Art you like by artists you don't like

Why not climb that fucker all the way to the top, King Kong style, instead of just a few seconds? Wind?

Fucking fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck. Literally one of my all-time favorites. Not sure how I missed this until now other than I don’t obsessively follow the lives of authors, creators, directors, etc.

My sentiments exactly

Holy hell this Neil Gaiman stuff is so much worse than anyone ever imagined.

I’m having serious trouble with this one. It’s the first where one of my legitimate favorites has turned out to be truly irredeemable. I’m kind of sick over it.

Uh, that article actually needs a trigger warning. It’s rough. Really rough.

Yeah. I… Might not watch season 2 of Sandman when it drops. Love his work to death, but this is very tough.

Pretty sure Netflix already killed that show, so you no longer need to be conflicted

No, season 2 will air. There won’t be any further seasons though.

Yeah, I just saw that. Netflix should have pulled it. They have a good track record of working with some bad people.

Season 2 was already in the can, as far as I know. Whether there had been more seasons planned is unclear. The writers (I think Gaiman had already stepped back from season 2 as it was, don’t think he’s even the showrunner anymore) released a statement that seems to imply they only planned two seasons.

That’s the entire premise of this thread, though, isn’t it, whether to separate art from artist. Though I consider TV adaptations to be less about the original author than about the directors and actors and designers doing the adapting.

I will probably watch because I really love the cast and to see what the writers chose to do with the remaining Morpheus material (probably just Season of Mists, Brief Lives, and The Kindly Ones, maybe Midsummer Night’s Dream as a one-off)

Ugh, this hurts my high school heart.

Yeah it’s a real pity they won’t get to play out the entire Morpheys arc :face_holding_back_tears:

Trying not to spoil, but I’m honestly not sure how they’re going to end it without the subtle setup from the other arcs that aren’t as Morpheus-centric.

Thoughts on potential Buffy revival? Would you watch even if Whedon isn’t involved?

Very skeptical. But I’ll watch it if reviews are ok.

Fantasty BookTuber and Author Daniel Greene accused of Sexual Assault, cheating, and cease and desisting allegations**

YouTuber Naomi King has come forward with receipt-backed allegations stating Daniel Greene sexually assaulted her in 2023, cheated on his now Fiancé, and threatened Naomi with aggressive cease-and-desists after making a nonspecific video where he was not even mentioned.

It breaks my heart that this happened to her and possibly others. I didn’t think I’d ever see this happen especially after his coverage of the Neil Gaiman situation. Her video is a hard watch, but here it is:

Idk who either of these people are :eyes:

Yikes!

New Pornographers same as the old pornographers imo.

Thoughts?

[Kevin Spacey’s] been through a few [trials]. Civil and criminal, and has been found not guilty in all. I.e, maintained his innocence.

I am not here to say that Kevin Spacey is an angel or that he has never been creepy to anyone ever. I simply don’t know that. I am only here to say that comparing the guy to the most notorious fucking sex trafficker in recent history despite Spacey not being found liable ANYWHERE is just insane and wrong.

Everyone can have their opinions about the guy while acknowledging factual record and not making insane leaps by comparing to Epstein.
