God almighty. Never fails. It doesn't matter which version I watch (original animated film, live action reboot, Broadway performance) -- once the first note sounds in "Circle of Life" ('The Lion King'), the waterworks turn on, and the spigot's stuck. Bawling like a baby, that's me.

When I first saw the animated film in the theater ages ago, I started crying even *before* I knew what the story was about. I guess it's even worse now that I know Simba's prodigal son journey.

"In the documentary, multiple women recount how IBLP [the deeply conservative religious organization, the Institute in Basic Life Principles] teachings had made them more susceptible to abuse: as girls, they were taught that it was their job to always obey men, and they were denied the sex education necessary to communicate, or even fully grasp, when bad things happened to them."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2023/06/02/duggar-family-documentary/

#Disturbing #Entertainment #Religion #Abuse #TV #Documentary

Text from article:
Lists are already appearing online of the documentary’s most shocking takeaways: The Duggar children were never paid for their participation in the series; dad Jim Bob guarded the purse strings even while at least one of the older kids was forced to go on food stamps, daughter Jill Duggar tells the camera. She also says that she was made to sign contracts without knowing what they were, and to reluctantly film her labor and delivery because viewership spiked during wedding or baby episodes.

After watching all four parts of the series, here’s a tiny little nugget I can’t stop thinking about: in the culture of IBLP — a uniquely American spin on Christianity where the logo is a bald eagle landing on a Bible — boys in families are discouraged from changing their baby sisters’ diapers.

The thinking, as explained by the former IBLP adherent who mentions the rule, was that exposure to female genitalia, even those belonging to an infant, would be too much temptation for a pubescent male.
Text from article:
Hoo boy.

It’s hard to imagine what kind of sad brain would even come up with such logic — or maybe it isn’t, because the documentary also notes that more than 30 women accused former IBLP head honcho Bill Gothard of harassment before he was ousted from his post.

It’s not hard to imagine the damage that such a teaching would inflict on the parishioners who internalized it — the parishioners who were taught that girls and women are temptresses, that boys and men are deviant at heart, and that the way to handle discussions about sex and bodies is to never, ever have them.

Perhaps you remember the Megyn Kelly interview that Jim Bob and Michelle sat through in an apparent effort to save their reputation after allegations of Josh’s sexual abuse came to light. A saucer-eyed Michelle told Kelly that the family had enacted “safeguards” to make sure nothing like that ever happened again.

"The children are grumpy"

I finally saw 'The French Dispatch' and enjoyed it -- not as much as I enjoyed (actually, loved) 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'*, though, but it has its moments. The first and especially third segments were my favorites, and I've got to admit I was disappointed with the middle (youth movement).

I was actually really looking forward to that part as I'd like to have seen a Wes Anderson treatment of a student uprising, but it came out surprisingly pedestrian IMHO. The slogan was actually the best part.

The third segment gave me the touch of pathos I was hoping for, but it was gone too soon. At any rate, great cast and a fun film to lose myself in for a time, but overall rather uneven.

* I loved 'The Grand Budapest' so much I bought the movie (if you want unexpected pathos in a funny and chaotic story, you'll get it in spades with this film)

Dave Matthews talks to GQ about growing up in South Africa, hope, and mortality. "Experiencing what I had — I was like, I gotta figure out another way to say something that I believe, that has hope at the end of it,” he says. “And I still feel like that. I can’t get rid of hope. Which I’m sure makes at least half the people who hear my music go, Ugh — this guy’s a f***ing sugar-sweet nightmare.”

Mexican actors Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna are lifelong friends. Here, Luna discusses "Andor," and they reflect on their parallel careers. "I have a good friend who shares the sort of journey, an experience of what comes with this great chance to be able to do what you want, but at the same time, has a lot of solitude and a lot of loneliness and reinvention," García Bernal says. "We feel less alone together."

Hollywood writers are fired up as they begin their first walkout since the 100-day WGA strike in 2007. “The studios truly don’t understand how their efforts to kneecap the writing profession have radicalized WGA Members,” "Murderville" writer Krister Johnson tweeted. “Do they think we’re afraid of a prolonged strike? That we’ll be begging to return to devalued and underpaid work? We’re not scared anymore. Bring it on.”

Here's what to know.

40 years ago, a slew of sequels was released. Movies like "Superman III," "Staying Alive" and "Jaws 3-D" were torn apart by critics and largely rejected by audiences. AV Club's Robert DeSalvo takes a look at why summer 1983 was "the summer of bummers," and the lessons modern filmmakers can learn.
