Members ChitHappens Posted December 6, 2017 Members Share Posted December 6, 2017 Well, we've been hearing about Travolta for years. My guess is they want to see if anything surfaces amid To Catch A Perv before releasing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 6, 2017 Members Share Posted December 6, 2017 They would not pull it for speculation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted December 6, 2017 Members Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) Wow, this new Times piece on Harvey makes me feel physically ill. He really is like a soap supervillain, but soooo many other people have blood on their hands as well.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 6, 2017 Members Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) 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.

Members amybrickwallace Posted December 6, 2017 Members Share Posted December 6, 2017 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. https://www.villagevoice.com/2008/10/24/matt-lauers-roast-tom-cruise-katie-couric-and-3-hours-of-dick-jokes/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 6, 2017 Members Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited December 6, 2017 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted December 6, 2017 Members Share Posted December 6, 2017 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 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted December 6, 2017 Members Share Posted December 6, 2017 Why not? She's consistently awful. I can't wait until she fades into obscurity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 6, 2017 Members Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited December 6, 2017 by DramatistDreamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
