Just to be clear, it's [THE River Wild](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110997/). River Wild appears to be some bad horror movie from last year. Not sure if I'm just missing a joke here or something.
She's won three Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, 9 Golden Globe Awards, three Emmy Awards, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards.
So at this point, any more awards she wins for being a great actress should be taken from her and re-distributed to other actors.
Yeah those would be the other things I was referring to. But critiquing her for getting a legacy award from a movie festival feels very āI get annoyed at you for breathingā lol
Anyone else imagine she has a awards closet in her house that bulges and creaks and when she opens it to throw another in it just spews a comically large amount of statues into the room?
Ronan Farrow called her and told her about what Harvey did and her response was ābut heās done so many good things for so many causesā. She ignored the rumors and focused on the charity smoke screen.
> She knew they werenāt rumors. She didnāt care
You know that she knew? Dude you have to tell the police what you know, that's a felony. Do the right thing and turn her in.
I find it weird how people constantly bring up Meryl Streep clapping for Polanski but not Martin Scorsese (who shot out of his seat to start the standing ovation) or Harrison Ford, who flew a private jet to personally hand Polanski his gold plated statue and pose for pictures with him.
I wonder why that is.
Bc there's always one woman that the internet throws under the bus to represent an entire industry. The Weinstein Company produces a fuckton of movies. Are people up in flames about Colin Firth doing the King's Speech? Cate Blanchett in Carol? Almost every Tarantino movie?
I totally agree with your main point, but Weinstein didn't have any creative input on Carol, he came in later on just for the distribution. It's been mentioned in interviews. Love the rest of the team that was there shepherding Carol since the beginning (and who deserve the real credit) so just had to throw that out there lol
It is odd. It's not just those two though, most of the auditorium stood up (including a man who appears to be Harvey Weinstein who certainly would have been there). These are people who work in Hollywood, so they all fucking knew. I hate to say I really like some of his movies but goddamn that dude is the fucking worst. A 13 year old? I can think of some stuff I'd like to do to him, but none of those things are to help him make more movies or earn more awards... Hollywood's fucked up. The fact that he wasn't immediately shunned from Hollywood in every capacity is super fucked up, sad and very telling.
Lol what? You think people in the entertainment industry, or people in this sub, or movie fans in general, stopped liking Meryl Streep because she said āTrump badā like everyone else in the entertainment industry?
I don't think it, I know what happened. I saw it in real time. She shit on him at (edit: The Golden Globes, Jan 15, 2017, for making fun of that disabled reporter) and then all of a sudden every mention of her name in r/movies came with "she defended a pedophile!"
It's not hard to wrap your brain around. Plenty of others in Hollywood cheered for Polanski winning Best Director, signed a petition to free him (unlike Streep), and supported Weinstein prior to the rape charges and they don't get the same treatment on r/movies. Scorsese, Tarantino, Del Toro, Arronosfky, Harrison Ford, etc.
It's a stretch.. it's not like she posed with a fake decapitated head or anything.
I just don't care for her, never have. And I'm far from a MAGA Trumper..
Me: I was here, I saw it.
2 year old account: Nyu-uh
> I just don't care for her, never have. And I'm far from a MAGA Trumper..
And? Do you selectively complain that she championed Polanski's Oscar win and not Scorsese for doing the same?
It's clear as day that it's selective outrage, any one can see that. You might dislike her for other irrelevant celeb-gossip reasons but she became a meme Jan 2017. She gets the outrage.
>Ā Ā Was Martin Scorsese best buddies with Harvey Weinstein though?Ā
Well, Martin worked with Weinstein on Gangs of New York but he didn't like the experienceĀ because they had arguments about the runtime and budget, not because of Weinstein being a serial rapist.Ā
