Even The Wolf likely can't clean up Harvey Weinstein's pending troubles

There we go, not being careful with words again.

 

100%.

 

I'm not a good writer. It's well-established.

 

He's a Hollywood A-lister, shit he's an A+lister among his age group and younger. I have to guess he was already getting laid like a bandit, and why he was so insistent, even after she started to show hesitation.

This wasn't his first rodeo.

 

I'm not saying that. You can make this personal if you want, but I'm trying to steer clear of any of that crap, because you already said I won and that's good enough for me. (That's a joke.) That "words matter" is one of the few things on which you and I agree. All I'm saying is, you often come across as a pedant, but you don't apply the same standards of care to yourself. I can't tell you how many times you say "this is what I meant." When we're debating exclusively with the written word, you need to choose your words carefully. I agree! But that also includes you.

 

Right. So, if his work doesn’t dry up, and he continues to get laid like a bandit, how tough a week has this been for him?

 

Good post OOP.

 

What I'm curious about is whether he will feel compelled to have to change his comedy, by the market. I'm mostly familiar with his "Parks and Recreation" character. But as I understand it, he has built his post-"P&R" career on mining his being a "nice guy" in a bad boy's world for comedic gold. Can he get away with that any more? Time will tell. Maybe he'll even address this, in-depth, at some point. Probably after the statute of limitations has expired, though.

 

I have no idea what this means.

 

Well, again, because Dick dodged the same question: Would you want to experience it?

 

I didn't mean to dodge it.

To be clear:

No.

I would not want the intimate details of this sexual encounter laid out in public like this was. That said, considering her characterization of his behavior that night, I think he has to be pleased with the general reaction. I imagine he anticipated the possibility of a lot worse. He has been treated as a sympathetic figure, largely. I said that and I stand by that. But that doesn't mean this has been a net positive for him.
