Courtney Love once walked past some microphone-wielder at an event, who asked if she had any advice for aspring young women in the business. Her friend muttered something to her and you can hear her reply, “No, he’ll sue me,” but then after a second she went back to the mic and said, “If Harvey Weinstein invites you to a party at the Four Seasons, don’t go.”
9 hoursI do wonder how much of the Courtney hate I’ve seen over the years was started by Harvey over that.

This was recently spoken about because Dom [Monaghan] and Bill [Boyd, who played hobbits Merry and Pippin] … were talking to Sean Astin [Samwise] about his first memory of getting to New Zealand [where the series was filmed].
Truly written for the layperson.

Buscemi would have been a legit excellent Wormtongue or Denethor.
Boardwalk Empire really sold me on his range as an actor.

You know it’s be Galadriel or Arwen.
Also, he’d definitely cast himself as the guy who calls the orcs the n-word 17 times.

I really wanted a Tom Bombadil taking off his boots scene.
Then we could have a scene of Goldberry sloshing through a muddy stream with her feet, in front of a grunting old man willow.
One orc among many in the Lord of the Rings movies was designed to resemble Harvey Weinstein as a “sort of fuck you” to the notorious producer, Elijah Wood, who played the hobbit Frodo in the series, told a Hollywood podcast.
Wtf is this opening paragraph

I don’t know how he has done it. Before LotR, he was largely unknown. After LotR, nothing big came out. So I understand that film studios were hesitant, as so many people try to pitch their ideas as the next billion dollar movie.
It just had to happen. And it would have never been as successful with Miramax or with only 2 movies. Everything just perfectly fit, something that probably isn’t going to happen again in our lifetimes.
You know we have this thing called IMDB. It could really fill in your gaps in this situation.
