    Sad that no one in New York or Hollywood had any idea what a creep he was until now.

    He owns the company. More likely he takes a "leave" to deal with his "issues."

    42 percent of the company, along with his brother. So 21 percent. Obviously that's still a controlling interest, but I'm not sure he can just wait it out until this one goes away, especially if it gets worse.

    Maybe Weinstein and Mnuchin can get together on a movie and then everyone can boycott it.

    Harry Weinstein's attorney is Lisa Bloom. Bloom is the daughter of Gloria Allred. I'm surprised YF didn't point this out.

    Hmm. Mario Puzo already covered this in The Godfather. Woltz.

    I continue to be amazed at the historical connections across decades that all three movies made. Really captured the seedy side of American life.

    If you take care of Harvey, he takes care of you.

    Ms. Bloom, who has been advising Mr. Weinstein over the last year on gender and power dynamics, called him “an old dinosaur learning new ways.” She said she had “explained to him that due to the power difference between a major studio head like him and most others in the industry, whatever his motives, some of his words and behaviors can be perceived as inappropriate, even intimidating.”

    Jesus. Am I supposed to believe he's an unruly miniature schnauzer learning not to pee on the carpeting?

    That he needs hand puppet demonstrations to know to not ask Ashley Judd if she wants to watch him shower in exchange for career advancement?

    That's gotta be like watching someone hose down a manatee.
