Confirmation.
The Clarance Thomas/Anita Hill controversy. WOW. This film had a massive impact on me. (And hubby, I can see why he doesn't think Trump is a total dickhead! Scary!)
I have never heard of either, but gees, it's a hell of a story. Really well made movie. And yes, I believe her, I've done some back up reading too, and personal experience also backs her up. I think most women my vintage would have had some experience of inappropriate remarks aimed in their direction. I guess it depends on your idea of what that is too. And being an only female in a male dominated field probably did two things: exposed me to more of it, and also, made me less sensitive to it.
As I smash head on into menopause, and the grumpiness that makes me less tolerant of being treated as a second class citizen by a few vintage males I know, I'm realising how much crap I have taken in the past that I should have spoken up about, and said, 'no, that's not acceptable". And now that I'm doing that apparently I'm 'not in a pleasant mood today" (hubby's oncologist!) or suffering PMT, or apparently, I'm a man hater! This one was hubbies view on Anita Hill! And I gave him what for!
It's a movie that I will recommend to every woman I know! If only for the dignified way Anita handles herself in the movie. Of course I didn't watch the real footage, but research suggests she really is that dignified. One thing I do know, is that bringing sexual harassment out of the cupboard can only be a good thing. I have a couple of stories as an apprentice that could curl toes, given the comments were thrown at a 17 year old. I'd recommend this movie to everyone.

I watched Superman vs Batman tonight.
First couple of times I tried I couldn't focus, tonight I was in the right mood and was able to enjoy it. It has faults, but I can see it now as a platform movie and it was actually good. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Yep, sequels and spin offs.
This was the platform for the Justice League movie, introducing Wonder Woman, a glimpse of Flash and Aquaman, the dream sequence with Darkseid's Omega symbol in the ground and the flying demons.
DC have a whole universe planned, this movie was the platform. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

That's what the editor thought for the theatrical release and it made no sense. The extended Blu Ray edition is a much more coherent film. |
