And Lionsgate did more than just pull the movie, they sold it back to the production company, suggesting they wanted to be rid of the movie.

 

 

 

I just finished reading. At first, I had no intention of reading yet another Weinstein article but figured that this would name names, which it did. 

 

It's bizarre how much Weinstein and Trump have in common, down to the connection to the man who owns the publisher of The National Enquirer.

According to a People article published today, Matt Lauer is "weak and broken and ashamed" since his firing. Boo freaking hoo, Mr. Pervert!

 

Check out this article from 2008 about the now-infamous Matt Lauer Roast. So much for the NBC folks not knowing about his, ahem, quirks.

I was disappointed, if not surprised given how self-defeating and ponderous NYT has been in recent decades, that they included Lena Dunham making Weinstein all about herself by claiming she'd warned Hillary's campaign and no one had listened. 

 

Apparently she's too stupid to see that if she knew, Hillary or many in Hillaryland certainly knew, as many in the industry and the political world likely knew. 

 

Apparently she's also too stupid to realize that after everything with her sister and with the Girls co-writers she blindly defended, she's the absolute last person to speak as any moral authority on this issue. 

 

And to use this issue for an "I told you so!" is shameful.

Exactly.  You think YOU feel "weak and broken and ashamed," Matt?  Well, it ain't even a tenth of how the women that YOU victimized over the years must feel.  However, they, unlike YOU, will keep working in the business they've committed their lives to; and as far as I'm concerned, that's justice.

 

Me, to Lena: "Is it possible that no one listened to your warnings about Harvey Weinstein, not because you're a woman, but because you're, well, you?"

 

I probably shouldn't say this, or even think it, but I, for one, cannot WAIT for the day when Lena Dunham's career is shot down like the virus-infected bird that it is.  #BIRDEMIC

That writer's room sounds a bit...er, much.

 

Honestly, I wonder what Judith Light's thoughts are on all this. Perhaps a lot of the cast and crew were able to simply do their jobs and go home but it seems like boundaries were being crossed all over the place. 

A great deal of the off-camera dynamics sound like a complete mess.

    • Me saying all the praise for Eva/Ambyr. Y'all..

    • Yeah, something is not right here. I will continue to have doubts about Leslie being Eva's mother for the time being. Until at least the writing/behavior of her character changes. She is acting way too cold/uncaring/hateful to be her mother. I know as soap fans, we have seen our share of rough around the edges, bad acting mothers. But even some of the roughest of soap mothers have acted like they love their children. Even if they don't always make the best decisions regarding them. Or are often at odds with them. Leslie has not shown anything for me to show that she even cares about Eva, even a little. It's all about what Leslie/wants needs and what Eva can do for her. As soon as she felt like Eva no longer served a purpose for her she threw her away. I am interested in seeing what happens with Leslie going forward. She really doesn't have anyone on her side. Eva at least now has Ted and Tomas to a lesser degree. I think that some others will eventually come to accept Eva in time.
    • I'm looking forward to seeing the first 18 minutes or so that we missed earlier this episode. But I loved what I saw today: I thought that what I saw of Bill's/Ted's interaction was realistic and interesting. I know we have hardly seen them interact, but I think that they have nice chemistry together. And Iiked the dialogue that they had about their roles/mistakes in this whole paternity reveal/hurting Nicole. I would like to see them interact more together in the future. I also enjoyed Dani being there for Nicole and giving her good advice. I did lol when Dani said she wanted to take off her earrings and be left alone with Leslie, Eva, Bill and Ted... I like Nicole as always acting mature and measured and trying to process what has happened to her along with support from her sister. I like that her family supported her and gave her space (including her parents) and then she went to them when she was ready. I enjoyed her scenes with her parents at the end. Speaking of parents, Leslie continues to act like this. Her behavior towards Eva is trash and she literally threw the picture of them together at the end in the trash. She really doesn't deserve Eva, and I continue to wonder if she really is her mother. She is just too cold towards her and sees her as a means to an end. I really wonder if she thought that Ted was going to help Eva. Or if she was hoping that he would turn her away as well. I'm glad he helped her and wants to try and have a relationship with her. It will cause conflict with the rest of the family, but it's the right thing for him to do, IMO.
    • What an interesting read @Paul Raven. Thank you so much for posting it. Annette
    • She’s riveting. And how she transitioned from utter devastation after the confrontation with Leslie to hopeful in the Ted scene—so seamless. She’s easily the most exciting actress I’ve seen in daytime in a looooooooong time. If she’s not the face of this show in a few months, they’re leaving money on the table.
    • Yeah either Leslie is a demented mother, or Leslie is not the real mother.
    • Ambyr is killing it per usual. The Eva and Leslie confrontation was GOOD. I gotta admit Ted taking in Eva and promising to do right by her made me cry.    See, he can still be a decent guy

    • Leslie threw Eva's photo in the kitchen garbage can.

      She threw out that picture of Eva. Im convinced Eva is NOT her daughter. She has no maternal instinct. Thats Nicole's kid   awww Ted is getting her an apartment and he said he would never leave his daughter. I love it! I bet it will be better than that dump Leslie had her in and she better not open the door for her
