Yeah...So?
I shrugged at this Harvey Weinstein-Joe Roth "please fire me" tape, which made its way around earlier this week. This is how colorful swagger types whose success partly depends on their ability to convince people every day that they fear nothing and no one....this is how guys like that talk. The bluster and the clubby attitude and vague air of entitlement. Most of them swear like sailors, and it's kinda funny when they do.
I don't live in these realms on a daily basis but time and again I've been in the room when such conversations have taken place. Twas ever thus.

It's all about cash flow, so why doesn't anybody go after the exhibitors, why are they sacrosanct?

My favorite story of this nature was when a very young Matt Damon stood up to Weinstein and told him he had final cut and final say over "Good Will Hunting." Harvey went ballistic, and Damon won out.
Mr. Damon is not my favorite actor, but he is a very smart, very tough guy. Ben Affleck is much the same way. I admire them.
The old Hollywood types, like Lew Wasserman, wielded power bluntly also. But they did it with a lot more subtlety. Things were better then.

Joe Roth has spent a ton of other people's money making so many lousy movies. He's done a bad job, he just hasn't been fired for it very often.
