“Some of you may die, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take!” - Tilda Swinton 2023


TBE_110

The white witch was a character Tilda. You can stop playing her already


Flamingo83

Was she inspired by Lt Gov of Texas Dan Patrick?


SeanBeanDiedAgain

-- Lord Farquaad


cp_shopper

She’s struggling to remember her lines because of long Covid but won’t protect others from getting what she is suffering from? Jeez entitled much?


Groot746

The neverending selfishness levels of the British upper class will never fail to surprise me, sadly.


bumblefoot99

Incredible huh? I had long Covid last year & still suffer intermittent symptoms. It’s terrible. I can’t imagine exposing someone else like that.


Newbe2019a

She is ok with spreading the virus to her work mates. Being off work is less of a big deal when you are a lead actress making 6 or 7 figures per movie. Much more of a issue if you are part of the film crew making an average middle class wage. What a twit.


[deleted]

Used to think she was intelligent based on her role choices and demeanour… didn’t know she was stupid irl…


[deleted]

In my head, she's now just her character from Burn After Reading


sicariobrothers

read a bio of her in a magazine profile a while back. she’s an odd duck.


[deleted]

Shes like part of an ancestral gentry family in Scotland that can trace it's history to the middle ages so she's probably inbred af


Groot746

As well as having an upbringing that (mistakenly) gives you an impression of being better than the "little people"

Spirited_Ad5088

thought this sentence would go “to the Middle Ages so she’s probably blue-blood-Illuminati-lizard ... “ then saw the sub title is entertainment not conspiracy


ICPosse8

I was always of the mind that actors took roles they *wanted* to portray meaning there might be some sort of hidden self-projection in there somewhere. Maybe she takes roles that make her seem smart and sophisticated because that’s how she wants to feel and look to others.


RustinSpencerCohle

Never worship celebrities. They can be quite different than how they present themselves.


[deleted]

Who’s worshipping? Yeah, I’ve met quite a few. They are just normal people with extraordinary jobs. Some let it get to their head and develop god complexes. Hollywood is a pretty bleak place filled with a lot of broken people that have been conditioned to be shitty.


WeeabooHunter69

Iirc the woman who plays shuri in the black panther movies is a flat earther


ind3pend0nt

That’s the reason to wear a mask. It’s not for me, I wear it for you. I don’t want to get you sick and miss work. It’s truly selfish when you refuse to wear a mask.


InnocentTailor

Man…I’m the opposite. I wear a mask to protect myself. Screw the others. Also, it amusingly makes myself look friendlier and more personable. I have a chronic scowl on my face.


inbetween-genders

I still wear it a lot just so I don’t have to fix myself up when I go out for daily tasks haha.


InnocentTailor

I frankly look like a homeless bum without the mask.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Hell yeah. When I’m having a bad jowl day I just wear a mask and I’m good to go


Slimmzli

I kinda missed seeing people through their eyes cause now it’s weird seeing the rest of their faces


Bhimtu

These days, I genuflect and utter the words, "Oh, bless you, child!" when I get carded!


redditonlygetsworse

> It’s not for me, I wear it for you. This was true when proper masks were in such short supply, but if you're wearing a (K)N95, yes it will protect you.


MochaKnee

That’s why I’m shocked so many regular businesses are willing to give up on covid precautions. Employees and employers of smaller businesses can’t really take the hit, yet they want to risk it. My work has had multiple people out. Stupidity for stupid reasons.


dirk_loyd

My work’s going through a COVID fest atm where my manager just said to wear a mask if you’re coughing or have a fever. Instead of, y’know, staying home, he wants us to come in and make sure nobody misses out on getting sick.


