First, let me emphasize that this came about by accident the other evening when Harvey Weinstein's office refuse was dumped in a recycling bin in Tribeca. So Village Voice newspaper editor Tony Ortega seized it and then wrote an article about the garbage of a movie mogul. What a totally revolting but also utterly fascinating look at Weinstein, who fortunately had a sense of humor about it even though he wasn't happy about it. But don't worry: Ortega went to Staples and bought Harv a shredder.
See Trash Talking With Harvey Weinstein


If this had happened in LA, the LAT would have run an editorial about what an environmental scoundrel Harvey is.

Items found in Harvey Weinstein’s trash:
. A copy of “Anger Management for Dummies” torn in half.
. Early drafts of the “For Your Consideration” Oscar campaign for “Superhero Movie.”
. Hillary Clinton campaign brochures, still damp from tears.
. Quentin Tarantino’s career. (I’m gonna get attacked for this one.)
. Rejected scripts of movies that people might pay money to see.

Was the original Billy Bob Thornton director’s cut of “All The Pretty Horses” in there, because I still have dreams of seeing that.
