Weinstein could sue for breach of contract. But unless he won on summary judgment, there’d be discovery, which would mean McGowan’s lawyers would get to grill Weinstein under oath about whether he raped her. Weinstein probably does not want to do that, so he’d be better off not doing that.

Oh, I can definitely imagine myself being corrupted into being a murderer, or non-corruptly killing in self-defense.

I’m pretty sure I could spend all day exploring all my desires every day for eternity, and it might get pretty weird but it wouldn’t end in rape.

Then why else would removing the fear of consequences turn a normal man into a rapist?

Five years from now, a Weinstein-produced, Polanski-directed movie gets best picture.

It’s two hours of the same joke about getting wood for sheep.

This illustrates how undermining laws and norms about speech will hurt minorities way more than it would hurt, e.g., white supremacists.

You’re assuming that it’s normal to want to rape people, and that the only thing keeping men from rape is fear of consequences.

Knowing you can get away with it doesn’t turn you into a criminal.

There’s a lot of broke rapists too.

But maybe the men that need that advice are just pieces of shit and do in fact need ex ante rules to keep them from assaulting women. In which case, they should stop being pieces of shit.

Not taking meetings in hotel rooms is probably a good idea anyway though. Even shitty holiday inns have meeting spaces.

Eminem’s great and all, but guys, “Bodak Yellow” is terrible and should not be single of the year or anything at all.

If the unions treat their members like fungible rape dolls, it’s not a good union.

They should dissolve their union and start over. That’s fucking ridiculous.

Don’t they have any bargaining power? Maybe I’m wrong, and SAG doesn’t do any bargaining at all, but if so, that’s insane. The writers’ guild is able to negotiate for streaming royalties to keep writers from being exploited. Surely there must be something SAG leadership could do, especially if a few big actors stood…

Harvey’s next step should be to move to France. He can produce Polanski movies.

I understand the power dynamics behind individual actresses not speaking out more publicly until now.

The civil war in Libya is still going on. What fucking fantasy world do you fucking live in? Libya has two fucking parliaments. If I was going to live in a magical world of delusion, I would delusionally imagine myself surrounded by ScarJo and J Law, instead of playing out insipid neoliberal political fantasies.

They took Snyder’s footage, which was all shot in the dark, and then tried to add a color.
