New Beyonce video used hella clips from the doc I produced and directed by @abteen ...but why?!?! https://t.co/RgWTUr1rtd

— chris black (@TheBlack) February 6, 2016

@darth__mouth@abteen ehhh sorta. there was a talk to use it but then it just ended. Not sure what else they did to get permission.

— chris black (@TheBlack) February 6, 2016

@TheBlack@darth__mouth I said no

— abteen bagheri (@abteen) February 6, 2016

My response was Beyoncé doesn't need our charity. But here it is. No credit. No surprise.

— abteen bagheri (@abteen) February 6, 2016

Why Melina gotta use clips from our doc?!? Was the budget not big enough to spend a week in New Orleans and actually build with the people.

— chris black (@TheBlack) February 6, 2016

At least when diplo ripped clips from our doc he drew cartoons on top of it.

— abteen bagheri (@abteen) February 6, 2016

At least credit the filmmakers that followed their passions and did the actual work.

— chris black (@TheBlack) February 6, 2016

It's one thing to make a career off referencing/copying, but just to take footage from our lens and say you're the director?

— abteen bagheri (@abteen) February 6, 2016

If you call yourself a director, have some respect for other people with the same title. Talk to me about how and why you need my footage.

— abteen bagheri (@abteen) February 7, 2016

Abteen Bagheri is the director of That B.E.A.T.
Beyoncé asked for permission to use parts of the documentary in her music video, the director said no but apparently she went ahead and used them anyway.


That B.E.A.T is a 2012 documentary on New Orleans bounce music.
This was tweeted by the 'director' of the formation MV after the makers of 'That B.E.A.T.' complaints about their footage being used without permission or credit blew up. Over an hour after the original complaints.

Must give much love to the beautiful NOLA footage shot and directed by @abteen and @lkeber to make #FORMATION whole.

Stans tried to claim that Bey's team obtained the rights from a distibutor

Sundown Channel owns the rights to the footage, Not them. Melina/Beyonce used proper channels in getting footage. https://t.co/6AgP23ReJ8

— SHE'S BACK!!!!!!!!!! (@JustSbadz_RSA) February 7, 2016

but the 'Sundown channel' does not exist not to mention the director presumably owns the short film as it is uploaded to his personal vimeo account (vimeo requires you own the material you upload).

Oldboy's director, Park Chan-Wook is set to adapt Japanese novel Genocidal Organs: https://t.co/fTFzMxmPle

— io9 (@io9) February 6, 2016

Here’s the description of the book:

The war on terror exploded, literally, the day Sarajevo was destroyed by a homemade nuclear device. The leading democracies transformed into total surveillance states, and the developing world has drowned under a wave of genocides. The mysterious American John Paul seems to be behind the collapse of the world system, and it’s up to intelligence agent Clavis Shepherd to track John Paul across the wreckage of civilizations, and to find the true heart of darkness—a genocidal organ.

German TV drama Deutschland 83 starring Jonas Nay as a 24-year-old from East Germany who in 1983 is sent to the West as an undercover spy has become the highest-rated foreign-language drama in U.K. history, Channel 4 said.

The first episode of the spy drama, which airs on SundanceTV in the U.S., drew in 2.5 million, exceeding record set by 'The Returned.'

The French drama The Returned on Channel 4 in 2013 previously held the record in Britain for a foreign-language drama with 2.2 million.

Proud rape opposer Jemaine Clement

A media outlet recently exposed self-proclaimed 'King of Masculinity' and pick-up artist, Roosh Valizadeh, as being a 36-year-old man who lives in his mother's basement. If you are unfamiliar with Roosh, he makes his living by proselytizing controversial views about women to his paying disciples. Some of Roosh's opinions include: a woman's value as dependent on her 'fertility and beauty', women with eating disorders make the best girlfriends, and in one blog entry (which he now claims was satire) said that if a woman was raped on private property, it should be legal.

.

In true schadenfreude form, Jemaine Clement thought it was hilarious that the King of Masculinity still lives at home with mom, and he tweeted about it to his followers.

Well, the meninists were NOT happy about it. Apparently, Clement's opposition to rape and sponging off your elderly parents hurts their fragile egos so much that they've gone on attack, calling Clement a "cuck", "f*ggot", questioning the paternity of his child, and all sorts of derogatory schoolyard taunts. Here's a small sampling:

They have also been busy attacking any woman who expresses agreement with him, calling them ugly, whores, or a combination of the two. Clement seems to find the meninists' rage amusing and continues to retweet them and laugh.

It's so bizarre watching a gang of middle-aged babies throw twitter tantrums because a comedian suggested that raping and mistreating women is wrong, but kind of great that their backwards views are being exposed and mocked by Jemaine Clement and his followers.
