    To be fair, Harvey seemed to believe he knew how to handle animated films prior to Weinstein Company because of what he did with The Thief and the Cobbler/The Princess and the Cobbler when he was with Miramax

      Yes, but we all know their edit of The Thief and the Cobbler did not turn out well. Bob and Harvey Weinstein learned nothing from how much they messed with / edited / cut down The Thief and the Cobbler, which is why Hayao Miyazaki made it a point to forbid them from cutting down Princess Mononoke, and why Hoodwinked Too was much worse than Hoodwinked when they had more creative control with it than Cory and Todd Edwards.

    Well done, as always, Stefan! The moment of support for the brave women who revealed the horrifying, repulsive truth about Harvey Weinstein (plus other perpetrators) is especially good (not to mention, key)!
    You're absolutely correct; the world is indeed a better place without the involvement of the Weinstein brothers!

      Another amazing story of a filmmaker standing up to Harvey Weinstein was when his company bought the rights to Bong Joon-ho's "Snowpiercer." Weinstein wanted to cut a pivotal scene involving a fish and Bong said the scene was emotional for him, because his father was a fisherman. Weinstein responded by saying family was important to him, too, and let the scene stay in.
      Bong Joon-ho's father was never a fisherman.

      Robert Rodriguez also cast Rose McGowan in "Grindhouse" as a middle finger to Weinstein, because of him blacklisting her from appearing in his productions.
      And Peter Jackson purposely put the Weinsteins' executive producer credits in "The Lord of the Rings" next to two ugly trolls as his own eff-you towards them.

    I miss the studio. It had a lot of potential, great movies that I enjoyed from it are Sarah’s Key, The Intouchables, Undefeated, The Artist, Quartet, Lion, The Giver, Paddington, and The Founder. It had so much potential. Gone too soon. Rather than being discontinued, they should have replaced Harvey Weinstein and left it in charge of someone else

      There's a reason for that. Like Dino Kitteh mentioned, there were a bunch of movies that Harvey Weinstein would frequently delay until they were finally released with very little publicity. Tulip Fever is a perfect example of this. It was filmed in 2014 and had about five different scheduled release dates until eventually coming out on Labour Day weekend 2017. And Labour Day is notorious for being the worst time to release any movie.

    For the actual record, I don't follow the news so sorry in advance if I came off as defining someone who was as evil. You said both men did horrible things to women and yes it's horrible for those victims but l don't know if Bob had any knowledge of it and hated what his brother did. If he did anything, lm sorry again in advanced as then I totally want him in jail. Otherwise it just seems like Bob's being blamed for Harvey. Once more I sincerely apologise if something happened I'm not aware of and I hate anyone involved in the acts that happened. The women who suffered never deserved any of those horrible things and I hope they find great help. And bless them coming forward.

    • @MrCoat
      @MrCoat  4 роки тому +2

      To explain Bob's culpability, he was his brother and his closest associate and they often worked side-by-side. So he was very much aware of Harvey's actions and why he would blacklist certain actresses. Peter Jackson, for example, has remarked that both of them tried to dissuade him from casting Ashley Judd and Mira Sorvino in The Lord of the Rings, because those actresses had turned down Harvey's advances (the Weinsteins told Jackson a BS story that they were difficult to work with).
      There's nothing wrong with not knowing and I hope I have filled in the blanks for you.

      Weinstein is gone, Lionsgate has the catalog rights of TWC movies. Sequels for both Miramax & Weinstein IPs are currently owned by Spyglass Media Group (involved in Scream (2022) and VI), after taking over the long awaked 20-year joint-venture agreement since December 16, 2013 made by the Weinsteins (will expire on the 2033). There are exceptions like Clerks III (after Kevin Smith's conflict for Zack and Miri and the last straw with Red State, split the partnership against the Weinsteins; Jay and Silent Bob Reboot has Miramax credit without Weinstein involvement).
