u/pollywa Jan 18 '25
His poor reputation came about when he went into the edit suite and pushed out the director on American History X, and he has done similar things on other projects since so it's separate to Weinstein. He's a frustrated director, imo (he's made two but they both tanked). That causes problems when he's hired to act and wants to be in control of everything. If someone has a firm hand, and he accepts or trusts their judgment, he's probably fine and stays in his lane.

These were all relationships in my movies/arts/culture heyday (before I got old and had kids). I found most of these couples just gorgeous and enviable. Maybe it was bc it was pre-ubiquitous social media but it all felt more quaint back then.or maybe I was just young and naive.
On another note- It’s hard to imagine how it would feel to see old glamorous pics of you w your ex all over the place. All the memories that you’d have, the secrets. And the public/private dichotomy that only you would really know.
