Favorite hack director that is also a pedophile

I hadnt heard of it.
I dont understand how anyone could ever think that that comment was appropriate, either. But hey ho.
The content acceptable on Howard Stern is exactly why I actively avoided listening to the show, being a young Christian at the time.
But also millions of Gen Z kids aren't old enough to have heard it either.

It’s because Howard Stern made literally everything acceptable. Bullying, abuse, making fun of mentally challenged people… literally everything was fodder and idiots ate it up.
Which is why I hadn’t heard of this either. Everything about Howard Stern has been absolutely repulsive since 1985.

I just commented something really similar! I wasn’t even a young Christian, Howard Stern and his shock jock contemporaries (like Mancow Muller) were gross for anyone with a brain.

Yo it's news to me, that fucking sucks dude. 13 year old party girls??? That's absolutely vile
He was a 40-year-old man when he said it, too. Just to put it into perspective

Apologists in this thread ignoring the IDF bit
I was wondering if anyone was going to mention this! People are arguing “he said it in 2003!” (When he was 40, by the way) and totally ignoring the last part.

For anyone interested in movies by Polanski, Tarantino, or Woody Allen. It is OK to like their work. They are indeed masters of their craft. You can source that bounty in the high seas and not benefit the problematic movie makers in any way.

Sorry, I wasn't insisting that you knew about it. Enough time has passed that many haven't heard of it because no one's talking about it anymore. It was well-reported at the time though. An important reason it isn't talked about anymore is that it was resolved a long time ago too.

Why is this getting passed around now? Tarantino made those comments on a radio show in 2003. He apologized to Geimer for making them nearly a decade ago and she accepted his apology.
“I want to publicly apologize to Samantha Geimer for my cavalier remarks on the Howard Stern Show speculating about her and the crime that was committed against her,” he wrote. “Fifteen years later, I realize how wrong I was. Ms Geimer WAS raped by Roman Polanski. When Howard brought up Polanski, I incorrectly played devil’s advocate in the debate for the sake of being provocative. I didn’t take Ms Geimer’s feelings into consideration and for that I am truly sorry. So, Ms Geimer, I was ignorant, and insensitive, and above all, incorrect.”
Thank you for this.

hack director
I'm not a huge fan of his, but he's certainly no "hack director." Huge on style and violence, sure, but movies like Django Unchained for example were riveting and even educational IMO.
The opening scene to Inglorious Basterds (farm scene), is masterful. Yes, the acting is exceptional but it is the writing, the directing and Tarantino's stubbornness to not even make the film unless he had the actor that could deliver the scene exactly as he imagined it, that makes it masterful. One of the most chilling and suspensful scenes ever put to film.
Tarantino is still a genocide apologist and a complete dick though. These two facts are not.mutually exclusive.

"News"...
The interview happened in 2003.
And he apologized for it several years later.

Sir, this is the fediverse and singing kumbaya while holding hands in a circle is mandatory.
You've missed out on your two last session, which explains your attitude. A Hugmobile has been dispatched to your location.
Do not resist the people in the teddybear suits. They're there to help you.
Ngl, that sounds fucking banging.

Thank you for providing the much-needed context. It’s reassuring to see someone grow, learn, and criticize their past self.

Yeah, most people on lemmy love being outraged. And when they run out of outrage inducing material, they regurgitate old shit because they have the attention spans of goldfish.
