Eddie Redmayne apparently regrets playing a tranny in The Danish Girl, despite being nominated for an Oscar for that performance! What a fucking spineless, lying piece of shit.

He's said similar in interviews over the years before now. Here, for example:

Doesn't strike me that any regret is coming from a place of spinelessness or dishonesty. Personally, I don't think there was anything wrong with a man playing the part of a transitioning woman, but the whole thing is going a bit crazy at the moment. Maureen Lippmann piped up, seemingly after 40 years of silence, to say that Helen Mirren shouldn't be playing a Jew, which seems odd since Jewish people play non-Jewish characters the vast majority of the time. Meh. Just part of the collapse of everything that's going on. I think poor Eddie is just trying to make sense of it in his own way, as are we all.

Digipak CDs where the tray doesn't hold the feckin CDs.  Svart's 2xCD reissue of Winter's album last year had this issue, pain in the arse

Pretend outrage, pretend soul searching, pretend regret and public apology.  Utter, utter shite.

Edit. The gas thing, the irony of it all as I see it, is that he was being really woke and "brave" by playing the role in 2015, but with the endless contortions of the woke movement, he has inadvertently put himself beyond the pale. So now he has to scramble together a "brave" soul searching apology to stay on side with the very same fucking spastics he was playing to in the first place 

It's a circlejerk for self-loathers.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I think you're inventing the "scrambling" (or else it's a funny kind of scrambling that evolves slowly and pretty coherently over a 6 year period), along with other parts of the rest of the story. The director, Tom Hooper, offered him the part while they were working on Les Mis together. I don't think Redmayne was "playing to" anything other than what seemed another challenging role being handed to him. If he wanted to, he could just keep repeating that he had Lana Wachowski's blessing at the time, but he doesn't seem to have done that at any point.

I don't think he did anything wrong by taking the role. And even that's different from saying it was a mistake (which is the word he used in the recent interview). Maybe he does now think it was a mistake... maybe because of the growing headache he's getting over it, now from both sides!

[Eoin McLove]

Haha well, perhaps you're right. I haven't been following his career but it just seems so typical of the time, so predictable and tactical (headaches!) to repent for the cardinal sin of acting in a film. I agree with you that he might think it was a mistake now due to the inevitable backlash that will come from Sauron's ever-searching eye. It's just convenient to repent for nothing in an age where repenting for nothing is demanded of anyone who wants to have a career in the public eye. Tactical manoeuvres aside, it comes off as cynical to me.

By contrast, imagine if he came out with a statement repenting nothing and claiming pride for his successful part in a movie that he felt was telling an important story. You could either agree with him or disagree with him on its importance, but you couldn't question his integrity. That said, the mob doesn't recognise integrity, it just wants you to take the knee and swallow the spoon-fed horseshit, so there's no winning.

He was as well get ahead of things now and publicly announce his regret at playing Stephen Hawking before the disabled community and their advocates decide to take offence.

[Eoin McLove]

He's clearly a monster who needs to be stopped.

The entire world seems so terrified of Twitter outrage and negative online 'journalism' that it's hard to tell the wood from the trees in a case like this. Unlike that other fat piece of shit who threw his supposed friend Dave Chapelle under the bus to increase his online social credit score.

But yeah, the 'soul searching' stuff. I'm reading a book about the last days of the Third Reich as the Russians were closing in, they actually got 're-educated' German captives to go across the lines and 'influence' the wavering civilian population in Berlin that the boyz weren't so bad.

They must have forgotten about the SS and Feldgendarmerie hanging or shooting any fucker who even looked like wavering.

[open face surgery]

Who tried to throw Chappelle under the bus?

[Caomhaoin]

This gimp. He apologised for posing for a picture with him.

What a load of bollocks? I actually did see something about that but didn't bother clicking as I figured it was retarded. I made the right choice.

Missed this entirely. Ridiculous.

Quite frankly - the fact that Eddie Redmayne won the Oscar for dressing up like Austin Powers is what he should be regretful for. Two far worthier winners that year - beating Michael Keaton and Benedict Cumberbatch in the process.

Buying something with a sticker on it that leaves a mark when you remove it. Vinyl and books especially, drives me mad
