rogueslayer452++ Euphoria came out with a teaser trailer for its second season, which will premiere January 9th. Finally, finally, getting the new season after it being delayed since the pandemic happened. I know that they filmed special episodes that were shown last year (and the beginning of this year), which I appreciated the efforts for what they were able to do, but I'm even more excited to have the continuation of the story that was being told.
++ Meatbun Doesn't Eat Meat, the author of 2ha (a.k.a. The Husky And His White Cat Shizun), has revealed that an official English translation of her book is in the works. At first I kind of wanted to wait until the negotiations have been completed and we got an official confirmation, but I have to admit that I'm excited about this happening. I've been curious about 2ha for some time now, and who knows when the live-action adaptation will eventually come out of being in limbo, so I'm looking forward to getting to have an official English translated copy in my hands.
++ In some more serious news, I just recently learned that Eliza Dushku testified to a congressional committee in regards to being silenced from speaking out against sexual harassment in the workplace, and how she was fired for calling out this harassment. Her entire testimony is available to watch, which I highly recommend because she goes into further detail of what happened, and it's definitely worse than what was initially revealed at the time. Thankfully, the committee voted in favor of abolishing the forced arbitration clause which she, and many others, were testifying against, and it's onto the next step forward into hopefully making that happen, which is good, it's progress at least. Regardless though, what happened to her is horrifying and disgusting. I also learned that Eliza stopped acting entirely after this incident, which is understandable but it's just so sad and unfair that she suffered through something so traumatic that when she tried to fight against it in the most professional way possible she was fired and treated like she was in the wrong, while her harasser is still employed with no repercussions whatsoever to his behavior.

Date: 2021-12-06 05:05 am (UTC)It's just so horrific the way he behaves, really. The way he was with Jessica Alba, and recently with Eliza, and god knows any other actress who's worked with him who has suffered through his bullshit. The fact that he is still employed despite these things (and there's video evidence of his harassment of Eliza) is unjust. I know that this is unfortunately very common, not just within the entertainment industry but the workplace in general, but still. :/

Date: 2021-12-06 03:57 pm (UTC)I get that other people work on the show but A) this is the fault of the network for allowing that kind of harassment to happen on set. B.) This is the main actor's fault for being a giant creep. C.) It sounds like the crew was also getting in on the harassing and it's not like Eliza's story has a moment where anyone else on that set stands up and tells people that what they're saying is not okay so lesson to all - shut it down.
Honestly it makes me full of rage to know these things are common in so many jobs. I'm thankful that at my work if someone said something like that to me I think they'd at least be disciplined but then again we did have a more senior guy say something in passing recently and while he had to apologize I got the sense (as the victim read me the apology) that he didn't get what he'd actually done wrong. WTF is wrong with men?!