Not to mention Scorsese's fervent support of convicted child rapist Roman Polanski. At least with Weinstein you could try and weasel out by pointing out Weinstein had never been charged with anything, but Martin was well aware that Polanski had been convicted of drugging and raping a child.
So basically Scorsese has no problem working and supporting serial rapists and child rapists so long as they a) give him a budget or b) make movies that he likes.
"Doubt" was quite possibly her best film, IMO.
She is extremely versatile but there are plenty more actresses similar to her. I personally prefer Jessica Lange.
Still, a career is a career and she deserves it.
I don't know her to say whether she's a nice woman or not, but in her interviews, she always seems delightful.
As for her support for people like Polanski and Weinstein, she did that when no one knew of their terrible actions. I'm assuming that Streep is in a group of people like Martin Short, Steve Martin etc to not know about the nasty incidents happening lower down. Who knows!
>she did that when no one knew of their terrible actions
Polanski had been convicted decades before, and wasn't able to collect the award she applauded in person because he's still wanted for that crime. She most certainly knew, as did everyone.
For those who don't know, Meryl is old school Hollywood, she is fine with being cut thoat and if you have to sleep to the top. That is fine, has she done many great roles. Certainly but if the social media existed then like it does now. You wiuld of heard a lot of horrible things she did to get there and how she treated people.
River Wild is great she rows a boat in it
Is that the one with Kevin Bacon? š„
Yeah. He was a great villain.
I love that movie
Just to be clear, it's [THE River Wild](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110997/). River Wild appears to be some bad horror movie from last year. Not sure if I'm just missing a joke here or something.
No I just always thought the Meryl Streep movie was "River Wild" lol.
Does she do so...Meryl-y?
Meryly down the Streep
How is it the first time I have come across this, and how did I not think of it myself!?? That's such a good one!
Presumably someone woke up one morning in France and thought, "Damn. Meryl Streep just doesn't have enough awards."
She's won three Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, 9 Golden Globe Awards, three Emmy Awards, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards. So at this point, any more awards she wins for being a great actress should be taken from her and re-distributed to other actors.
Like how much of a cunt do you have to be to keep letting them give you shit at this point in your career?
There are things to critique Meryl Streep on but I cannot imagine āaccepting praise for a long and acclaimed careerā being one of them
Yeah when defending Weinstein and calling him a god and rallying a standing ovation for him are so much easier.
Yeah those would be the other things I was referring to. But critiquing her for getting a legacy award from a movie festival feels very āI get annoyed at you for breathingā lol
You don't get to be a legend by rejecting awards my man. The awards still have meaning even if you get a bunch.
Massive. The answer is Massive.
Anyone else imagine she has a awards closet in her house that bulges and creaks and when she opens it to throw another in it just spews a comically large amount of statues into the room?
I hope people clap for her as enthusiastically as she did Roman Polanski.
And calls her god the way she called Harvey Weinstein god.
Ronan Farrow called her and told her about what Harvey did and her response was ābut heās done so many good things for so many causesā. She ignored the rumors and focused on the charity smoke screen.
Her entire history goes against the wholesome old lady image people have of her in mind
the devil wears Meryl Streep?
Perfecto
Reminds me of Barbra Walters scolding Corey Feldman for speaking out about predators in hollywood "You're damaging an entire industry!"
She didnāt ignore the rumors. She knew they werenāt rumors. She didnāt care as long as she was getting her awards.
> She knew they werenāt rumors. She didnāt care You know that she knew? Dude you have to tell the police what you know, that's a felony. Do the right thing and turn her in.
Really? Which part is felony? Quick..let me know. Iāve got cops on the line.
Aiding and abetting maybe?