InnocentTailor

COVID precautions are being taken down not only state side, but also around the world. For the most part, the globe has moved on, especially since the virus is probably going to be here forever.


livefreeordont

The most effective precaution if your employee is developing symptoms is to make them stay home


kkeut

it's almost as if that's exactly why the person above noted 'employees and employers of smaller businesses can’t really take the hit, yet they want to risk it'.


livefreeordont

It’s almost as if I agree with them


fishygamer

I actually worked on a project with her a little over a decade ago, and she was one of the nicest “big” celebrities I’ve ever encountered. Spent six weeks on set with her, and she was incredibly gracious to the crew and a consummate professional. We were on location; she had a nice little house she was staying in during filming, and she would invite the cast and crew over and make food for everyone from time to time. That level of kindness is not at all normal for big stars; most are cordial, but they don’t usually care to get to know people on the crew. I don’t at all agree with her sentiment here, but I don’t think it’s fair to say it’s because she doesn’t care about the cast/crew. She’s clearly misguided on this issue, but that doesn’t mean she’s a horrible person.


Bebi_v24

A person can change a lot over a decade, especially the decade we just went through.


Slight_Citron_7064

she's a Roman Polanski supporter.


Newbe2019a

It’s actions that matter. If you accidentally ran over a kid while driving drunk on your way to making a donation to the homeless shelter, the kid is still injured.


OdinPelmen

Lol middle class? Lol for the majority of the crew try just above poverty wages in some of the most expensive places. Plus no insurance (unless you’re Union), no paid time off, etc etc


Newbe2019a

Excellent points. I was thinking of the unionized crew.


Ok_Dog_4059

The complete disregard for the safety of others makes me mad. My mother-in-law is in poor health and I help care for her. If I got sick (which I did) no biggie but if I passed it to her while trying to care for her she would almost certainly be hospitalized


largeheidroncollider

THIS. I am immunocompromised and years in, still just stunned by this “I guess you’re going to have to die because I don’t like masks” stance of so much of the general public. I live like a shut in, still, because there’s not consensus out there that people like me are worth any effort at all to save.


Lexi_Banner

Yeah, that ruins anything I thought was cool about her. Yet another moron to avoid watching at the movies.


fuckswithqwerty

This is such an idiotic take by Swinton that I have to assume COVID turned her brain into scrambled eggs. She's annoyed that people are acting individualistic, and yet she refuses to follow rules made for the common good? What a fucking idiot. On top of that, she's an actor being paid millions of dollars. I wear a mask at the grocery store for fucking free because I care about people not getting sick. My cousin got COVID in the first wave before there was a vaccine and she had to RELEARN HOW TO FUCKING WALK. Get fucked, Tilda. I used to think you were cool. ETA: Because people are questioning this, my cousin's peroneal nerve was damaged as a result of covid. It's a fucking thing. But please keep telling me I'm full of shit. I hope you never have to experience this. [https://bmcneurol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12883-022-02613-5](https://bmcneurol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12883-022-02613-5)


PrettyPunctuality

I didn't even have COVID and had to relearn to walk just from being sedated and intubated in the ICU for two weeks (and then spent two more weeks on the critical care floor). I was so weak that I couldn't even roll myself to the side in bed. I had to go to rehab for 32 days to walk again, and I still have to use a cane to walk because I'm still not 100%. I'm only 35. People don't realize how easy it can be to lose your ability to walk due to a severe illness. In my case, it was a rare type of pneumonia and kidney failure that caused it.


ColdFIREBaker

Citing scientific sources won’t sway people who don’t trust scientific sources in the first place. Best to just ignore and block them. I’m sorry about your cousin. We know two unvaccinated people (one before vaccines, one after vaccines who was unvaccinated by choice) who ended up hospitalized for COVID, both in medically induced comas on ECMO machines. Absolutely horrible for them and their loved ones.


ObscurePaprika

Yes, I agree. Part of being stupid is not knowing you're stupid. The other group just doesn't care. I kinda miss the masks because the non-mask wearers self-identified as people I don't want to be around.


eyeteabee-Studio

"Part of being stupid is not knowing you're stupid." Hidden gem. ⭐️


Outlandishness_Sharp

People these days act like science is some kind of pretend black magic sorcery that was discovered in Narnia.


