I guess my stance is that his comments are mitigated, hers aren't.<BR/><BR/>He didn't treat her in anything like a "David O Russell" manner, he just didn't kid glove her when she was rubbish.<BR/><BR/>If actors don't ever meet criticism what you end up with is films like <B>The Postman</B>.Brendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10309989745145067712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22247172.post-90958369449820017692007-04-02T20:53:00.000+00:002007-04-02T20:53:00.000+00:00I see your point and fully acknowledge that I may ...I see your point and fully acknowledge that I may be reading your tone differently than you intended.<BR/><BR/>But I still see fault lying with Gilliam. Not all the fault - the Weinsteins, of course, had a hand - but the man needs to take responsibility for shooting his mouth off about someone else in the industry.<BR/><BR/>Yes, Headey was forced on him by the Weinsteins, but that doesn't excuseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22247172.post-70375764184726118622007-04-02T17:35:00.000+00:002007-04-02T17:35:00.000+00:00Of course she can say this.

I'd never say she couldn't.<BR/><BR/>But I will say it isn't fair.<BR/><BR/>She was treated the way she should have been: it made her performance better, and that was the job she as there to do.<BR/><BR/>We're all adults.

The Weinsteins pushed bad choices on him? Fine. But he took a work-for-hire job and everybody knows about Harvey Scissor-hands reputation. Gilliam isn't a child. He should've know the risks going in. And Damon and Ledger have done so many interviews where they talk about Gilliam on-set just rantingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22247172.post-45861889032248882742007-04-02T17:11:00.000+00:002007-04-02T17:11:00.000+00:00The only difference between what you said and what...The only difference between what you said and what I said is... er...<BR/><BR/>Nothing.<BR/><BR/>Yes, he said she wasn't his first choice.

And, after that, she isn't due to say she had a lousy time working with the man? I didn't care Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
