It’s really funny to take Spanish with people from different Spanish-speaking countries, because the ones from South American countries are like “Yeah no one uses vosotros, we don’t know what it’s doing here” and the ones from Europe are like “If you don’t give our beloved second-person plural its due respect, the Hounds will find you”
wanna underline that it was Billy Zane doing the looking out for his co-star. James Cameron very famously directed Kate Winslet in a way that left her covered in bruises and gave her double pneumonia.
and good for him. he was a pretty big star at the time, Kate was almost an unknown, and James Cameron was, yanno, himself. so for Billy to stick up for her and respect her like that was very based and sexy.
I also want to point out his mention of the consultation with wardrobe.
When shitfuck actors and directors let their misogyny and racism convince them to do “improv” or “method” that inevitably is neither impov nor method but very much harmful to their coworkers, it’s not just other actors who get hurt.
Everyone working on that set ends up in the shit.
He showed basic human dignity to his costar, as well as the people on wardrobe, the people handling props, the people behind the cameras that the glasses were flying towards.
Film is a collaboration, and the vast majority of the people who make the magic happen will never be seen, heard or known.
So it’s really fucking spectacular to see Mr Zane acknowledge the humanity of his coworkers and the collaborative nature of the art they made together.
I know everybodys talking about the article but its this tweet itself that makes me lose my shit

Sorry I had to reblog this again because I found the article and I don’t think I’ve ever read something that screams “I grew up in the most privileged liberal cities in America” as this

What is or isn’t a slur can be highly contextual, y'all.
“Jonny Sims bummed a fag off my ma” doesn’t contain a slur, but “What are you, some kind of fag?” does.
“Queer studies”, “the queer community” and “I’m queer”? Not a slur. Some bigot calling you a “dirty queer”? Slur.
“Be gay, do crimes” and “He’s gay” ≠ slur, but “Ew, that’s so gay” = slur.
In conclusion, stop buying into this fucking “q slur” bullshit. Queer people talking about the queer community aren’t using it as a slur any more than a gay man calling himself gay is using that term as a slur.
Looks like its time for derogatory pepperoni again
That is actually hilarious, thank you for this addition