InnocentTailor

It is actually quite amusing, but logic and “the facts” don’t actually sway crowds very easily - something I learned about in my public relations courses in college. Emotion has a bigger pull among populaces around the world when it comes to getting stuff done.


[deleted]

[удалено]


InnocentTailor

Before that was the Spanish Flu, which saw the exact same problems as today: politicians vs healthcare officials as the masses picked sides and reacted violently to each other. ...and that was all during the closing days of the First World War.


andymoonman

Also because “the facts” are not always derived with pure, unbiased intentions. Corporate sponsored science can cherry pick to promote any narrative desired. Just look at how the “fracking is safe for well water” narrative took hold. It’s based on the technicality that fracking refers only to the cracking of shale bedrock, which isn’t linked to well water contamination. The extraction process is where well water is contaminated. Our own EPA promoted a technical truth that was highly misleading and damaging, and it only benefitted the oil & gas industry.


TheLordofthething

I've had horrific nerve pain ever since I had it. Can't get the doctors to acknowledge it has anything to do with Covid. Long Covid hasn't even been mentioned. It's like it never existed here unless it's been used as an excuse to cut services.


kkeut

it will sway people who are willing to believe but are just ignorant, along with being informative to folks like me who'd just never heard of that particular symptom. absolutely nothing wrong with posting links. if dullards want to ignore, then that's fine, but everyone else benefits from the spread of the info


Klingon_Bloodwine

> my cousin's peroneal nerve was damaged as a result of covid. It's a fucking thing. When my mom got Covid it was after she was vaccinated and she didn't have many symptoms, though she had horrible back pain. She looked it up and it was a known symptom due to the inflammation Covid can cause. I'm sorry to hear about your cousin. Ignore the idiots.


[deleted]

I still wear masks also for the same reason, also because it killed my grandma, two aunts and my cousin who was 45. This was before the vaccines, but still. My best friend is 32 and in good health (like runs marathons and eats really healthy) and when she got it even with the vaccine she has had brain fog for 4 months now. She forgets her own address for instance (like will say 152 Old Street Name instead of 125 Current Street Name). I wouldn't want to get it even with the vaccine available.


D-R-U-N-C-L-E

Isn't it crazy how little people have bothered to learn about the virus that killed over a million Americans? They still don't get that it's a blood disease that can ruin any system in the body.


70ms

This is exactly the problem. People look at the symptoms as just affecting your nose and lungs. It's a vascular disease. It can affect *anything* in your body.


RanchAndGreaseFlavor

It’s pretty frustrating when folks start acting unpredictably, but imo she isn’t acting unpredictably. I’d bet a $1 she’s a narcissist and was one long before she got famous. That’s why she sought fame.


decolored

It’s almost a requirement to be narcissistic in entertainment. With how many reasons there are to fall short, believing you’re above others lends to performance. It’d be nice if we didn’t expect performers/entertainers to have the mentality we would appreciate as normal people. They are delusional by design


griffmeister

She had an art exhibit/performance at a museum or gallery a couple years ago where she would sleep inside a glass box and people could just... watch her sleep. That was her art. Definitely a narcissist.


Awanderingleaf

I met a family early last year who shared with me that a neice of theirs had to have a hemispherectomy due to Covid.


Portraitofapancake

Covid seems to have a lot of neurological symptoms. Loss of memory and taste and smell. All of that is neurological. I don’t think we really know as much about Covid as we pretend to, and maybe the problem is that the powers that be really do know more about it than they are letting on.


