no! he was the pillar of the grant administration!

if you were a gay kid who had a positive sexual experience w/ an older man and you consider it a good thing that happened, i'm genuinely not trying to take that away from you

but it doesn't negate anything i put in that post

anyway i'm done, i'm out, that's all

Otm.

whoa.

<3

^^^

she hasn't been in a movie since Burnt (2015) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uma_Thurman#Filmography , which was released by...

and next year she's doing another Von Trier movie?

a Hot Take

I suspect (but can't prove) von Trier has been better behaved since he sobered up

This seems to be an Italian thing. Was having a conversation about Weinstein with an Italian (female) colleague of mine and she wasn't exactly sympathetic towards his accusers.

I suspect it happened before this. Charlotte Gainsbourg came to his defense, and she's been working with him since 2009. And I don't think you could do Antichrist and have the leading actress interested in working with you again unless you were quite professional.

On the other hand, his marriage recently fell apart because he got caught having an affair with a writer who then wrote about it. And his longterm producer/business partner Peter Aalbæk Nielsen is being forced off the credits of his new film because his answer to allegations of sexual harassment was 'yeah, I probably did that, but I've forgot about it, so it's her problem'.

When the Zentropa story is retold in a couple of years the story is going to be MUCH different than it has been.

that Uma Thurman video 0_0 wow

saying so little, yet saying so, so much

Harry Dreyfuss story is chilling. The blatantcy, smug confidence, all of it.

on the heels of blaming Rose McGowan for not coming forward sooner

ooof

Have any of these guys ever heard of the phrase "No comment"?????????

Is this your first encounter with Alec Baldwin? This is not even the first time this year that he's closed his personal twitter and immediately used his charity's account to attack someone for social justice politics and their career choices

But that looks like a new low.

Baldwin's "I've bullied women" comment makes me think he's done far worse and is trying to control the narrative before it comes out.

he's an incredible jerk, but that kinda speculation is the kinda pitchfork-and-torches stuff i find disquieting

I mean, Bourdain does eat worms on his show...

I mean, this is "screaming at his daughter over the phone" Alec Baldwin

alec "screaming at his daughter over the phone" baldwin

was that in response to something they said to him?

it was a custody thing: Baldwin took out his anger at the mother on the daughter, when the mother had the daughter call Baldwin to say that she wasn't going to make a handover

https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/harvey-weinsteins-army-of-spies

I know about the yelling at the daughter thing; I meant was the bourdain/argento post in response to something direct that they said?

I fucking hate twitter

wow @ that New Yorker article

Criminal prosecutions aside, surely to god there's an avalanche of lawsuits coming that will leave Weinstein bankrupt for life.

re: the new yorker article, god knows what other shit he pulled that we don't know about, if this came out...

Ronan Farrow deserves a vaca right about now.

I'm always amazed at how much work must go into those New Yorker articles. Makes me feel like an invertebrate.

an avalanche of lawsuits coming that will leave Weinstein bankrupt for life.

It's a nice thought, but I'll believe that when I see it. The accusations can all be true and yet have insufficient evidence to succeed in extracting damages in court. It's more likely he'll die rich, but largely shunned by everyone he knew in the movie industry.

wow this NYT statement to @brianstelter. Goes hard at David Boies for helping suppress Weinstein accusers while also representing the paper pic.twitter.com/2rXqtUTMxm

— Matt Mittenthal (@mattmittenthal) November 7, 2017

Boies is definitely the one taking the hit in that new story. Also just surreal having a spy on the books to talk to everyone to extract information.

horrifying
esp wrt sexual assault

oh god, I just got a promotional email from the local newspaper

Don't Miss Alec Baldwin Live

sorry, think I will

he's gonna be promoting his new book at a local prestige movie theater, sold out a while ago

feel bad for his co-author, timing sucks

if you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

A-B-C. A-Avoid, B- Baldwin, C-Co-authoring.

maybe his co-author can come forward and explain how Baldwin never even read the book when he runs for president in 2024

Rae Dawn Chong = another woman with a promising acting career & I wondered what happened with that. Now I know. https://t.co/359BXHRVUU pic.twitter.com/zEi8wJTRmn

I didn't think I could think any less of Seagal.
