[quote=Anonymous]OK, I’ve spent way too much time on this.

Say Justin is a terrible person and created a terrible environment onset. In that case it makes Blake look bad. She has power in Hollywood and she is essentially distancing herself from this guy, but completely okay with not speaking up and doing anything formal. She says she’s a girls girl, but I guess it’s fine if he goes and acts hostile on other sets?

She seems to want to separate herself from him, but not want him to take any accountability besides just being a mean girl to him. If he did something so bad he should not be working in Hollywood they should have fired him.

Someone has confidence in Justin because he has been given a lot of leeway and funding to promote the film and it seems to be working. They are clearly doing two separate promotional angles, and they are funding Justin and his family flying all over the world hosting premiers on his own, hosting panels on intimate partner violence. It seems to be working as fans are responding to that side of it.

So it leads me to believe he didn’t do something so egregious but maybe he’s just a jerk. Maybe it was a lot of pressure to directed act and maybe that showed onset. Fine, the cast unfollowed him and our distancing himself from him.

That doesn’t explain how unprofessional they are being. Jenny slate’s interview is getting a lot of attention because she was asked how he was in the dual role as director and actor. Instead of saying anything about him, she turned it on herself and started talking about how she would not want to do two jobs. Whether or not you like him, he is in part responsible for the success of this film. He played a lead role in a way fans are loving and his direction contributed to the films success. If she wanted to be diplomatic, she could have said something like he really took a lot of creative input from people on the set, and he played the character in the way fans are responding to, or something like that. There’s a way to answer the question for good of the film without complimenting him, but also without drawing attention to the fact that you think he’s terrible which distracts from the movie.

She seems to not want to talk about him at all and it seems like she wants to hitch herself firmly to Blake and Ryan’s wagon. I don’t blame her but it does make me lose respect for her. Also makes me think that Blake and team are creating some sort of very polarizing environment where people have to choose which seems unprofessional and icky.

I guess at the end of the day, if someone is a jerk it doesn’t mean you have to turn around and be a jerk. Isn’t that what we teach our kids, you can’t control other people, but you can control how you act? I just don’t see how justin being a jerk means that other actors and Colleen have to act so unprofessionally and bully like. This weird silent treatment like he is not the director or lead actor seems sociopathic to me.

And what is interesting to me is Justin is being totally professional and gushing about the cast. Maybe it is the expensive crisis management that he hired, but it’s working. I came to this whole thing not knowing who Justin was and being big fans of Jenny and Blake and Ryan. I don’t know how I feel about Justin, but I definitely am feeling icky about Blake and  Ryan and Jenny. [/quote]