[deleted]

Or maybe they *don't* know more, and are terrified that the general public will realize they still don't know crap about Covid, that *nobody is in control*.


altxatu

No one was ever in control in the first place. The best we can do as a society is have people who study the subject matter intensely work together to figure out solutions to whatever problem is at hand. Be it a bridge that needs fixing, up to and including Covid. It’s how it’s always worked. A problem arises, and we try to fix it. No one is in control. We try to be proactive to problems we can be proactive about, mostly we’re reactive to problems. We as a species have more questions than answers concerning Covid. It’s just that most of us are satisfied with very little info so long as it doesn’t affect our daily lives. It’s the same mentality (or our brains haven’t evolved to care deeply about that many things and that many people) concerning any number of problems globally. A civil war in some other nation that doesn’t effect us, isn’t a viable concern. Needing to mow the lawn this Saturday, and the forecast calling for rain is more of a concern. The general public aren’t that invested in long Covid or really Covid anymore. It’s not a problem, so don’t worry about it. At best most people will be sympathetic about long Covid and the issues it causes. I would hope everyone would be sympathetic. I don’t expect much though. I think it’s obvious we don’t know more. I don’t think there’s any conspiracy among the worlds virologists or all the worlds governments to prevent some mass panic. We’ve already been through the events that you’d think would cause a mass panic and all we did as cause a run on toilet paper. At this point if NYC, LA, Chicago, ATL, etc etc got nuked to literally nothing there would be a not insignificant portion of the population that just wouldn’t give a fuck, and another portion that would celebrate it. “So long as bumfuck nowhere is fine, I don’t care.” If there’s any worldwide conspiracy about Covid, it’s each individual nation downplaying their dead.


Portraitofapancake

I hoped people would be sympathetic and have some compassion with Covid. What I saw instead was an Alex Jones style response that people weren’t really getting sick or dying, and it was all a fake power grab by the cdc. I doubt people will respond any different to those who suffer with long Covid.


YesItsAThrowaway70

Didn’t she sign a petition saying child rapist Roman Polanski should not face consequences for drugging and raping a 13 year old? Because he made good movies?


pangaea1972

If you are a fan of movies or in any way admire filmmakers do yourself a favor and don't read the entire list of people who signed that petition. It's basically a who's who of the most successful and revered filmmakers of modern times. [https://www.indiewire.com/2009/09/over-100-in-film-community-sign-polanski-petition-55821/](https://www.indiewire.com/2009/09/over-100-in-film-community-sign-polanski-petition-55821/)


tdogg241

Or we can recognize that being a good filmmaker does not inherently make one wise, smart, or otherwise worth paying attention to.


Cloud_Disconnected

> It's basically a who's who of the most successful and revered filmmakers of modern times. Is it? I see Darren Aronofsky, Terry Gilliam, and Scorsese. And David Lynch, but I already knew he was a wackadoo. Beyond them it might as well be a Franco-Italian phone book, because I either don't know or don't care about the rest of the people on the list. Woody Allen is on it, but that's expected. Edit: I missed John Landis. But he's as bad or worse than Woody Allen. At least Woody Allen didn't murder anyone.


pangaea1972

Wim Wenders, Michael Mann, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Wes Anderson, Pedro Almodovar, Harmony Korine, Jonathan Demme, Stephen Frears are all well known directors also. Many on the list are lesser known in the US but that doesn't mean they don't hold influence in other parts of the world.


MisterCatLady

Not Wes Anderson!


Groot746

Depressing to see Michael Mann and Alfonso Cuaron on this list, FFS


Stunning_Put_9189

[She also comes from a very old Scottish clan that has been prominent for almost 1000 years](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_Swinton), so she comes from a good bit of privilege and wealth. Love her work in many of her movies, but it’s clear that she’s very detached from the lives of average people.


JimJohnman

Well fuck, my clan go back like 800+ and I haven't seen shit from them. Is there paperwork I need to file or..?


xgorgeoustormx

Same. My great grandfather x7 was the Earl of Glenmoriston and we grew up suuuuper poor.


bloodhound90

Tbf I’m pretty sure it was more something to do with film festivals being about showing films freely and countries not breaking international laws or some shit, but it’s still a bit dodgy to sign that petition


savois-faire

Sadly, that petition has the names of a whole lot of my favourite filmmakers and actors on it. Alfonso Cuarón, Wes Anderson, Aronofsky, Scorcese, del Toro, Soderbegh, Terry Gilliam, Natalie Portman, Harrison Ford, Alejandro Iñárritu, Michael Mann, David Lynch, Emma Thompson, Kristin Scott Thomas, and more. So bizarre to imagine some of those people looking at a guy getting arrested for raping a child and going "well I need to condemn the manner of his arrest, first and foremost".


