a *little* rough around the edges.. but a heart o' gooold..
That last bit with Gere plays abit like if Harvey had a comeback in a few years lol (or maybe if Gere from now time travelled back to whenever that was 2003/04)
This video is from Oct 8, 2017.
shareHollywood IS Harvey Weinstein.
shareExactly. The whole circus is a bigger joke than this Impeachment trial.
shareThe "Weinstein" situation plays out across the globe every day. Let's not act as if this only happens in Hollywood.
shareI'd like to hear what Tarantino has said about the situation. Weinstein definitely helped his career.
shareThey were thick as thieves. I doubt Tarantino will ever open his yap about it. He knew about it all for sure, was likely present for some of it if not a participant. I mean look at Harvey. That dude is a back room bragger. He's a total blowhard. QT was entertained by all his rotten stories, i've no doubt.
shareProbably pretty accurate. Tarantino did a lot of blow back in the day as well. I'm sure some shady shit went down.
I remember Uma came out and pretty much threw Harvey under the bus.
I used to be obsessed with QT back in the day. There's tons of photos of him and Harvey having dinner together and what not. They weren't just work colleagues. Hollywood in the 90s was pretty much the last of the old school wild west days too. Shit went down for sure. But. QT, like most aging artists, has reinvented himself as an auteur and family man. Even if stories did come to light, he's pretty much untouchable now. Like Woody and Roman.
shareMeh, I think if women came forward and implicated QT there would be damage.
shareQT eventually gave out a quote something like this: "I knew enough about Harvey that in retrospect I probably should have done something about it, but at the time, I did not." (That included Harvey hitting on , and then blacklisting, QT's then-girlfriend Mira Sorvino.)
The problem for QT with Harvey is that Harvey gave him his breakthrough movie(Pulp Fiction) and then made sure to give QT total freedom to make everything after that up through The Hateful Eight. This included Kill Bill (it was Harvey's idea to split it into two parts) and Grindhouse(with Death Proof as one HALF of the movie, the inverse of Kill Bill.)
Harvey facilitated QT getting rich and famous -- but QT in turn gave Harvey his "in house auteur demigod" -- it was a mutual dependency that just couldn't be penetrated(ahem) by the allegations.
Ironically, after Weinstein's downfall, QT was courted by various studios for his next movie(Once Upon a Time in Hollywood)...and given EXACTLY the same power and freedom that Harvey had given him.
QT had just been loyal, is all.
'a little rough around the edges!.. but a heart o gooold'
I love that line
As much of a glutenous pig Harvey is, his name and company greenlit A LOT of groundbreaking movies that have influenced subsequent changes and genres in Hollywood. If Miramax and Weinstein Company didn't exist there would be a large library of missing iconic movies.
shareLot's of blonde ladies there. 🤔
shareCould a Hollywood comeback be now in the cards?
Hollywood loves a comeback!
