The recent news about Harvey Weinstein
I'm sure many here have been following the recent news about Harvey Weinstein, and the numerous allegations leveled against him. Some are extremely serious; but even if we set aside allegations of criminal behaviour, he appears to have behaved like a repulsive bully.
I say this here because he is down as Executive Producer of all 3 of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings films. Someone doesn't need to be an orc to be accused of orc like behavior... |

Well, I can't see all that having any direct effect on perceptions of the LOTR films.
I daresay Executive Producer is not something most people really pay attention to with movies. I'm not much of a cinemaphile, but the cast is more interesting to me when deciding if I want to see something.

For the record, Peter Jackson says that Weinstein "blacklisted" two actresses whom he claimed were hard to work with. These actresses later accused him of sexual impropriety.
