He seems like a good dude.

I read Marek Zydowicz's op-ed. It was written in response to a cinematographer org promoting their women members and asking for more inclusion in the festival. For anyone interested it was the typical "but if we include women will we be excluding real talent" bullshit every male introduced to the idea of equality first comes out with.

Since this is a post about Steve McQueen being awesome time to bring back some of my favourite gifs of him being tired of everyone's bullshit:

LOL I was in the room during that press conference and lemme tell you it was wild from the jump!

Unrelated: he looks very dashing in these GIFs.

A rare man of principle.

i don't think this Zydowiscz guy can just apologize and expect this to go away. It's not like he said something flippant or had a quote taken out of context. He wrote a whole damn op-ed on his position. Like, sounds like you're just an asshole and now you have to face the consequences.
