Gross talk about one of Lily's scenes, and oh hey check out how they're talking about how Lively's concerns were just about getting control of the movie and not about portrayal of underage stuff as *she* said, but okay.

I wonder what the "But with more in it" means at the end. I think this means JB's version had more sox etc in it but could be wrong.

I find it super weird they'd be that invested in whether or not a "thrust" happens on screen. I think they are vastly overrating how much women (the target audience) would want to see that in a movie like this. I just can't imagine fighting over that.

Yes! I agree with that. I think that's distasteful.

Also, when these text exchanges appeared in Baldoni's complaint, BALDONI was the author of the ones complaining about Lively and how she'd have ultimate control over the Lily scenes etc. The way he is talking about her complaints all being fiction and everything being a power move to take over the film, to his entire editing team, seems overtly retaliatory to me, but ymmv.

Lmao I'm super naive and thought the "thrust" was, like, a technical directing term. I get it now.

Smart for Baldoni to keep silent. Didn't even notice he was on it until PP pointed it out.

Oh please, it's called having an opinion about someone who was trying to take over the film. Anyone who has seen a clip of Blake interacting with other actors has seen her in this mode.

I feel bad for Baldoni. You can find suspicious intent in any movie involving sex scenes. That's because they're sex scenes. Once again, Blake stans keep treating this as if it's a white-collar office job and any mention about the choreographing of sex is "Ew, icky!"

How many millions have Blake and Ryan blown on this hoax? Over/under $15 million so far?

Yes, exactly. We once find ourselves among the morality police. Meanwhile, Blake is giving her one year a boob cake and talking about it on tv, and you know, using her teeth.

Blake has no stans. It's all paid bots, in contrast to the masses being organically on Jason's side.

Welp Baldoni's attys did everything they could to intimidate Lively from appearing at her deposition. Threatened to sell tickets, insisted on having it at offices of fake puncher Freedman and/or his co-counsel until judge told them nope, and had accused harasser Justin Baldoni show up in person to sit at the table apparently. And yet, Lively showed and was deposed. Sad for you.

Was Freedman even there, I wonder? Did Gottlieb ultimately get his way that Freedman wouldn't depose Lively even though everyone laughed at him at the time? It's tricky to try to take depositions in a case when in a few weeks you might be sitting for a deposition yourself. Poor Bryan.

lol you're right, my bad.

Hey, Gottlieb managed to file an amended complaint on time, and people who stayed up waiting for it didn't go to bed all sad, and nobody sent a google doc to popcorn planet guy talking vaguely about other strategies, and presumably Wallace is questioning Lively *right now* haha.

This is crazy. I thought amended complaints were supposed to be promised to the judge, and then promised to the press, and then never filed?!?! What on earth happened and who has blown this? I will never attend this establishment again!

It's a movie about domestic violence. I wouldn't find that conversation about the "thrust" out of place among the creators of a movie like American Pie, or a show like Bridgerton. I find it weird that *this* would be the main point of contention on a movie about DV, where most people involved with the movie agree it's about the empowerment of the female protagonist in surviving and escaping DV. My first thought there is not "but wait, do we zoom in on the thrust in the teen sex scene or not???" Just a bizarre fixation there.

Young Lily is having sex with the man she ends up with/her true love interest. You’re acting like it’s the love scene between her and her abuser. The only thing bizarre is your fixation with their discussion about how they want the scene to look.

NO but I don’t find it that bizarre. They’re spending a lot of money on this movie and they wanted it to make money and be commercially successful. It’s just part of the game. You’re spending months shooting and editing a two hour film so it doesn’t surprise me that the actual editors and related team are slicing and dicing small parts of it. There is a mention about PG-13 so it’s also just practical conversation, if they do a sex scene, it’s got to fall within certain parameters.

TV and film are filled, absolutely filled, with pointless sex scenes. It’s not my taste and I didn’t go into this business but I think silly to pick apart conversations that are typical on this movie.

It’s a movie about domestic violence and blah blah blah, but notice that they didn’t pick an actress who was not thin, fit, traditionally pretty, and I can go on. Justin Baldoni played a neurosurgeon, but come on, they didn’t say let’s pick someone who looks incredibly smart and like he did really well in medical school. They picked a good looking guy. And technically they didn’t have to do any sex scenes, as most movies don’t and could still be able to move the story along, but they made a choice to have a teen sex scene, and other sex scenes, with attractive people, as countless other movies and shows do. This is still Hollywood people.

I'm also finding it disingenuous that Blake supporters are acting like Justin filmed two teens taking part in a sex scene, when it's their characters who did, while the actors are in their 20s.