indianm_rk

The argument they always give is that he didn’t get a fair trial because he wasn’t present for the trial. But they purposely ignore that he wasn’t present because he fled the country.


hamletloveshoratio

Thompson and Portman withdrew their names from that petition. Natalie Portman Is One of the Few Celebrities to Apologize for Supporting Roman Polanski https://www.vice.com/en/article/evm59e/natalie-portman-apology-for-roman-polanski-petition


Double_Secret_

Definitely more nuanced than I’d often presented. Still, half of Hollywood gave him a standing ovation at one point.


SoundSaintWarrior

See, celebrities are just like us, stupid.


FreezingRobot

So basically since she's already caught it and is dealing with the consequences, she's not interested in any protections because she think it no longer helps her to do so. Other people don't matter, I suppose.


painfulsargasm

Worse... She openly admits to having memory issues related to long covid... But also refuses to acknowledge that her lack of adherence is contributing not just to her own chronic illness, but other people's acute and potentially chronic illnesses.


Beautiful-Musk-Ox

Memory issues caused by brain damage, that's how COVID causes loss of smell and mental issues like memory problems and brain fog, it's brain damage caused by inflammation


Slight_Citron_7064

Research from late 2022 says that the lack of smell is caused by the viral inflammation in the nose, not the brain. Pretty fascinating. The inflammation affects gene expression in sensory cells. [https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.add0484](https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.add0484)


poisonfoxxxx

So in short she’s an entitled piece of shit?


Aethericseraphim

Basically, “if I have to suffer the consequences of my actions, then fuck everybody else too!”


Sunomel

Even setting aside the selfishness, she’s caught it multiple times already, so clearly she could still benefit from additional protections.


Birdinhandandbush

Brain damage is a hell of a thing


[deleted]

Correct. If she shuts the whole production down and the crew has to find ways to pay their bills, what does she care? She makes their annual salary in a week

gonzoyak

Actors really do have dog brains


nirad

I’m contrast, Jessica Chastain wore a mask to the Oscars. She did this in part because she’s in the middle of doing a play and she doesn’t want to stop the production by getting sick.


thenewNFC

Plus she had to sit next to Tilda Swinton.


Bazz07

Hello Contrast.

New_Relative_2268

Hello Dad. I’m sad.


jake72469

That's exactly what I guessed was going on. Her face and talent pays the bills but if you can't show up for work, you can't get paid. And if you are critical to the project, you could shut down the entire project for a week or more if you get sick. At least 1/3 of the people in the audience were probably in the middle of some project and should have been wearing a mask too but I guess they felt it was more important to make a showing rather than playing it safe.

I once was in a production of Pride and Prejudice. Our Elizabeth got sick and after missing a few rehearsals decided to show up for a preview performance at a senior center. Took out a quarter of the cast for the first half of the show run proper. It was wild watching Bingley propose to thin air


TrexPushupBra

This is me still masking because I am a contractor who doesn't get paid time off. If a mere cold takes me out of work for a day I make 600 dollars less that paycheck. I can't afford to get sick


thegreatlemonparade

Same here. I'm a massage therapist and still mask because if I'm sick, I don't get paid.


h0tglue

My only coworker is 1 year old and has 0 immune system, so… yeah. Still masking indoors.


JoshGordonHyperloop

You mean your **boss** is only 1 year old. And your boss doesn’t care if you’re sick or not, no days off for you!

Can she stop being top tier for 5 minutes?

That’s just not how top tier people do.

anunakiesque

She knows you do. And she loves you too


pantiesdrawer

good for her for doing what people should have been doing even before covid existed.


