"What did you do to get into character for this role Mr Affleck?"
- I gained 80lbs and grew this stubbly beard
"No, I mean what did you do to get into character"
- Oh, erm, I drew on, erm...

This is very true.
A sanctimonious self-righteous bunch of tossers you'd be hard pushed to find - if only they'd treated Weinstein with the same emotion as Trump.

His desperate pleas for 'a second chance' and 'fair treatment' from reporters makes me sick.
Police launch Weinstein investigations
Fuck you, and like I said when Max Clifford was finally held to account, the Death Star shield is down!

Well obviously I can't rob these scum of the power they abuse, but I can certainly celebrate the occasions where someones immunity goes missing.
I wonder how many other scumbag abusers in Hollywood etc are currently rather nervous? So far when observed from this distance, it seems that unlike the Jimmy Savile thing here which opened things up enough for other some other abusers to be caught, various high-profile abuse cases in the USA seem to explode in relative isolation.

' I'm old school'.
The 2nd chance thing winds me up especially because it seems more likely it would really be a several dozenth, hundredth or thousandth chance. It's hardly one mistake spread over decades, but I suppose its no surprise that having gotten away with a range of shit for so long, his new reality hasn't finished catching up with him yet.

Trump types on Twitter are making great hay about Weinstein being a Democrat funder.
A la: 'Ha! How are the LIBERALS gonna deal with one of their own being a sex abuser?!'
To which someone gave the perfect reply: 'Well, we're not gonna elect him President for a start'
Yes, suddenly the right wing is concerned with abused woman, as long as their abuser is a Democrat. Except the women are also selfish because they put their career ahead of reporting an incredibly powerful man just because of the small detail that experience has shown that historically people like him tend to stay in place while ruining anyone who makes accusations against them.

I dunno, don't underestimate 'the left'. They might, for example, attempt to minimise the significance of the weinstein scandal.

But they did elect one .
I agree with you Trump is a scumbag , both for his attitude towards women , most likely sexual assault of women and his brazen usage of this to score a political point . But the accusations against Bill Clinton were roundly dismissed by his supporters as a republican smear campaign ..and still are to this day .
Trumps " concern " for sexual assault victims isn't sudden...Trump brought a line up of Bill Clintons female victims along to the presidential debate . He got dogs abuse for it in the media and from democrats . Weinstein WAS feted by Obama and the Clintons for years...up until ladt week..despite this being an open secret . He definitely did have very serious political patronage from the democrats ...from a president, an ex president and a presidential hopeful..until last week . And both H Clinton and Obama had to be pressured by their own supporters to condemn and disown Weinstein very late in the day, long after this broke .
They're all scum, all equally partisan, hypocritical and opportunistic . None of them ,Trump or the democrats , have a sliver of the moral high ground here . You couldn't slip a cigarette paper between them on this . And frankly this is a high level Democrat scandal as much as a sexual assault one . They knew all about this guy for years but it wasn't a problem until a few days ago . There no getting away from that . The answer to any whataboutery is simply "Bill Clinton" .

They've already been doing that . The only liberal talk show host who raised it over the weekend was John Oliver...for 1 minute 21 seconds. Probably all he was allowed . None of the rest of them...Maher , Trevor Noah , kimmel et al said a peep . they're on message . And this was frequently referred to as " harassment " by many in the media . It was flat out rape and sexual assault .

There's a video floating around of him wandering about half delirious in appearance outside her house . Looks totally incoherent , lost the plot . Dunno if it's an act or not and a sympathy ploy...he's got form for that " breaks down crying and whines you won't let me rape you cos I'm fat "....but if it's real I'm not surprised she called 911 .

This is outrageous stuff . According to his 2015 contract with Miramax which actually allows him to make multiple sexual harassment settlements as long as he coughs up some dosh , he might actually have grounds for an unfair dismissal case . Contract wise at least it's looking like he was actually unfairly dismissed on the grounds his own company made contractual allowances for him being a sexual predator .
Unbelievable . Institutionalised scum the lot of them .
Also another creepy video of Affleck pawing a reporter has surfaced .

Exasperated, not angry.
No contract can cover illegal behaviour. It would be unenforceable in any jurisdiction.

arbitrary message here
Quote from an article in 2012 that apparently set off a big spat between Weinstein and the Guardian: "The man who could secure a best picture Oscar for a silent black-and-white French film with no real stars is, surely, a man capable of anything."
They know him as God, but you can call him Harvey Weinstein
Also this "Murkier subplots certainly bubble; offstage whispers suggest ominous undercurrents (Weinstein is a man people are strikingly reluctant to discuss, even off the record). "He's still perceived as an absolute nightmare," says one industry insider. "He buys movies, changes them, buries them, fucks over young filmmakers, gets furious when he doesn't get the mention in the acceptance speech.""

So it seems that everybody in Hollywood has known about this for years except for one of his closest mates and drinking buddies, Quentin Tarantino

slight system overdrive
That should help answer one of the questions that has dogged Tarantino's work: Misogynist or Pioneer? The Women Of Quentin Tarantino’s Films - VOX ATL (this article gives the wrong answer btw)
Who could have guessed that Tarantino doesn't give a shit about women??!!

Which is the point of a pay off . It's allowing for pay offs . You don't have to pay someone off for a consensual sexual encounter . A pay off is to make something bad go away . He had to pay miramax a fine every time he raped someone and they sought recompense was the contract . Miramax would pay the legal bills, Harvey would pay the settlement plus a fine to the company . It was a rape contract . Consensual sex doesn't go to court . Companies don't assume a consensual shag ends up in a courtroom .
He hasn't been convicted of anything yet . According to that he's fighting the dismissal .
