...Nearing the end of reading this quite fascinating book now. It mainly deals with Harvey Weinstein & Miramax, although it's actually about Independent Film in the 90s and into the 2000s.
My God, Harvey & Bob Weinstein have really fucked a LOT of people over in their time, even though Miramax released some great films.

yeah, they even wanted to edit princess mononoke to make it shorter and more family friendly. they're really only in it for the money, which is bizarre for a distribution studio known for releasing art films.

There is a fun documentary called "This Film Is Not Yet Rated" which details how the big studios/mpaa have been crapping all over movies since the 50s.

Didn't that film, fittingly, have trouble with the censors?

yep, it got an NC-17 due to sexual content, the it's own rating is chronicled in the movie itself... pretty funny stuff