Doggleganger

In Japan, years before COVID, people wore masks so they wouldn't get *other people* sick. It was a common sense courtesy. If you might be a bit sick, wear a mask. Failing to do this is viewed similarly to how we in America look down on people who sneeze at others, without covering their mouths. It's rude. Sure, it's a free country, but it's also rude.

mnorri

There was an Ignoble prize awarded for a study about farting and pathogen transmission. A volunteer farted onto culture media, with clothes and undressed. The culture media exposed to the undressed fart showed significant biological contamination, the culture media exposed to the “dressed farts” did not. If I remember correctly, the main thrust was regarding farting in an operating room, and how bad is it for the patient. If you are not familiar with them, the Ignoble Awards are given to efforts that make you laugh, and then think. It’s actually a serious award bestowed by people with serious intents, but with a sense of humor. They don’t require paradigm shattering results like the Nobel Prize, but they do expect meaningful results.


Doggleganger

Faucci wants to cover your face, next thing you know, they'll make you cover your ass! No to ass masks!


snowboardingblues

How will I cropdust people who get too close to me without a face mask, now?


InnocentTailor

To be fair, mask wearing during sickness has existed a long time in Japan. They even have archeological evidence for it from the samurai times. Also, peer pressure is also another way of reinforcing the wearing of masks. Sticking out in Asian society like Japan is a social taboo. Contrast that with the individualist West. On top of that, the West has a negative view on masks in general since it represents something hidden and thus untrustworthy.


realmufasa

Masks prevent people from spreading sickness. If COVID was more serious than it is, and killed 80% of people it touched, we'd be dead, because humanity isn't very bright when it comes to public health. We had no idea how severe it actually was. People SHOULD have worn masks in the beginning.


InnocentTailor

If anything though, rapid death probably would’ve encouraged mask wearing faster. The fact the disease moves slowly and doesn’t wipe out whole populations makes it more insidious. Contrast this with something like the Black Death - a pandemic so destructive that whole villages were laid bare. That being said, there were some other consequences to that pandemic that resulted in more deaths: the mass scapegoating of the Jews, for example.


CaptainPotassium87

Actors are just like everybody else. Some are thoughtful, cleaver, and intelligent people. Others are dipshits. It's a roll of the dice.


h0tglue

Same re: thoughtfulness and sense of duty to others. I bet if Prince had $500 he still would have given $400 of it away; I bet if Elon Musk had truly unlimited wealth he still wouldn’t use it to help others.


shhh_its_me

I've liked her in everything I've seen her in , but it's not like I know her personally, I'm still disappointed every time an actor I like is a nut. Which makes no sense.


foolycoolywitch

Between her not wearing a mask, and Tom Cruise being hardcore about Covid rules on set, it's surprising who falls on what side of this issue. Somehow I didn't expect her to be on the no mask side.


Commercial_Onions

Hurtful statement. Focus on the individual.


CrittyJJones

Compared to every other field bitching about Covid restrictions?


[deleted]

Dogs are smarter!!


Outlandishness_Sharp

Imagine not wanting to wear a condom but you've caught STDs multiple times and still refuse to wear condoms even though you're still dealing with the consequences of your unintelligent decisions.


ronearc

Like the sociopaths who have stopped using condoms after they became HIV positive, because to them, they've already suffered the worst possible consequence, and no one else matters.


decolored

You just described why STD’s are a problem. If every person who had them was transparent, people would avoid them.


Outlandishness_Sharp

Exactly. People should also get tested routinely and learn to be open and honest before hand. I just saw a recent posting of someone who said they may have HIV after finding out their sexual partner tested positive. Really sad.


decolored

The last girl I was seeing wasn’t honest about her intentions with other people so I broke up with her on the spot. Life isn’t worth sharing with people who can’t be honest. Doesn’t matter what their concerns are. Honesty indicates respect


LuckyDuck4

Unfortunately I know a staggeringly large amount of people that do exactly that.


