    I applaud Gal for making the stand (if she really said this, has anyone else reported it?) but I wonder if the reality of the situation will force her hand. The arc of history may bend towards justice but it isn't there yet.
    Ratner is done and he is taking Tsujihira with him. WB wants to be sold to AT&T and they have already made it clear (from what is being rumored) that they want Ratner out or the deal is off. There is way more stories out there and he is well known for his behavior. He will get a mini payout to walk away or risk being completely Weinsteined.

          Olive Thomas was at the same studio at the same time. Just sayin.



          Though, to be fair, she broke into show business the old fashion way, and at 14, so maybe not so appropriate right now...

          The fashions and hairstyles of the 1920s do not do anybody justice.

                It turns out it doesn't matter if Gadot made the demand or not because Ratner won't be involved in financing WW2 anyway. His investment deal expires next spring.

                    In DOA she's great.

                    In everything else she's nothing special.

                                Ok, here we go into the random thoughts of my mind:

                                During the "Mad Men" era, etc, men were harassing women left and right. Might be a leer, or a comment, or a grab-arse. It was acceptable during those days. Nothing was really thought of it (although OBVIOUSLY wrong). Should those men (and to be fair, women who did the same thing) be held accountable for those (since-changed) morals?

                                It's a tough subject, the social ethics have changed quite a bit in the last 50 years.
                                Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.
