Tip of my tongue here. Help me out.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Yeah to be honest I have been thinking lately about some of the  themes of movies that got big in the 90s-2000s \u201cbig indie\u201d Weinstein Era, when his model of \u201cpick up edgy outside-the-system content, aggressively assert thematic control and push them and  their star creators into public view with powerful reputational  campaigns\u201d - Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino certainly</p>\n<p>Remember Shakespeare in Love, about how cool and awesome it was for a great creative maestro to fuck his actresses?<br/></p>\n<p>Remember <a href=\"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0783233/\" target=\"_blank\">Atonement</a>, the 2007 Oscarbait historical drama about a false rape accusation and how the consequences are all so very sad and really it came out of a jealousy triangle between three teenage girls who all basically <i>wanted</i> to fuck this guy and even though it really looked like there was evidence - things you saw, dirty messages - it was really all just a misunderstanding and the one girl who was a scriptwriter really shouldn\u2019t have let her imagination carry her away and late in life dying, it\u2019s the one great regret in her life that she wishes so hard she could have done something to stop it</p>\n<p>Yeah, I think about that sometimes.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Like, after Weinstein picked up Clerks and put it through the classic Harvey\u2122 recutting process, Kevin Smith\u2019s next movie, Mallrats, featured as primary antagonist a guy who acts smooth and sensitive in public but privately is a violent, angry manipulator who likes to inflict unpleasant sex on women, I just thought about that.<br/></p>"}