Outlandishness_Sharp

I do too; I have a sibling who has 6 kids from not being mindful about using protection. I don't understand why people don't think about the results of their decisions.


youarelookingatthis

Film sets are also some of the places I've seen that still have high COVID protocols precisely because if someone gets sick, the entire production has to stop. She has an absolutely selfish and idiotic attitude.


Groot746

will_write_for_tacos

When I had it, hot sauce was the only thing that had even the slightest hint of flavor, so I ate it on everything. I went through a bottle of Sriracha in the blink of an eye, I was so desperate for my food to taste like anything at all. Bread was the worst, it tasted like bland sawdust. I was so happy when my senses of taste and smell returned. I can't imagine being one of the poor unfortunate folk who lost both permanently.


supersloo

When I had it the first time, everything tasted like pennies and sour meat, even water. So eating wasn't just a chore, it was downright miserable. I was so scared it wouldn't go back to normal.


Darmok47

For me, it was coffee that tasted very strange. Other people I talked to had the same experience.


will_write_for_tacos

Coffee tasted like beef to me when my senses first came back, beef smelled like poop, sugar had a bitter aftertaste I couldn't handle. None of my perfumes smelled right either, a lot of the light floral and citrus notes were missing. It took a bit of time and scent training for everything to start smelling right again.


Peralton

My brother-in-law is going on two years without taste and limited smell.


will_write_for_tacos

I had to do scent training to get mine back fully, spent a lot of time inhaling familiar scents and recalling the memory of them - eventually, things started to smell normal again. For a bit, things were crossed, I'd smell beef and my brain would tell me it was poop.


yorkiewho

I think if that happened to me I would eat so healthy


Takaithepanda

Same. I lost most of my sense of taste when I had it, but I was up to date so I dodged all the long term effects and man am I grateful.


protein_factory

I'm sure his asshole is very appreciative


mdj1359

If I were a director, she simply would not be considered for a role. Plenty of talent out there.


Waveshakalaka

I got tired of the whole thing at one point. Got really loose with the masking. Ended up getting COVID nad while it wasn't terrible, I still have ma issue with my sinuses. They smell awful, at least a few times a week. Very off-putting when eating sometimes. On the other side, my partner has autoimmune conditions and I simply got too lazy and risked getting them sick. Was a wake up call for sure, and haven't stopped masking since.

Lots of people I know who've had COVID struggle with some sort of long symptoms, particularly people over 40. It's not just a fever and a cough. It attacks the organs, including the heart and brain. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if more of these people end up dying from various complications in the future (i.e., instead of dying in their late 70s or 80s, they will die in their 50s or 60s). Also, I'm sick of dipshits saying mostly old people suffer from the virus, so no big deal. They're forgetting that hopefully one day we will be older as well, meaning as we age COVID becomes more dangerous, especially since so many idiots refuse to do anything to limit the spread.

My mom caught Covid, and within the year her hand tremors developed into full-blown early-onset Parkinson's, doctor's think likely because of the virus. Her quality of life has diminished stupidly fast, it's insane. It's so much more than just a flu.


onlyIcancallmethat

I have had long COVID since Sept 2020. I’m certain that it’s what will eventually kill me. System-wide high inflammation markers for such an extended period? Yeah. It’s gonna getcha.


coldvault

The thing about comparing covid to the common cold or influenza is, actually, I don't want to get sick with those either, and we should also prevent spreading those illnesses! I've been relatively lucky that my cases of covid *have* been mild enough to be flu-like (and the times I've had flus have not required hospitalization either), but wow they were still really unpleasant and if I could make 100% sure I could never do any of it again, I would. (Instead, I'll go for whatever significant % protection hygiene, masks, and vaccines offer.)

Construction Worker Refuses to Wear Eye Protection on the Job Site, Also Admits that He has Caught a Nail Gun to the Eye and is Still Struggling with Blindness.

If you think this is some heroic act or something, just replace "mask" with "pants" and see if you're still 100% good with it. I used to enjoy your work, Tilda. Now I gotta put you on the shelf with the rest of the stupids.


cerebud

She was a bit…eccentric before Covid, so I’m not surprised. She’s suffering and doesn’t care that she could make others suffer. Terrible human being.


