So forgive me if I’m not massively convinced by Tinsel Town’s panicky little bout of ethical house cleaning.
In fact, the whole on-going torrent of nauseating hypocrisy surrounding the Weinstein scandal makes me puke.
It’s epitomized by British actress Kate Winslet, who is suddenly very, VERY keen for all of us to know exactly how far she went to stand up to Weinstein.
Winslet, 42, told the LA Times she deliberately refused to thank him when she won an Oscar in 2009 for starring in his movie The Reader.
I remember being told, “Make you sure you thank Harvey if you win”,’ she recounted. ‘And I remember turning around and saying, ‘”No, I won’t. I won’t.” And it was nothing to do with not being grateful. If people aren’t well-behaved, why would I thank him?’
Lest we be in any doubt as to what happened, Ms Winslet emphasised:
‘That was deliberate. That was absolutely deliberate.’
I think we get the drift, Kate.
Someone called into the radio show wondering where Val Kilmer had gone. As it turns out, he he suffered, and beat, a serious throat cancer, and as this page from IMDB shows, he is back at work.
I still think Thunderheart was his best film.