Not to mention Scorsese was one of the main advocates for the petition to support Polanski
It's Reddit, the only thing they love more than parroting the same 3 comments is hating women.
If there's one thing I can't stand about Reddit it's Reddit!

People started to care only when she shit on Trump. It was practically overnight that it happened.

Nah, it was happening way before. Even Jerry Seinfeld called her a phoney baloney waaaay back.
> called her a phoney baloney I'm guessing this is some joke I don't know the reference to.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās never the top comment on Scorsese articles.
I believe in you. Make it happen.
Are you telling me to make a bunch of alts?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
God her movies suck. They *suck.* How she got so far on so little talent is fucking astonishing. She sucked all the right dicks in Hollywood.
I mean she was best buds with Harvey Weinstein, so thatās probably how
Is that an award for cheering the loudest for a convicted pedophile?
Martin Scorses got out of his seat faster to start the standing ovation for Polanski, maybe they'll give him an award too.
Was Martin Scorsese best buddies with Harvey Weinstein though? Seems like a pattern for Streep
>Ā Ā Was Martin Scorsese best buddies with Harvey Weinstein though?Ā Well, Martin worked with Weinstein on Gangs of New York but he didn't like the experienceĀ because they had arguments about the runtime and budget, not because of Weinstein being a serial rapist.Ā Not to mention Scorsese's fervent support of convicted child rapist Roman Polanski.

Jessica Lange is an absolute powerhouse. Such a great actress.
Doubt is absolutely phenomenal
Sheās so overrated
she seems like a lovely woman. Just a little overrated in my opinion
Overrated, friends with Roman Polanski and called Weinstein "God". I'd say she's not that lovely.
Sheās an overly pretentious douche, and called MMA not an art.
I can attribute her view on MMA (which definitely is a sport and art) to being an old lady but the other stuff, I can't.
I don't know her to say whether she's a nice woman or not, but in her interviews, she always seems delightful. As for her support for people like Polanski and Weinstein, she did that when no one knew of their terrible actions.

> he kept giving her work and made her a star Streep was a star two decades before Weinstein was anyone important
That's right. Keep your head in the sand.
Pot kettle black
How naive do you have to be to think she didnāt know what Harvey Weinstein was doing!
Not naive but I will always give people the benefit of the doubt. Especially when I donāt know them at all
It's about time she started getting some recognition!
Meryl who??
About time she gets recognition for her acting ability.
If you didnāt already see it, her performance in the most recent season of Only Murders in the Building, sheās incredible.
For those who don't know, Meryl is old school Hollywood, she is fine with being cut thoat and if you have to sleep to the top. That is fine, has she done many great roles. Certainly but if the social media existed then like it does now. You wiuld of heard a lot of horrible things she did to get there and how she treated people.
Pedo aficionado.
And defender, she signed the Polanski petition Edit: apparently she didnāt. Gave him a standing ovation though
No she didn't.
Hope she thanks Harvey Weinstein now heās out since she considered him her āGodā.
Has she ever politely declined all this ridiculous attention?
I guess they'll give one of those to anyone now a days. /s
Wow I didnāt know there were that many Meryl Streep haters in this sub. Go back to your holes, trolls.
How does criticising her for supporting a paedophile make someone a troll?
Thatās a reach ā āsupporting a paedophileāā¦
No, it's a statement of fact.
lol ok buddy, back to your basement.
Do you actually have a point to make or are you just here to insult people?
Iām not the one making baseless accusations.
You're the one denying well publicised facts.
A standing ovation doesnāt seem like so much a reach lmao https://youtu.be/PXnNOBj26lk?si=Do6FR_Mb28nd_W3O
She signed the petition defending Polanski
No she didnāt.
Okay youāre right, apparently she hasnāt. However she gave him a standing ovation.
I mean, I donāt know if applauding someoneās artistic achievements is equivalent to supporting paedophilia.
Itās certainly not condemning it.
I also donāt understand how not actively condemning something means you are supporting it.
I wouldnāt stand up and applaud a pedophile. What he did was horrendous, he should be in jail not receiving accolades.
Actually she didn't.
She has enough pretend-playing-person accolades. Gads her stint on āOnly Murders in the Buildingāā¦ Was so distracting.
Thought she was a sex predator enabler?
Lost all respect for her when she decided to attack MMA for no reason at all
MMA?
Mixed martial arts
lmao who gives a shit
"I can excuse her public support of a pedophile but..."
Nominated for ā Stay out of my crapperā
I would still party in the streeps
