Discussion: Harvey Weinstein Indicted On Three New Charges

Good

Iā€™ve been watching Parts Unknown on streaming, have discovered too late what a great man, raconteur and chef Bourdain was. Also reading his Kitchen Confidential. May never eat in a restaurant again.

I love Frieda, and knowing what Hayek and Judd went through changes everything. Apparently he insisted on a topless scene, she suffered through it.

Anybody notice Weinsteinā€™s small hands in that photo?

You know what they say. Small hands, big. . . ego

Anybody notice how much sex that guy apparently had?

No one smoked a cigarette after, thatā€™s for sure.

yes, I read an interview from her. And I remember being so happy for her when she won the oscar, and as they say ā€œLittle did I knowā€¦ā€

Was that a reference to Weinstein?

Where I live, the two opposing rackists have gang fights on the waterfront with sporks.
I mean 100% post consumer recycled plastic sporks of course.

Better call in ICE to combat all of that gang violence. I bought mine at the Rack Attack.

We watched his very last show, which aired about a week or so ago. It was set in Bhutan, a country we visited not too long ago. Bourdain was there with Darren Aronovsky and I have to say, it was quite odd. Bourdain did not seem himself. Maybe I was reading something into itā€¦.or the editing was not up to par ā€¦.but it was missing the usual thoroughness and energy.

Our son turned us on to Bourdain. He will be greatly missed by all ages and types.

Last night I watched his trip to Congo, pretty horrifying and part of Peru. Back to that tonight.

But before that it was to Montreal for ice fishing and gourmet dining even in the little shack on the ice and also Tangiers hanging out with expats.

Twenty year old Kitchen Confidential is number one on non-fiction best seller lists, and I know why.

I saw that too.

O my goodness - youā€™ve been to Bhutan. How cool is that! Wow.

I really loved Tony. We watched him from the start when he was on the food channel or travel channel doing this before CNN picked him up. Iā€™ve known about since the New Yorker excerpted Kitchen Confidential. I"m still just devastated at the loss - he was such a superb human being and we need to hang onto all we have.

I have been unable to watch any of his stuff since he died. Maybe in six months or so.

Pretty wonderful. Physically gorgeous, and the people are lovely. But you are ā€œchaperonedā€ at all times by an ā€œapprovedā€ guide, which does make it a bit of a self-conscious adventure. Plus, it is very expensive in that you have to pay a couple of hundred dollars a day just for the privilege of being there. Which also rankles.

We were there after traveling through Tibetā€¦.a country and people we fell deeply in love with, and for whom we now grieve. The Tibetans are fast losing all they hold dear as the Chinese do their thing. It is so damn sad.

I hadnā€™t watched his stuff and now Iā€™m feeling incredible sadness at how much we lost but also glad Iā€™m getting to know him even this late. Have you read the book, horrifyingly funny. P. S. Donā€™t order fish on a Tuesday.

Well the Bhutanese are trying to be extremely careful to preserve what they have as Iā€™m sure you know.

Everybody Iā€™ve talked to who has ever been to Tibet loved it. I used to want to go very badly but I know now I wonā€™t make it there.
