Movie
Critic Gets into some Big Trouble
I
was going to write about this Trump (grab them) incident, but instead
something more crazy came up on my side of the world with a movie
blogger. Devin Faraci, former editor in chief of Birth.Movies.Death,
made some tweets about the famous Trump Tapes on Twitter.
((The
most telling thing about the Trump tape? He wasn't talking with his
best friends. He was boasting to a TV host. ))
Then
a female Twitter person replied with, (( @spacecrone,
“quick question: do you remember grabbing me by the p—y and
bragging to our friends about it, telling them to smell your
fingers?”
))
Damn.
And,
then he made this damning statement in this reply. (( “I
can only believe you and beg forgiveness for having been so vile.”
))
Either
he's done this to so many women that he can't even remember it or he
was so drunk that he can't remember. However, a statement like this
puts a nail in your coffin. It just feels like he probably has done
this in the past.
So,
now he's lost his job as editor of his website. From
Variety, ((In
a message to friends and readers, Faraci wrote, “This weekend
allegations were made about my past behavior. Because I take these
types of claims seriously I feel my only honorable course of action
is to step down from my position as Editor-in-Chief of
Birth.Movies.Death. I will use the coming weeks and months to work on
becoming a better person who is, I hope, worthy of the trust and
loyalty of my friends and readers.” ))
Devin
has always been a controversial figure. (Star Wars, Ghostbusters,
Gamergate). It does not come as a shock that he has been accused of
this thing. I wasn't a fan of his before this story broke, but I
defended him when his co-host attacked GoodFellas on his podcast.
However, I always viewed him as one of those pretentious reviewers
that tried to add things to movies that weren't there. And, he
condemned people for being on the wrong side of issues.
Make
sure to read the other Tweets
by the female tweeter.
