Bias

85%

Examples:

  • An investment banker's approach to film-making that has left us hungry for more original, mid-budget films.
  • cinemas clogged with safe, so-so sequels no one really asked for.
  • Hollywood is a very slow kitchen.
  • Some of their decisions have even started feeling a bit insulting.
  • They watch what we're watching and rewatching and it means they bring back...

Conflicts of Interest

93%

Examples:

  • The defendant was referred to as “a renowned and well-known actor and producer” who was nominated for an Oscar for his role as Clyde in 1967's Bonnie and Clyde.

Contradictions

86%

Examples:

  • Several of his songs found additional fame on film soundtracks like Hungry Eyes in Dirty Dancing.
  • The article states that Carmen had a hit with his contribution to the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, Hungry Eyes. However, this statement implies that Hungry Eyes was originally written by someone else and then covered by Carmen for the movie soundtrack which is not entirely accurate as it does not disclose or quote any sources regarding who wrote the original version of Hungry Eyes.
  • The article states that Carmen's song All By Myself was based on Sergei Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No 2 and Never Gonna Fall in Love Again was based on a part of Rachmaninov's Symphony No 2. However, this is not entirely accurate as it only mentions one source for the inspiration behind these songs which is not disclosed or quoted.
  • The article states that Eric Carmen's song Hungry Eyes was a hit in 1987 and reached No 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. However, this is not entirely accurate as it only mentions one source for its popularity which is not disclosed or quoted.

Deceptions

75%

Examples:

  • The article states that Hirsch met Beatty on a movie set in 1973, where he paid her “undue attention”, invited her to his hotel and made numerous comments about her virginity. According to the suit, the defendant “used his position and status as an adult and a Hollywood movie star to coerce sexual contact with plaintiff on multiple occasions, including oral sex, simulated sex and finally coerced sexual intercourse with the minor child.” The article does not mention that Hirsch was initially thrilled by Beatty's attention and believed herself to be in a romantic relationship with him.
