I think there is room for some big budget action movies like the mummy again. Just a fun action movie, where there is no moral to the story, or social commentary. You arent trying to make a serious, oscar winning film. Just a fun time at the movie theaters....but still made well, hah

All this reference to him being sexually assaulted made me google it.

An ass grab qualifies as a sexual assault?? Glad this happened to a dude so I feel more comfortable minimizing it and saying just move on with your life and stop taking the focus away from legitimate sexual assaults.

? Glad this happened to a dude so I feel more comfortable minimizing it and saying just move on with your life and stop taking the focus away from legitimate sexual assaults.
Yes, especially with the power dynamics involved.

I'll tell you what. Do you have a secretary at the office? Go grab her ass and wait to find out if it qualifies or not. Report back your findings.

I should have specified for a man. Where is the line? Is a joking buddy ass slap sexual assault. Is it about the intent or the type of grope?

Go grab the ass of a man at work and report back. Especially if you have control over his future employment.

By the way, Brendan is gonna skip the Golden Globes, even though he's likely a frontrunner to win, because the guy who groped him is part of the HFPA. (And faced no consequences, btw.)

Sticking to your morals. Good for him.

I do get where you were going with it, by the way. I don't think you are crazy - felt like I was watching Bill Burr when I read your post - where's the line?

I'll take it one further. BCG: imagine someone higher up than you did the exact same to you at the office. (Grabbed your ass and tickled your taint.)

I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume you'd be pretty uncomfortable with it.

By the way, I'm clearly a chauvinist.

Is it sexual assault if a manager grabs the ass of your 19 year old daughter? Or should she just move on and get over it?

I mean, since it is no big deal to be groped unwillingly

It's a question of degree. Is it as serious as penetrative rape? No, almost certainly not. Is it an unwanted invasion of one's self? Unquestionably, and that can be traumatic in its own right.

'His left hand reaches around, grabs my ass cheek, and one of his fingers touches me in the taint. And he starts moving it around,' Fraser said recalling 2003 incident.

id say the line is somewhere between ass slap and this ^

The Whale just set the screen average record for 2022.

Quote:

The film, starring Brendan Fraser as an obese recluse who attempts to reconnect with his daughter, grossed $360,000 from just six theaters translating to $60,000 per screen. Those ticket sales stand as the highest per-theater average of 2022, as well as the second-largest for a limited release since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Other top-screen averages of the year belong to A24's "Everything Everywhere All at Once ($50,000) and Searchlight's "The Banshees of Inisherin" ($46,000).


Great news as I'd really like to see this in theaters. Also solidifies Fraser as the odds on favorite to win the Oscar, imo.

Brendan Fraser comeback is truly John Travolta or Robert Downy Jr. -like in proportion.

Hard to not be happy for a guy like Brendan. I've heard him say in interviews his body is pretty beaten up, so I dont know that we will get any Mummy like movies from in the future, but I hope this means we get to see him in some more good roles going forward.

Just got back from seeing The Whale and damn, that was one of the most thought provoking movies I have seen in years. Fraser was magnificent. I will be thinking about whether his character was redeemed or hopelessly selfish, for the longest time.

Deserves the Academy Award, imo.

I saw his panel at Boston Fan Expo a few years ago. Came across as a super nice guy and very genuine. Happy for him that he won.

anyone else noticing his voice is not right in many of his clips?

the first few times I thought it was emotion, but I just heard him speak normally and his voice is quite different than it was before- it cracks all the time.

I feel like he's always had a "boy going through puberty might crack at anytime" type voice.