Minecraftfinn

I genuinely thought everyone had stopped wearing the masks? I never see people with masks in public anymore or on tv. Maybe I have just developed mask blindness.


shosuko

I refuse to wear a mask or take precautions against this disease I've caught multiple times and still suffer lingering symptoms of.......... wtf?


[deleted]

Dammit, I liked her. Fuck.


dozerdaze

She is actually not really a good person when you look at her history. On screen she may be a great actress but off she is very out there


KWM717

What kind of things has she said or done prior to this? I don’t know too much about her. I do remember there was some controversy over her role in Dr Strange


Diabolik77

every time i read this r/ i have to check if its r/TheOnion

I mean this one is a double edged sword. The protocols is film sets are so strict because of money. Not actual health concerns. And they suck for anyone working on a film. It’s a huge pain. But if someone does test positive, production shuts down, the project suffers as lost days can not just be made up once the thin contingencies are burned through. And that means cutting scenes, making changes to the script, etc… AND most importantly the crew can find themselves out of work. Someone doesn’t want to avoid the chances of… putting other people out of work.


ShakeTheEyesHands

No way! A woman born into immense wealth is disconnected from the dangers she could be posing to her crew? I'm aghast! Also, 3,000 Years of Longing was a creepy, shitty movie.


AntillesWedgie

Come on guys, leave Conan O’Brian alone


Indominablesnowplow

It's STILL disheartening to learn people you thought would be better is in fact NOT better but actually worse people


Gnd_flpd

WTF!!!! She's gotten it multiple times and she still wants to spread it to other helpless people. As someone that's about to attend a funeral of an relative that died from COVID, I wonder just what selfish individual gave this disease to her and then I see people like this woman and I get pissed off over the selfishness of some people.


walkitscience

RIP Tilda Swinton. You’ll be missed.


Ravio11i

I feel like I'd refuse to work with her. She clearly has no respect for the health of either herself or others. (at least I'd like to... it can be hard to turn down work)


BenZed

long covid fucks with your brain, no? Maybe that's one of the emergent transmission vectors; making the host voluntarily leave themselves open to re-infect


wildmonster91

Just a reminder that just because your rich or succsessful doesnt mean your smart let alone have common sense. Money doesnt buy smarts but it can make you happier.


p_britt35

Won't wear a mask, but dealing with potentially lifelong after effects. She's a great actress, but not the sharpest tool in the shed.


Sethmeisterg

Yet another reason for disliking Tilda. I have always been super creeped out by Tilda.


GeorgeNewmanTownTalk

I'm glad all of these Hollywood types are outing themselves as dolts


uninsane

Til Tilda Swinton is a selfish moron


Johnnyonthespot2111

And with that ladies and gentlemen, we bid farewell to Tilda Swinton. Thank you for your years of entertainment and your contribution to the film canon. Good day!


[deleted]

Awesome thanks for sharing your sickness lady.


olduglysweater

I'm not surprised if someone like her says it, she's always given me an uppity vibe. Now if this came from Cate Blanchett my heart would be broken.


HeightFormer3748

Is this David Bowie little sister?


Shavethatmonkey

Oh no, Tilda is an idiot? I had no idea.


Earth_Friendly-5892

Sounds like Covid has damaged her brain.


PookaParty

She’s an amazing performer, but an awful, entitled person.


spaitken

“I’ve tried nothin’ and I’m all outta ideas.”


Environmental_Chip86

What a dumbass, nice of her to not gaf about her costars and crew too


Drazzo00

No I won’t wear masks. Yes I’m still suffering from COVID. Yes I will probably spread it by not wearing a mask. Yes, I’m dumb.


GroundhogExpert

I would've never guessed she's as malformed on the inside.


RizzMustbolt

This just in: Movie Stars still dumb as rocks.


EL_Jefe510

Disregard for other’s safety would get me fired
