OT: Horny Harvey Weinstein

[bubba2023]

I know its fictional, but --- the most famous moment in the greatest movie of all time is the horse head in the Godfather. If you will recall, the Hollywood producer would not give Johnny Fontaine (allegdly based on Frank Sinatra) a part in a movie because Johnny had "ruined" the producer's favorite starlet. Think about it - a 45 year old movie about the 1940's featured movie mogul shenanigans with young girls. This has been going on a looooooong time.

Maybe I am misremembering (haven't seen it in a while) but I thought that was about Fontaine ruining the innocent image the producer was trying to create with his young starlet, not necessarily giving the producer sloppy seconds.

There is no statute of limitations on rape....... as far as I know.

And somebody explain this to me, Gwenyth Paltrow is Hollywood royalty.... her momma is Blythe tanner. How is she not telling mama what happened? Was she that ashamed? Was she that intimidated? Or Angelina Jolie. Her daddy is Jon Voight. Hollywood royalty again.

Was this guy so powerful that he struck fear into the hearts of arguably two of the most powerful women ever in Hollywood?

Clob, one man out there that may be real is Brad Pitt. The story goes that he was dating Ms. Paltrow at the time Harvey tried her. He went to see ol' Harvey and told him "Try to touch her again...and I'll give you a Missouri ass-whipping." I guess that was his way of saying "a good ol' country ass whipping" like we say in Texas.

She obviously survived turning Harvey down and went on to become a Star. So did he. That may be simply because Harvey was afraid of what Pitt would do to him.

harvey took the pervert scale to another level.. agree, this happens at all levels of society. but, this weinstein takes the cake.

was around some mid tier actors in the 1980's/early 90's. they are not much different from what they portray on screen.
_nurse ratchett.. was a bitch
_daisy duke.. was a wildass, little coke head
_sandra bullock was pretty level headed_ she wasnt going to be tricked into sleeping with somebody she didnt want too
_that lady who played Michael Douglas wife in the movie where he was running around with Glen Close was genuinely nice. (close cooked the rabbit in the pot)
_the mid level guys were ok for the most part
etc., etc.,

Now I'll have to watch it again. For the 50th time.

Violence is the answer. I just wish one of these girls would have gone upside his head with a fire poker a long time ago.

I was a background actor in a movie (My All American) and some tv shows (mostly American Crime). My "acting career" was, how you say, a nothing burger.

Gov Abbott severely cut the filming industry tax incentive program in TX so not much filming going on anymore in Austin. He killed my career.
