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

From #MeToo to #EfYou

Rose McGowan having a rough go of it.

 

What's Harvey's endgame? Does he really think he can defend himself? Rehabilitate his reputation? Go back to work?

He's out of his goddamned mind.

And what happens now to Tarantino?

 

Was wondering the same thing.

He appears to still have some legal jeopardy in England. Will anything come of that?

Does he have enough money to withstand a divorce, and maintain any kind of lifestyle similar to what he's enjoyed?

I don't see him rehabilitating his career. So, what's he do?

 

Disappear. Figuratively or literally. But he seems unwilling to do so.

Cosby, too, which is another head-scratcher.

Just go.

Tarantino probably brazens his way through it, but with some reputational damage. Shit, Jon Landis directed a movie that killed 3 people - and kept working.

 

As an aside, here's 4th-wave feminist Katie Roiphe doing what postmodern feminist contrarians do.

I think Tarantino has said—before everything came out—that he's only going to make two more movies before he retires to write novels. I believe his next planned release is about the Manson murders, starring Leonardo DiCaprio (and possibly Al Pacino). It's supposed to come out in 2019, timed for the 50th anniversary of the Tate murders. Not sure if that's still in the works. That seems like a pretty fraught subject for him and for the times. Anything that remotely seems celebratory of Manson would be met with really hard eyes, I'm guessing.

 

Fucking "Twilight Zone." Landis should have seen jail time.

 

I’d say anyone who acts in such a coordinated, preying manner is already out of their goddamned mind.

 

Really? That's very charitable and makes punishing him questionable. I think he's probably just a very bad person.

 

Fair enough. I wasn’t trying to say he was mentally unfit for trial or anything, just exhibits such antisocial behavior that is at odds with any people I know.

 

More instances of sexual assault, which you’re not supposed to talk about, less you make the institution look bad.

 

If you don't support these sexual assaults you're an anti-Muslim bigot.
