Now that the Sanna Marin party-video pushback thing has gone away, here’s a simple question that needs an answer.

If a Millennial-age head of state (she’s 36) chooses to have a couple of drinks and dance around with friends, fine. But what head of state in his/her right mind would be okay with someone taking a video of this? Is it some kind of unsuppressible Millennial urge to be performative no matter what? It’s crazy.

N.Y. Times columnist Maureen Dowd, dated 8.27: “What a grim, still-sexist world this is, when Marin is forced to tearfully apologize — and take a drug test — after video leaked of her letting loose.”

It wasn’t my idea, but the other night I watched an episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Episode 2, as it turned out — “Superhuman Law”.

I don’t what to say or even think. I knew I would never catch another episode so I watched with what you might call a dispassionate attitude. I didn’t hate it but I felt nothing….nothing at all. (I nodded off just before it ended, to be completely honest.) Yes, yes…some are calling She-Hulk woke Disney-corporate garbage and others approve of the feminist manifesto aspect. I have to admit that I liked hanging with the She-Hulk version of “Jen Walters” — tall, buff, striking, green — more than Tatiana Maslany on her lonesome.

That aside I don’t care. A window into the void. It didn’t flatline my soul — it just didn’t do anything.

…to save the listing ship? The movie is the movie — the Venice Film Festival verdict is just around the corner, nothing to be done. But Twitter-wise? I would post a supportive pro–Shia tweet: “I admire your naked honesty, your bravery…your commitment to change and healing…my respect is absolute.”

And then I’d sign to direct a film that is completely lacking any kind of female-empowered, anti-white-patriarchy attitude. No gay stuff. Maybe a Woody Allen-styled dark comedy about a headstrong director who falls for a rock star. Or do a Kathryn Bigelow…make a war film. Or some kind of Michael Mann crime thriller. Basically shift gears, become someone else.

This you’ll have to click on.

And nature abhors a vacuum.

This whole Olivia Wilde thing reminds me of the Whitney Cummings thing reminds me of so many recent incidents in Hollywood where white women have revealed that they acquire power in the industry not because they challenge norms but tout female empowerment while changing nothing. https://t.co/6fi86MhjKD

At ZCN Ticket, we put artists first.

The news regarding Olivia Wilde goes against this guideline of ours, and as a result we are removing her as the debut subject of ICONS. pic.twitter.com/g5HoDGDtOk
