referring to you? I agreed with you as these are my own musings.

Good point - it's understandable to some extent if he launches himself at you when he's 18. Not so when he's 38!

I'm too lazy to look but did he have any Epstein connection or was he always relying on Amanda hooking him up with fangirls/nanny/helpers etc? He seems the type to have entered the JE orbit.
