Considering David O Russell's infamous history of bullying his people on sets and being abusive (I Heart Huckabees videos), I think the man should take care of his mess before attacking a man like MJ who has better manners than him. #MichaelJackson#MJ2021
I know George Clooney hated working with O Russell and even got into a fight with him during the filming of Three Kings. Even people like Robin Williams pulled vile jokes on MJ, and regarding Williams, Jermaine Jackson met him at a premiere & berated him.
Though I know there are people like Prince who were friends with MJ and did friendly pranks on him, there were others who just exploited bashing culture on Michael Jackson because it was what sold cash. Very rotten way to make a living.
I even saw a sitcom doing a mean joke toward MJ and Macaulay Culkin. Very rotten joke. As for Robin Williams, he said in his later years that he regretted his jokes and said he did them because it was the trend that sold. But it was too late.
I always noticed that those who attacked Michael Jackson with mean insults & jokes always had something to hide in their closet. Personal problems, family issues, histories of violence & abuse on others. They transposed on him their neurosis & perversions
The way Michael Jackson was persistently treated and mocked in the medias is one of the reasons why I always had more sympathy to him, and also how I knew what the press was saying about him was lies & evil BS. But also why I don't like mainstream medias
Precisely my philosophy. By interacting with people with different opinions can we learn things that we need to improve or maintain. & it helps shatter this horrible manichean perspective that one side is good & the other is evil, which people in politics tend to use too much.
Too many times, I see people on both sides interacting with others as if they are evil and mean when they are all the same. All wanting for an equal society. Yet sometimes some people in politics and on Twitter tend to treat politics like children. To put people in camps. 2/
I truly feel politics, and especially in America, will really improve when we will stop treating the left as the good guys and the right as the evil. For both sides are capable of good ideas and bad ideas as well. 3/
Les Contes de La rue Broca. Fascinating tv series adapting Pierre Gripari’s novel of the same name. A series of fairy tales set in different time periods. All told by the author himself to his 3 friends: the grocery store owner Papa Saïd and his kids Nadia and Bashir
In the witch of the broom closet fairy tale, Pierre recounts to his 3 friends how he bought a house for 5 francs when he was a kid. A villa set in Paris. A cosy location though with a strange history as he found out. Indeed, the place is cursed by the witch of the broom closet.
As Pierre learns from the seller, anybody who says in the 🏠 the phrase “Witch, Witch Witch, beware your big fat butt.” shall anger the witch who shall devour its teller. At first, Pierre says the phrase 😂 outside the 🏠 . Until one day he says it in the house by accident.😨
In the DVD Les Trésors Cachés de Michel Ocelot, the director speaks of his first animated series project.
The TV series Gedeon. About a Duckling with a super long neck. Who befriends animals around the farm and the countryside and lives many adventures with them. Some dangerous.
Based on a book series by Benjamin Rabier, the series Gedeon was produced and launched by Yves Rousset-Rouard, who produced the movie Emanuelle, a successful erotic French movie that made so much money he decided to make an animation studio.
As explained by Michel Ocelot, the work conditions were some of the best the director ever witnessed. However, the climate turned sour after someone badly advised the animators that they were mistreated by the producer.
Though it is despicable a certain WB cartoon attacked Johnny Depp, remember the world supports him, that people are signing petitions in masses, complaining to WB & its people on social medias, by mail, and letters, and that WB's folks are afraid of that. #JusticeForJohnnyDepp
Remember that today, Johnny has been rewarded by a big European Festival 4 his work. That the documentary Crock of Gold which he produced is getting superb reviews and great word of mouth from the public, that on Instagram 8.5 million fans are on his page. #JusticeForJohnnyDepp
Remember that the Dior Perfume Sauvage is getting sold out online and in stores, with the face of Johnny Depp being promoted everywhere. So remember that the world stands by him and hates Turd. #JusticeForJohnnyDepp
Corpse Bride.
Tim Burton film co-directed by Mike Johnson. A wonderful stop motion movie starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter during the making of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory.
In a far away country, groom Victor and bride Victoria are meant to be married under parental indications. Though they get along well on their first meet, Victor has trouble struggling with his vows.
While reciting his vows in the woods he accidentally gets married to a corpse bride. Who carries him down to the world of the dead. A situation that Victor tries to escape from, though he ends developing affections for the defunct bride as well. Causing a triangle situation.
Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. Excellent adaptation of Roald Dahl’s book from Tim Burton. Starring Johnny Depp and Freddie Highmore. Filmed and Produced in London alongside the stop motion film Corpse Bride. #JohnnyDepp
Through a very faithful plot line that respects the dark humour of Roald Dahl and uses his exact songs, all sang by Danny Elfman himself, the film gives another take to the magic and poetry of Roald Dahl’s classic. An adaptation that the Dahl Estate adored.
Note also how in the film, we have the first entry of the first Chocolate room as a minuscule doorway. That moment made me think of Alice in Wonderland and knowing that Tim would work on that film project in 2009, I find it a wonderful irony and premonition.
