Weinstein-ism of the week: Weinstein on Weinstein

Filmbrain is still enjoying the Biskind book, and is convinced that The Brothers Weinstein Story would make for an excellent screenplay -- Two schlubs from Queens hit the big time, but retain their street-yout mannerisms.

This week: Harvey opens up, and reveals a thing or two about himself that may come as a surprise:

"Look, I may be fat, but I'm not stupid." (p.45)

"I'm not the kind of Jew who marches politely off to the gas chamber. I'm the kind of Jew who says, I'm gonna track you down and kill you, you SS fuck -- and your family." (p69)

Even better screenplay idea -- A bloated, smart, chain-smoking vulgarian hunts down Nazis and their families. "Get me Steven Spielberg...pronto!"

The Weinstein-isms of the week puts this blog in a higher class than most. Genius.

Thanks for the comment.

Have been receiving email from somebody who keeps telling me not to pick on Harvery. That I should be thankful for what he's done for independent cinema. (Cold Mountain is quite an inide flick, huh?)
