I wish I could tell you that Harvey fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that, but prison is no fairy-tale world. He never said who did it...but that mangina was too juicy for some to pass up.
I forgot about his vagina-looking penis.

C'mon Harvey spill the beans on the Clinton Crime Family.

mr. logic

His lawyer said he 'took it like a man'.

Ugh. What does that even mean?

He feigned heart problems to get people to feel sorry for him.

Shoulders?-Stomach!

Yes the insincerity of his dishevelled look, zimmerframe and doddering movements was almost like a character from Scooby Doo, albeit a really dark episode where they catch a man who has raped and sexually assaulted women.

Stood there with his vagina microcock in his hand and cried.

Wasn't the jury shown pictures of his naked body?  Worst day in court, ever!

It looks like a good result, assuming he does go to jail. The sad thing is the lawyers, publicists, handlers, security guards, agents, managers, actors, directors, producers, ex-Mossad intelligence agents and other assorted enablers who helped Weinstein get away with being a sex monster for a quarter of a century will just carry on with their lives.

A couple of months ago Weinstein was at some event or other, rape trial pending in the background. Some woman saw him holding court behicnd a VIP rope, flanked by security guards and other hangers on. She went mad screaming at him. Fair play I thought. The cheeky boy just carrying on like he wasn't on trial for a shopping list of sexual offences. Of course Harvey's security didn't think "This woman has a point", obviously they moved her away sharpish.

Chances are there's plenty more sex offenders going about their business right now. Not being brought to justice.

If you want an idea of the cosy ride he'll get, check out Epsteins conditions

Getting personal escorts in and out of jail for work and giving money to the guards, lol

bgmnts

Special treatment and was still bored and miserable and ended up killing himself.

Weinstein will get suicided.

Epstein had loads of rapey connections though and no doubt some evidence on others. While Weinstein probably had a coupleof loose connections it seemed like he was mostly the only rapist in his cohort and wouldn't have much to spill. I guess he could spill the names of people who protected him but that's not really worth murdering over.

Unless you mean suicided by a normal inmate who took a dislike to him.

Logically, that he's actually a woman.

I want to believe. Weinstein probably has a ton of dirt on other Hollywood and Democrat people.

Yeah, couldn't believe it when I saw Kinnock was a part of it, anyone could be next.

I feel sorry for the cop who's fisted the DeNiro-looking cop and inadvertently pulled out a massive turd.

I'm wondering how long it's going to be before Harvey's Lecter-style face falls off.  He's fooling nobody.

Barry Admin

It just disgusts me that he was able to get away with it for so long, and that this predator was readily propped up by so many.

I'm reading The Godfather at the minute; you know the movie producer in it? Jack Woltz, he's called, and he's described as a total Weinstein cunt who has ravaged so many budding starlets that he's become jaded and listless in his old age. So now he can only get aroused by abusing his underage stars, who the parents deliver to him   

It's just staggering to me that this stereotype does exist in reality, and that fiction and rumour have been able to accurately reflect that for so long. What the fuck is wrong with humanity?

Cerys

The need for sex, the need for power, and the assumption that they're the same thing.

This is a good question Barry.  I'm not sure I fancy looking this morning though, pissing down with rain here (I know) and I've got problems with my chimney.  I can only take so much.

That's because Puzo based it on Harry Cohn, the head of Columbia Pictures:
QuoteHarry "King" Cohn, a nickname he had given himself, who rose out of the slums of New York, to become the head of a major American film studio. But, the streets never left him and Cohn was as rude, crude and vulgar. He regaled in his own ignorance and his ability to offend.

As a producer, many people in the business considered Cohn to be the meanest, most vindictive and hard-nosed man in Hollywood, with a sadistic power fixation. Once, after visiting Italy in 1933 and befriending Mussolini, he would keep a signed photo of the dictator on his desk until the war started, when Cohn returned to Hollywood and had his office remodeled after Il Duce's, with the desk risen on a dais from which he could look down at the writers and directors who worked under him; men like the talented Ben Hecht who despised Cohn and his famous temper tantrums, and gave him his nickname "White Fang."

Starlets who worked for Cohn had to endure at least one "hell week" of sleeping with Cohn if they intended to make it at Columbia, and, in 1948, it was Marilyn Monroe's turn. Cohn had always said that he considered Monroe "a second string no talent with tits" and that the only reason he hired her was that Tony Accardo, then boss of the Chicago mob, owned Monroe's career and had told Johnny Roselli to force Cohn into signing Monroe on with Columbia Studios.

The whole Johnny Fontane story is rumoured to be based on Sinatra using his mob connections to blackmail Cohn into giving him his Oscar winning role in From Here To Eternity which buoyed his flagging career. Cohn also had a chair rigged up to electrically shock victims at the studio, until Frank Capra accidentally sat down in it, got shocked and broke the thing to pieces. Cohn had it repaired and eventually gave up using it after giving one occupant a mild heart attack.

Good grief. That's horrifying and amazing, thanks for the info!

Woltz was based on Columbia boss Harry Cohn, whose MO was very similar to Weinstein's.  Lots of links to the mob as well.  Lovely chap.


EDIT - Hand Solo beat me to it.

Peter Biskind's Down And Dirty Pictures (the follow-up to the excellent Easy Riders Raging Bulls) is most certainly worth a re-read in light of the Weinstein case.

I visit Los Angeles annually and as much as I love the city, there is always a definitive and uncomfortable certainty that there is a lot of darkness around the edges in relation to people in high positions of authority getting away with terrible, awful things.

Perhaps the most disturbing elements are the stories that on the surface one deem as apocryphal but then later turn out to be true or half-true. I often wonder if we will ever discover the truth behind Corey Feldman's claim of a Hollywood paedophile ring, for example - which was subsequently backed up by other actors who had similar experiences when younger.

Or the rumour that Errol Flynn had a sex dungeon and used to let members of the public sneak through corridors between walls to watch celebrity couples staying at his house having sex. Or when a friend of his passed away and the coroner was paid off to allow for he and a friend to "borrow" the corpse for one last drink at his apartment.

Or the tunnels at the Playboy Mansion, where models who had overdosed (or had been drugged) were sneaked out of the place outside of prying eyes - which later became a significant factor in the Cosby case, making you wonder if the tunnels were used as a conduit for other horrible situations involving other people over the years.

Or the revelations behind the controversial book You'll Never Make Love In This Town Again, which include very telling indications of sexual violence involving celebrities interactions with prostitutes, such as Don Simpson who almost certainly used a woman as a human toilet amidst other BDSM activities.

Or George Huang's constant abuse at the hands of an unknown film producer which later evolved into the basis for Swimming With Sharks - the DVD commentary of which more or less heavily suggests that Kevin Spacey was deeply unpleasant to work with, preceding his own downfall for different reasons that have since come to light.

Isn't it more or less confirmed that the producer is based on Scott Rudin and Joel Silver, and not necessarily based on his own experience? Or at least he said it wasn't based on the person he did work for. Fortunately, that whole culture appears to be dying out somewhat, probably with the rise of social media and a bit more of a spotlight on HR abuses. You'll still get older people already in senior positions who behave that way, but you're unlikely to get very far if you try and start now. In a weird way, Silicon Valley has been a more accurate depiction of the kind of culture I've experienced, in the TV industry anyway: a very polite kind of evil.

As for the whole "dark side of Hollywood" thing: I'm sure plenty of grim and grotesque things do happen (as within any circle of rich or powerful people), but I reckon the overwhelming reality of it is a lot more boring - just like any other industry.
