I mean, I'm sure it was a joke but it wasn't cute or funny and the guy was literally being driven to a court date about his multiple rapes. Being cute at a moment like that is like weird, Ted Bundy poo poo.

Both the people in that image have repeatedly demonstrated that they're entirely hosed in the head so yes, Bundy is an apt comparison.

Letting people sell assets and the purchaser not having to also pay out owed debts is a really bad precedent. This sale happened because of Weinstein's legal issues and scandal, but what's to stop a company from just creating a shell corporation and selling stuff to it to just not pay out on a contract. Like, I make a movie with Bradley Cooper and owe him $X dollars on the back end, I start an LLC and sell that movie to the LLC and just don't pay him that. Is that legal now?

This isn't particularly novel precedent. When Jeffery of Yospos bought the forums, he did essentially the same thing, buying the assets of the forums, the name and logo etc, but not buy Lowtax's unpaid debts to the frontpage writers. Your hypothetical wouldn't work because you would still own the LLC and Cooper would have still have a claim to your assets because you owed him money. This is only happening because the Weinstien company is gone, and so cannot pay its debts.

This sale happened because of Weinstein's legal issues and scandal, but what's to stop a company from just creating a shell corporation and selling stuff to it to just not pay out on a contract. The key component here is that Weinsteins company filed for bankruptcy and what they were owed was past due royalties. Like the producer of SLP was contracted for $X and points on the net. He was paid X and the points for a few years but the royalty payments stopped being paid at some point, probably in 18 when Harvey was arrested. The new company has to any future loyalties but the u paid ones were set aside during the bankruptcy filing. The $X in this scenario would be an executory debt and if that hadn't been paid, like say they were making a film for Weinstein during the bankruptcy, the new owners would have to pay it to gain the rights. Otherwise the producer would generally be free to shop it around to other studios. It generally says that the new company doesn't owe a % of money they never collected.

The party imploded over absolutely horrific rape and sexual assault allegations against its leader Gerry Healy. The Redgrave's were pretty much the last big members left defending Healy as the reality sank in for a lot of people. Almost all the other leading members turned against Healy except them. So what I'm saying is she probably doesn't care about Spacey's abuse. Edited because despite the username I had completely forgotten Healy's cults name.

There's a quote from Corin Redgrave that's even worse but I can't find it now. Something to the effect of "so he raped a lot of women, isn't the revolution more important?". The WRP was also taking money from Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein to keep its publications floating by that point. True heroes of the proletariat.

That AV Club article is kinda horseshit though, which isn't surprising since they've been barrel-scraping for a while. Oooo this is a valuable lesson on who you choose to work with and maybe abusers won't get to abuse anymore. Like, it's completely ignorant to the realities of production. I thought people were being hyperbolic when they said everyone in Hollywood knew about Weinstein the rapist but people really do think that way.

Skwirl posted:I mean, Courtney Love was talking about Harvey Weinstein being a rapist on red carpets like 16 years ago. Yes, she said a lot of stuff in the past and went on a lot of rants. She was also drug addled for a long time and people found her easy to dismiss. Of course there were people who knew, but you're also hearing rumours multiple times removed being passed around on sets. If anyone posted a rumour here that they heard from someone who heard it from someone else who heard it from someone else etc how much stock are you really putting in it? If say Rose McGowan approached you and told you her story and you still decided to work with the guy then of course that's a different thing. At the end of the day it's ridiculous to think everyone who worked for Weinstein did so knowing that he was a rapist. And that those people should get a finger wagging and an I told you so is based in nothing but wanting to feel superior.

Here you go. quote:One of my abiding memories of 1985 is of a members’ meeting in Scotland, where I lived, held in the week when Healy’s supporters comprised a faction, i.e. after the charges had been tabled but before they had been heard. The meeting was addressed by the late Corin Redgrave (brother of Vanessa), for the CC minority, and myself for the CC majority. Redgrave opposed charging Healy, on the grounds that it would damage the revolutionary leadership. In discussion, a veteran member of the Scottish organisation asked Redgrave whether he could “look me in the eye and tell me, honestly, that these charges are to your knowledge utterly without foundation”, i.e. should not be brought because they were false. Redgrave replied by citing the WRP’s achievements (publication of a daily Trotskyist newspaper, building of a big youth movement, influence in trade unions, etc) and concluded: “If this is the work of a rapist, let’s recruit more rapists.” (In other words, he knew the charges had substance, but thought they should be dropped because Healy’s “party building” achievements rendered them irrelevant.) This statement deeply shocked those present, and we only managed with some difficulty to continue the meeting in good order.

Rose McGowan's story is so insane I almost don't blame for not believing her, that's how terrible it is. Someone claims a famous movie executive is paying former Mossad agents to stalk and harrass you, that sounds like crazy talk. It just happened to be absolutely true in her case

Rape Culture means that people can easily compartmentalize jokes about casting couches and all actresses are crazy bitches or sleeping their way to the top away from thinking these things through to realize how monstrous the topic actually is. Especially because so many women were so thoroughly enmeshed in the system that they continually reinforced that this was normal, just a joke, not really trauma, etc. For instance, Charisma Carpenter in her statement about Whedon acknowledged that she continued to sing his praises at conventions after he did inexcusable things to her, not because she was explicitly silenced or compelled, but because, before MeToo, she just thought his behavior was normal and, thus, excusable. After all, directors are always petty tyrants, but at the end of the day, it's ultimately worth a few "personal spats" to make good television. And she was constantly being asked by fans and reporters about what it's like to work with "a genius" like Whedon, so... that's just the price of genius. And if you heard about Whedon being an abuser, but you also heard Charisma genuinely praise him at cons, the former is unsourced rumor, the latter is evidence. Or for Weinstein, you have all the women who spoke well of him, not just for their careers, but because they genuinely thought highly of him and had good experiences working with him—and for enough people, the idea of a rapist who isn't a rapist 24/7 isn't really conceivable. It's Rape Culture—it's insidious and extensive and has its hooks deep in men and women who should have known better, probably did know better, but Hollywood's set up to make ignoring it and explaining it away the path of least resistance.

Disney’s using this same thing to not pay all the people who wrote Star Wars books and novelizations of other movies whose rights they’ve picked up over the years. It’s bad then and it’s bad here too.
