Is this like pussy grabbing or pulling out your dick? Or just anonymous complaints?

Im not surprised.

Years ago back in...Must have been between 2007/09. I was studying Media at College and we got told on a day that Noel was going to come in to talk with us, give us advice, a lecture of sorts basically because he was filming nearby in the Park area which is basically 5 minutes away from where our College was. The guy never showed up or gave a heads up he wouldn't turn up. Couldn't be asked or take into consideration to come in for a few quick minutes and educate us.

Since then I've always felt he comes across as a egotiscal jackass who thinks he's all that. Its a shame because I loved Mickey in Doctor Who but the Actor behind that character was clearly not a decent bloke. Plus all the sex and shit he had in his Trilogy of films. I don't know man. It always felt weird how that came across, not to mention the sudden focus on his character in the next two films after the first one. Like the guy was hyping himself up. Like I said, ego.

regarding the sex in his films i noticed in The Anomaly (2014) that he also wrote and directed there was a very gratuitous/graphic violent sex scene with himself and the lead actress.. (wonder if the actress involved is one of the women who have come forward?)

More allegations, regarding his time on Dr Who

Over 30 women now? This is starting to feel like a snowball rolling downhill.

[–] bozo_500 (13119) 4 years ago

the article states they are 'new accusers'

[–] DoctorThirteen (13995) 4 years ago

Just waiting to hear that his agents/reps have cut him loose...

[–] bozo_500 (13119) 4 years ago

Interesting read. I like Solomons' film reviews on the BBC.

As for

How did BAFTA [...] become so fixated on rewarding a diversity of talent that it failed to scrutinise the human individuals in question?

I kinda feel the answer's in the question.

[–] DoctorThirteen (13995) 4 years ago

Seems to have gone quiet. I wonder where he is.

[–] bozo_500 (13119) 4 years ago

Yeah was expecting more to come out a'la Harvey but now all quiet.. Wherever he is he must be absolutely broken (and furious)

[–] Martoto (5036) 4 years ago

Furious he's been exposed?

[–] bozo_500 (13119) 4 years ago

furious that everything hes worked for has been destroyed

[–] Martoto (5036) 4 years ago

By his actions.

[–] Otter (24464) 3 years ago

Oh, he won't see it that way, he'll think of himself as being persecuted by those evil, evil, women.

But none of this is anyone's fault but his own.

[–] DarkHorse (297) 4 years ago

But he provides the diversity that enriches us! lol
